Change of Career

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

  • Hi Stephanie,you’re in a strong position with your CIPD and HR-related experience. Entry-level HR roles or apprenticeships are a good start, and age is rarely a barrier—employers often value your experience. Make sure your CV highlights HR tasks clearly.
