Old dog, new tricks

Jason

As a 50 year old male, I am looking for some new challenges and considering a big career change.

My current career isn't hitting the buttons anymore and I keep coming back to the idea of working in HR when considering my next steps. 

I appreciate It's a big leap, which will require re-training etc, but I'd like to honestly understand if there is a space in this area for a person of my demographic.

Any frank and honest thoughts?

  • It's always good to have a mix of backgrounds and experience in an HR team. Business acumen, change management and digital skills are all useful.

    I'd suggest you take a good look at the Profession Map and see how your current skills and behaviours stack up. Then have a close look at all the specialist knowledge areas to see which is most in tune with the skills you can bring from your previous career and want to develop in the future.
