Hello everyone,

My name is Natalia and I am currently working full-time as a Receptionist. I recently completed my CIPD Level 5 in HRM from ICS Learn and I am waiting for it to arrive :)

I would really like to work in HR, but I am struggling so much when it comes to job applications. Employers are hesitant that I don't have an 'HR-related title' in my CV, although I have extensive customer service and administration experience, as well as a BSc and MSc in Psychology and Mental Health respectively. 

I would ideally like to specialise in ER and Employment Law later, but for now I would start from a generalist and entry-level position. Although not the best and most viable option for me, I am also willing to do voluntary work as I am really keen on entering the HR world! I am based in West London (Earl's Court) and am willing to travel up to an hour for work. I can also work weekends or handle part-time work on my own if needed. 

If anyone of you knows an employer looking for someone like me, or where can I find job opportunities (apart from the job boards I check all day), it would be great if you could advise/let me know.

Wishing you a great day!
