Advice

Andrew

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

    I started out same as you GM in hospitality but my interest was always HR. After 12 years i took the plunge and after about a year of interviews i got an HR position. I did have to take quite a large paycut as my first role was as HR Administrator, but I was the only HR person in a growing company and it was a great learning curve. To get more experience i took on temp contracts with different companies and in different fields. I realise that I am most at home in manufacturing and love the variety that brings.
    If you want something, dont give up but be prepared to come back down the ladder before you go up.
    Good Luck
