Change of Career

Stephanie

Hello everyone,

I have recently obtained my level 3 CIPD Foundation Certificate in People Practice and am looking to move into pure HR career move. I have held some HR type roles in my previous job as a PA such as helping with recruitment and onboarding. I have been lucky enough to have had two HR job interviews but I was not successful. 

Does anyone have any tips about where to start? I don't mind starting at entry levels even getting on an apprenticeship scheme. Will my age be a factor? I know it shouldn't be but that is not always the reality. I still have a good 15 years until I reach retirement age. 

Thank you,

Stephanie

  • As someone who moved into pure HR from financial management, then general management with some HR reponsibilities I'd echo what Sharon said. Experience in business can be invaluable.

    We are supposed to be strategic partners, and the fact I can speak the language of income and expenditure accounts and the overall business picture has helped me be successful in getting the HR roles for which I have applied.
