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.

  • Hi Elouise, I can much agree with Robey's recommendation, it is always welcomed to enter HR world with strong Business Savvy, having educational business background will enable you to better understand staff needs and issues within educational field thus provide them the proper support as well as better Manpower forecasting and partnering the business. Thus focus your search in Educational sectors (public or private) and emphasize the value you can offer as an HR with Educational background.
