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! It's good you're working on your diploma, that's a nice start! When I was switching my carrer from an electrician to an engineer I didn't have any diploma. Still, I work on Serbska Svaya and now I realize that it was an important step for me having a life I want to have.

    Hello,

    I have been working in HR but almost 2 years back I moved to Qatar from Pakistan. I worked for one of the private school here for an year but has to leave it for some reasons. but I have experience and knowledge in HR and currently enrolled in CIPD Level 7.
    But still I find it difficult to find a job specially in international organisations or MNCs.I checked for CIPD Apprenticeship but they are only available in UK.
    I really feel stuck I am willing to learn and work as an volunteer too with leading organisations.
    Please if someone can help
