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
Hi Johanna. Thanks for reaching out. I definitely need to make more use of the services available and really want to attend some events so will take a look and see what is out there. Andy
UPDATE: After re-working my CV I was offered several interviews and I am pleased to announce that after being offered a few roles, I have accepted the position of a Junior HR Advisor. I am absolutely over the moon and cannot wait to get started. Thanks to everyone for your support, and a special thank you to Keith for your advice about why CV and Alan for believing in me! I will be forever grateful
Well, that's just fab news Andrew. Very many congratulations, I hope you manage to celebrate in fine (Covid) style. Wishing you well with your new role and you know where to come if you'd like a sanity check at any time. :-)
What a great end to the week! Well done and best of luck in your brand new role! You can always come back to the Community for future support and we look forward to hearing how you are doing!
