HR career help from someone who's 'been there'

Johanna

Hi everyone, I'm posting this in the Careers Clinic as it might benefit many of you 

Natalie Ellis, Author of 'Launch Your HR Career' has written a really helpful and practical blog post here on the CIPD website, with some great careers advice tips and shared experience. You can take a look here - interested to hear your thoughts on it below!

  • The blog is an interesting read. It would be good to have a similar piece by someone with more recent experience of making the transition. Natalie says that she had to go to 9 interviews before she got her first job. The people who come here for advice are making many, many more applications than that. I have the impression that it has become much harder in recent years to get into HR than it used to be but that might be because the people who come to this forum for help are by definition the people who are having difficulty.

    I was looking at the Wiki section of the forums the other day because there was an answer to a post I thought would be a useful one to steer people to but I couldn't work out how to add it. It would be good to collate some of the replies to these sorts of queries in the "Discussion Threads of Note" section. At the moment, when people ask for advice on how to break into HR, mostly the reply is "there's a lot in the forums already so try a search". It would be a bit more friendly to signpost them to something specific.
