Am I being naive?

Perhaps I am! I’ve been applying for HR jobs left, right and centre and nothing, not even an interview. It’s really demotivating as I worked extremely hard to get my CIPD qualification, so much so that I am about to start my level 7. Now I may not have worked in a solely HR role but I do have experience and many transferable skills that I feel would benefit many organisations. I would have thought that being CIPD qualified would mean something? And it’s not like I am applying for BP roles. I know I need to take a pay cut and work my way up but there’s just been no interest in what I have to offer

  • What’s your background experience, specific roles applied for? Area of the country ? Salary expectation?
  • Hey Alan. Thanks for reaching out. I have worked in Hospitality as a General Manager for over 10 years. As a GM I am responsible for all aspects of the business, including:
    - full recruitment journey (placing advert, interview, onboarding)
    - team development (talent reviews, coaching, setting up PDPs)
    - disciplinary and grievance procedures
    - ensuring HRIS is up to date, including right to work checks
    - completing and submitting payroll, ensuring team are paid correctly and on time
    - I also sit on the company diversity + inclusion panel

    I am currently looking at administrator roles, due to working in a solely HR role in the past. I feel this is probably the right level to pitch myself at.

    I am based in Surrey and willing to travel into London. After looking at administrator roles and salaries on sites such as glass door, totaljobs etc..I am expecting to earn anywhere between £25k - £30k
