All the skills, no opportunities!

I am looking to move out of the education sector and into the HR sector. 

I believed it would be simple, I have had the pleasure of being able to completely run a charity business as it was my own. I have strong HR generalist background, I have to write all contracts, staff handbooks, recruit, complete supervisions/appraisals/return to work, staff development, daily staff management, staff performance, forecasting and budgeting, including payroll and staff bonus'. I have a staff team of 17.

I am now completing CIPD Level 5 Human Resources Management at Chichester,

But I am really struggling finding my starting role within HR, feedback is generally, they [potential employers] can not see me in a staff team, after having strong management experience?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards

Elouise

  • Hi Elouise have you tried applying for interim posts? I worked as an interim for several years in order to gain wide experience quickly. It doesn't always work as they may be seeking specific skills but might be worth a try.I do know of managers who have " stepped down" in this way.
