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
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
contact croner-i via portfolio payroll about a trainee HR advisor role they have in blackfriars, would you be willing to travel to Hinckley on the train from Euston? Its an hour away? Croner Group are advertising, the key is showing your CV as a people manager rather than just as a GM, you would be an ideal candidate for me but we are based in Manchester. you have practical experience that you need to bring to life, feel free to share on a private message your CV and happy to review it, i think you need to give more examples, how many staff you managed, how you worked with HR, any ER or Tribunal experience, appears etc , i think its all about how you present your experience given a lot of organisations CV sift so dont have the time or processes to look past the CV
