Hi all.
I have been studying CIPD Level 3 in HR since February. My job is not related in any way with HR and don't have much administrative experience. I volunteer as an administrator. I have been looking for an HR position and apply wherever I think I would be suitable but still no one has cobtacted me. To be honest, I am already desperate and wonder if this Diploma would help me finding a job. Do you think that I need to have more administrative experience and is the voluntary work enough? Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
The experience is valuable. During my studies I also did volunteering which boosted the prospects back then. Keep pushing yourself and at some point something else will come out. It takes time to build portfolio & experience so that you could then sell yourself. Take on or initiate different projects step by step. If you would like to get a mentor, you could apply for the Step Ahead Mentoring Scheme where you could have one to one discussion with another CIPD HR focused individual.
