  • Hi Alex,

    From what you have written I can think of a few issues, so far.

    1. You have experience but is it relevant and if so how well have you demonstrated that?

    2. Is your experience only short-term jobs or extra done at another job? Let say you work as a stock room manager and do HR admin activities such as recruitment. That is a great experience to have but it is not enough. However, it depends so I cannot judge blindly on the basis of my assumptions.

    3. Can you share more about your experience, like a bullet point list or screenshot of your CV to review?

    4. I noticed that you did a few grammar and spelling errors on your post, I will assume it is due to your typing speed. However, if you send someone a CV or an email regarding work opportunities, and do end up making grammar and spelling errors, then it is likely for them to reject your application.

    Hope this was useful to get you started, let me know if you need more advise.

    Kind Regards,

    Bobby
