In April this year I obtained my CIPD L5 in HRM. I must have applied for over 150 HR Admin or assistant roles but keep getting rejected as I have no experience. I have many years as a team Manager where I would assist our HR teams with a whole host of HR admin duties alongside recruitment and selection, disciplinary hearings and absence management.
I am applying for entry level jobs as I do not expect a HR Management role. I want to start at the bottom and work my way up.
How can I do this when companies want experience? Surely you have to start somewhere!
Any help or advice or even an interview would be great.
I feel like I have wasted £3K of my money on something that may never happen. One HR manager who emailed me with a rejection said that my studying the CIPD qualification was a waste of my time and money.
I chose to study HR as it was something that i have been passionate about. I like helping people and nurturing their development and growth as an employee. It's deeply fulfilling.
