Having come from a secretarial role that had some responsibility of managing disciplinary hearings and whilst studying for my L3 CIPD which I have now passed, I secured myself a HR coordinator role in the same organisation however I feel this role is offering me limited experience to HR as the majority of HR is outsourced externally and my sole responsibility in my HR role is managing sickness absence. I am worried I have made a mistake and that I won't have much to offer in the future if I apply for more senior HR roles as my HR exposure is very limited in my current HR role. I have started seeing a mentor which I hope will help as at the moment my current role is making me lose confidence. Has anybody else felt like this when they first started out in HR and if so how did you go about gaining more exposure?
I am too in the same situation. I'm losing all confidence in myself lately and this is down to my current role and the lack if HR activities it involves. I work in a hr department but as a Clerical Assistant. I do lots of HR tasks however, anything operational I'm only asked on very rare occasions (probably been 3 times in almost 2 years I've been offered to be involved in disciplinaries and to support other teams). I feel that time is ticking by and everyday I'm getting myself into a deeper hole as I'm currently not learning or developing. I really do understand.
