Struggling to find HR job

Lizzie

Hi all,

I am currently looking for a job as an HR administrator/assistant but keep being rejected. 
I do have over seven years experience in workforce planning and recruitment but still not getting anywhere. 

I’m also entering the final stages of my level 7 Msc Human Resources management course but this doesn’t help me either. 

Has anyone any tips on how to make myself attractive to employers or on how they entered more explicit HR roles? 

any advice is appreciated! Many thanks

  • Hi Lizzie,

    If you are finding that you are constantly getting rejected for roles you feel you have experience in, I would revisit your CV. I would suggest that your experience and skills may not be fully represented and this is why you are not getting past the shortlisting stage. Make sure it reflects the skills and experience required (mirror the keywords in the Job Description) without embellishing of course! For example, if you are going for HR Admin roles - do you have plenty of evidence of administration duties - is the term administration even in your CV?!

    Hope this helps.
