Starting from scratch after being made redundant

Rachel

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

  • Very sorry to hear of your situation! It's always horrible to think about the human cost of businesses failing.

    You have probably already done this, but I'd suggest making a list of everything HR-related that you have done, sounds like you have a great generalist level of base knowledge and the policies *& procedures element looks really valuable along with holding the L3.

    I even wonder if you might be right for Experience Assessment for Assoc CIPD. Well worth a look.

    Strangely enough I am just in the process of recruiting for another HR Administrator for my team after the resignation of a long-served member of staff. If someone's CV arrived on my desk with your profile I'd certainly want to have a chat...
