Move to HRM career advice

Hello fellow CIPD community members, 

I am due to leave the Royal Navy with level 5 qualifications in Leadership, Management, Coaching and Mentoring and CIPD HRM. 

My aspiration is to move into a HR management or assistant manager role in the Hampshire area. 

I have not worked in a HR job as such, but since 2005 I have worked in a comparable role with numerous transferable skills.  Including several large project management roles. 

I have a profile on Linked In, and i am building a network of HR professionals and recruitment professionals, but I am seeking any advice that would assist in my transition into a HR Management role? 

I would certainly consider commuting for the right salary as I have commuted an hour to work each day for 17 years, but preferably I would like to seek employment around Andover, Basingstoke, Winchester, Southampton or Salisbury. 

Thanks in advance,

Gareth.

  • I am considering whether I am best placed applying for HRM generalist roles or to seek employee relations / engagement roles in a bigger company as that is where I would most certainly specialise and have transferable skills with 10 years experience. Any thoughts from those in the know on here? Sadly I have to be salary driven to meet mortgage needs, so I don't feel it would be sustainable to start at the bottom in HR, but I am confident that I have a lot to offer either role. And I am passionate in HR practising what it preaches regarding putting people first, and not just being the ones that sort payroll and staff issues.
