Where to start my HR career?

Hi everyone, I’m Sasha (currently close to finishing off my Level 5). I have been looking into entry level job roles to start off my HR career but most if not all have asked me for previous experience. Can someone guide me in terms of where to start looking for some work experience? It would mean a lot, thankyou!

  • Don't give up, because you will get there, and your level 5 will certainly get you noticed. As Hannah said, an admin job offering low level HR would be good to start building your portfolio of experience.
    I have my level 3 and whilst I have over 3 years experience in HR, it was for a small organisation and very sector specific. When I started looking for a new challenge, my experience didn't make me stand out and it took me a long time to get that offer. But I did get there, and I was very honest that I don't know everything. However I said, when it comes to HR you will never know everything in this everchanging world with all of these legislation updates, so every opportunity is a learning opportunity. I also spoke of the importance of reflective practice. You will get your big break. Good Luck!
