First HR role - 6 month contract

Nikita

Hello!

I am looking for my first role in HR as I am coming from a finance background which I’ve worked in for about 4 years now since graduating. 
I have been offered a 6 month contract as a HR Administrator but am nervous about leaving a permanent role for a FTC for a short period of time and in a new industry. 

From your experience, is 6 months HR experience enough experience to outweigh the risks of a temporary role, in order to pursue this career path and get more HR roles after, or is it worth waiting for another opportunity for a longer time period or permanent role please?

I would be grateful for any advice!

  • I would say it depends how long you have been looking for a HR role and how badly you want to get into HR. 6-month contracts can run longer or lead to other things. It's a risk but as long as this is really what you want to do, and you can afford a gap at end of it then might be break into the industry you need.
