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

  • Hello all, me again! I have a job interview tomorrow with the NHS doing data auditing. It's not directly linked with any of my HR experience but I have a history working in NHS admin and it's good hours to work around childcare (the frustration at the lack of part time opportunities for working parents when you have to fix your nursery days for government funding is another matter!) so fingers crossed. If nothing else it's all good experience!
  • Truly hope you get this or another opportunity that works for you Rachel. All the best for the what next/ next step in your career.
