I have been a manager in the retail sector for 13 year. I have done a course in HR, so am an associate member, but would like to make the jump to work in HR.
What would you recommend is the best way to make this career move? If more training, which course would be best?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Rebecca, I was in the same situation as yourself and found it quite difficult to secure a hr role due to this, even though we as retail managers are dealing with a range of different hr issues daily. I would suggest doing some volunteering within a HR department. Marie Curie are very supportive if you have a local office near you, I volunteered for six months there and found that when I added this to my CV I was given more interview opportunities.
