Job search advice, please

U20211028100519E0F5F

Good afternoon guys, I am quite new in this platform.

I just finished my Level 7 (MSC) and CPA training on HRM with an indept work placement on employment law some couple of months ago.

I have been on a voluntary internship programme with a charity organisation since November.

Getting a job in the HR field has been challenging. Though I am a freshman in the career, but I am highly passionate with a strong will to advance my career goals and contribute significantly in the work place.

I need your direction/assistance on getting an employment in this field. Thank you.

  • Welcome to the community and good luck on the hunt for work. I would say that getting your first opportunity in HR can be tricky especially with the market being a little unpredictable. The key is not to give up trying and also you have some good experience and learning to help show your commitment to the profession.

    I'd recommend joining communities on Linked In that have a people focus. The CIPD has a group there and there are also others too, which ones you join might depend on your interests.

    Contributing to conversations and posting on Linked In will help you be found.

    I'd also recommend:
    *Getting a cracking Linked In profile. There are lots of hints, tips and tricks blogs out there that can help.
    *Work on a range of CVs. Play around with formats, be clear on your experience and get some people you trust to review it for you.
    *Register with key job sites.
    *Check out company grad schemes. They might be a good way of getting into a new role.
    *Don't rule out researching companies you want to work for and applying directly.

    Maybe consider getting a mentor who can help you. Wishing you all the best with it.
