Advice

Hi everyone

I have worked in hospitality as a general manager for over 10 years now and always had a passion for HR, so much so that I was usually the go to for areas of ER. I completed my level 5 in 2018 and I a few weeks I will be starting my Level 7

I am looking to move into HR as a career and wondered if anyone had any advice on how to get my foot in the door? I am watching the CIPD webinars, applying for hundreds of HR jobs and even had my CV reviewed by a professional. There may be opportunities in my current company but there’s is nothing yet and I don’t know how long this may take.

Doew anyone have any words of wisdom?

Thanks

Andy

  • You're almost there Andy, just keep going mate, eventually all the pieces will fall into place, at least that's what happened with me! Maybe try offering your HR services pro-bono to a local charity and pad out your c.v. a bit. Getting involved with the CIPD at the local level will help with networking and might help with your level 7 studies. Perhaps also send a speculative c.v. to smaller HR consultancies that provide services for the hospitality sector at the smaller end of the scale, try looking for them in your local small business directory. But don't give up and all the best.
