Good afternoon all,
I am looking for a bit of advice. I currently work in a role that is not 100% HR, but as part of my role, I deal with a lot of recruitment, onboarding, inductions, learning & development, wellbeing, drafting and approving contracts, involvement in restructures and redundancies, exit interviews etc etc. I would like to move to a sole HR function role (which I cannot do in the company I currently work for) where I can progress my career following completion of my level 7 CIPD qualification that I am currently undertaking and have therefore been applying for new employment for the last few months. However, I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I am applying via Indeed, total jobs, personnel today jobs, Hays etc. I either do not hear anything back (which is the most common) or I am just rejected. I have asked for feedback - some have said my experience does not meet the requirements for the job, but everything on the JD is what is listed on my CV/what I do in my current and past roles. I have sought advice on my CV to ensure I am capturing everything I should be and have been told by numerous people that it is fine. I have worked through the CIPD Career Hub, I have followed up on some of the applications I have applied for, but nothing of any substance is every communicated. I work full time in London and therefore cannot seek any voluntary positions, as I simply do not have enough time with work and studying. I am looking at either HR Advisor, HR Generalist or HR Manger roles. I have managed teams/direct reports in the past. Any advice would be gratefully received as I am feeling somewhat deflated. Thank you in advance.
