Career change to a HR role

Emily Miller

Hello!

I am looking to make a career change into a HR role and would love to ask some advice?

I have a retail background (currently a supervisor in luxury sales), so although I do not have any direct experience, I do fulfil perform team leader and performance assesment activities within my team. I have been in this industry for three years and have recognised that the aspects of my job I find the most fulfilling are the 'people' parts. This has lead me to pursue this change. As I am currently lacking in HR experience I am self funding my level 3 diploma in HR, which I am working through in my own time.

I wondered if anyone could offer any advice to a new starter on how to make the transition into the profession? From my own research a lot of roles, even the entry level admin assistant positions are asking for previous experience ( which I sadly lack).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, 

Many thanks,

Emily

  • Hello Emily,
    This is really a problem when you are looking for a job. I remember I'v faced with that when I had finished university. And you need to find a job but everyone want you to have an experience in that. But of course, where to find it after university? The same situation is when you'v decided to find a new job, I mean in other sphere and you don't have enough experience. I think in your situation, may be you can find a place where they have not so high demands to office-seeker, to get some practice there and then to find a place what you really what? Of course, you need to wait a little bit but after this you will have experience, education in this sphere and a good job)
    The most important - don't give up
