All the skills, no opportunities!

Elouise

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

  • It’s one of those harsh realities of life and the adult world. If you can’t get a job, you can’t get a job. It’s always a collective management decision who they decide to employ or indeed reject. I don’t however agree with the advice on taking fixed term contracts, as if you have a monthly mortgage to pay and are not very lucky in immediately lining up a new permanent role, you find yourself out of work and turning up at JobCentre Plus to sign on.

    It’s also another gap and role on your CV that wrongly gives the impression of being a short term job hopper.

    Can you try in another town, city or region of the country if you can’t get work where you live?
