Route into HR

Bryan

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.

  • Hi Bryan,
    I too have had a similar background, spent many years involved in HR around my role, but never held a HR title. Obviously your CV will need to identify the HR involvement you have had within past/ current roles. I registered with lots of agencies that specialise in HR but had to be prepared to take on both temporary roles and be willing start start at a low entry level to gain the hands on experience with a HR title. This is what I have done and been lucky to get a 16 mth temp contract that should hopefully help me move onwards and upwards, with my Level 5 and HR hands on experience.

    Hi David, thanks for your reply it’s appreciated. If you don’t mind me asking what type of role have you secured now on the longer contract.

    I have managed to get a role as Adviser / Administrator for a 16 mth contract covering maternity. When I applied i was still studying my Level 5 and only recently passed this in Dec 2019.
