Morning all
I am currently studying my Level 5 and was hoping to get a little advice or insight on how to better put myself across when applying for HR roles.
I work in the Hospitality industry and I am a senior General Manager with a great wealth of experience in HR especially over the past 10 years when I moved into more senior roles.
Has anyone here gone through a similar transition?
Thanks
Scott
Before getting into HR I worked in another industry for 10 years some of which was in a management role.
In my CV I focussed on my HR experience that I gained as a manager for example conducting investigations and performance management processes. Also I highlighted the transferable skills that I learnt as a manager.
However that being said in order to get into HR I had to start off as an HR Administrator as the feedback that I received from my HR Advisor applications was that it required direct HR experience. I look back and agree with that feedback as my time although short as an HR Administrator provided the HR foundations required for me to progress.
