Work Experience

Jack

I am just about to complete a CIPD Level 3 Certificate in HR Practice, however I do not have any actual work experience in HR yet.

Could someone please provide advice on the best way to gain work experience (even if unpaid) in either HR or at least within an 'office' environment.

  • Hi Jack,
    Are you studying through a college? If so they should have an employability section that should be able to assist. If not I would suggest looking for volunteer roles in a sector you are interested in, but particularly the charity sector. For example, I am Head of HR for a charity in Cambridgeshire and would welcome a volunteer HR practitioner for as many hours a week that an individual was willing to give - I have many and varied projects that could be given to a volunteer as well as the opportunity to get involved with my team's day-to-day tasks depending on the volunteer's interests. I wouldn't be the only one 'out there' that would be able to facilitate some volunteering so I'd suggest having a look at some charities that might interest you and send them an email with your CV.

    Good luck!
