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
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
