4 Getting back into HR

2 Feb, 2018 13:30

Hi Everyone,

Wondering if someone can help. I have CIPD Level 5 certificate and will soon upgrade it to a Diploma. I have worked as an HR Administrator in 2015 on a contract for 2 months. Took a break since then to complete my Level 5 and also took HR Administrator/Assistant course with CIPD just 4 months ago just so I could gain the latest insights of the profession.

I have since then struggled to find work. I have gone to a few interviews but no job offer which is really disheartening as well as frustrating. Does anyone know what I can do to increase my chances of getting hired? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Hi Patricia, welcome to the communities and sorry to learn about your frustrations. I feel your pain! I can't offer anything myself but I wondered if you had looked at the Career Resources section of this very website. This link is particularly relevant to your situation but the Learn Develop and Connect section overall has lots of other useful resources: www.cipd.co.uk/.../career
Good lucki!

Hi Patricia, have you spoken to your local branch. They may have resources or help for you locally. I'm sure I recalled that my local branch offers some help.

Good luck, I hope you find something soon.
