Breaking into HR from the restaurant/hospitality industry

Judy Pei Ki

Can anyone give me any advice?

I've just completed my CIPD L5 Intermediate Certificate and currently on the job hunt to break into HR (entry level). My background history is mainly hospitality with my most recent position as a restaurant owner (3 years) and other previous positions as bar managers (4 years). 

I've been applying for entry level hr and admin roles but I'm having trouble even getting a reply or securing an interview. I feel that with my previous work experience I have plenty of transferable skills but unfortunately it's not reflecting on my job applications. 

I'd really appreciate any help I can get. 

Thank you!

  • I am in a similar position.
    I have 9 years working for the NHS as a specialist Neuro Therapy assistant and I am due to complete my Level 3 in November. I have applied to so many roles, I have lost count but I don't hear back from any of them.
    I am making the career change to finally find my career path and can honestly say I have loved my studies and found the field I am looking for.

    My last job hunting experience was 9 years ago, a lot has changed and feel I am out of touch with how the recruitment world works!

    I feel i have plenty of transferable skills to transition into HR, however struggle to showcase these.

    Any advice would be appreciated!
