Starting from scratch after being made redundant

Hi Everyone

At the beginning of September I, and everyone else in the business, was made redundant due to the company going into administration. The problem I have is I don't feel like I've got enough experience to apply for any HR jobs anywhere else. I have my CIPD Level 3 and was labelled as HR at the company but it was an SME with only 13 employees so my job was mostly other admin tasks and general employee HR when needed, along with creating/updating policies and procedures. Even though I was there for 5 and a half years I don't feel like it gave me enough experience to actually get a foot in the door in HR anywhere else. I just wondered if anyone had any advice for basically starting from scratch?

Thanks

  • I am sorry to hear you lost your job but I suspect you know significantly more about HR than you think you do. Working in a small business is not easy and certainly not for everyone but you did it for years, that is a lot of value you can offer your next employer.
