Route into HR

Hello All,

I am presently completing my level 5 in HR. I plan and will be finished at latest in December 2020 however I am hopeful to be completed before then.

My background is as a duty manager, line manager, senior manager and business owner in sports, retail and food service industries which had given me 20 years experience as a manager with 9 years of it in a larger retailer where as a line manager and senior manager I had a lot of exposure to dealing with people management and HR within my roles such as recruitment and selection, performance management, people management, disclipnary and investigations etc which I am seeing especially now with completion of this course.

My question is how do I translate this into jobs I can apply for once the course is completed.

For example I have a lot of business experience so would I be considered for a HR business partner role? 

Thanks for your help in advance.

I am from Edinburgh and would be looking to commence a full or part time role in HR on completion of the course and I am flexible to what level I start.

  • I would back Robert, I made the move from retail management into hr advisor role and it is very different... as Robey said, we are very hands on and faced paced which puts you in good stead. I started doing volunteering within a hr department with a charity, I then secured my first role in HR however took at £15k pay decrease! However I needed out of retail so was happy to do this!
  • Thanks for your reply. Understand why you would need out of retail speaking from experience! Was great for providing loads of experiences but not for having a life outside retail.
