Struggling to return to HR

Patricia James

Hi Everyone,

I'm really struggling along with many of you to return to HR.

I worked in the industry from 2007 - 2011 and then from 2013 -2014 and no matter how hard I try, I get the same responses' that 'they are worried I may struggle with the transition back in to HR' or 'I don't have enough experience' or they want someone with 'recent HR experience'.

I'm passionate about HR and would love to return but to be honest, I feel no one is willing to give me the chance, I have even applied for positions where you don't need HR experience as full training will be given but still hearing nothing back. 

I know HR is forever changing so I always keep up to date with this. I genuinely believe there are only so many knock backs a person can take!

Any advice is really appreciated.

  • Hi Patricia,

    As well as the great advice already given. mine would be to approach companies to enquire about doing some unpaid work experience within their HR depts. I've offered this to a friend looking to change career paths and it helped them get their foot in the door with no financial risk or headcount sign off from my organisation.
