Hi everyone. I am new to the site
. my story long short:worked in hospitality, lost job due to Covid19. in 2018 I completed a Level 3 Cipd in HR practice. Several months ago I started looking for a starting job in HR. I have professionally re-write my CV highlighting my transferable skills. With no experience I have not find anything. Of course I am aware of the circumstances. I have decided to dedicate my time to study as much as possible HR related topics. There is a lot of information put there and I am getting a bit anxious so I decided to ask for opinions where to start, which books you recommend? Thank you in advance and I am sorry for the long message.
Rather than recommend any books, I suggest you use the search function to see what advice there is in these discussion forums for people who want to start a new career in HR. It is one of the questions that comes up most frequently and you will find a lot of helpful advice. As you have already found, HR can be difficult to break into.
Hi Roxana,
Sign up for the Mentoring scheme. You will have the opp to choose a Mentor who could help you through with CVs and applications for HR jobs. The scheme is free and is offered by CIPD.
Hi,
As well as all the great advice you've had so far, I would recommend the CIPD events. Now that they are all on Zoom, we can do many more than usual at all of the different branches.
