My lunch time thoughts on your linkedIn  profile - all just my thoughts on first viewing

• There appears to be a gap from 2016 to now in work history
  
  
• Your two previous roles appear to be unconnected or linked to HR (they also appear quite different to each other)
• Lack of results / achievements (typical in many profiles) What difference did you make ? What added value?
  
  
• You appear highly qualified in HR with a first degree and an MBA but have never used it despite qualifications being 13 years ago - why? Might confuse many
  
  
• You have a first degree in HR and an MBA specializing in HR but are now doing a L 5 - this seems confusing
  
  
• What level role would I pitch you at? Too qualified for entry , lack of experience for middle roles
  
  
• Saying you are a people person is likely to turn off more recruiters than it appeals to (IMO)
  
  
• The skills you highlight (negotiating and managing) are unlikely to be those entry level roles require - again this might confuse recruiters
  
  
• I dont get a sense from profile about what HR role you think you would be suitable for or what you are really looking for
  
  
• Nothing really jumps out or grabs me as a compelling narrative or story. Its just not memorable

All above would, in a competitive market place, probably lead me to say interesting but other more close candidates for this role 

Hi Keith,

You are right it is confusing that why Iam not sure what to do?

My 1st career role was in  Relationship Management as campus placement (Took a wrong decision as it was highly paying still regret for that decision) and before I could understand it was my career.

Took a break during 1st pregnancy  accompanied with serious illness. After recovering got second job, which was similar to 1st one but in different sector(both were sales and client relationship management profile). In 2016 I took another break again when we came to UK. Planned for 2nd kid in between.

In 2019 I wanted to start working and was getting calls for BDM profile but this time I didn’t wanted to work in sales. I wanted to work in the area I always loved. I was ready to do anything it took to get back in HR. My 1st step was to get degree comparison from NARIC and it was equivalent to UK degree. Then applied for many role be it admin or entry level HR but no success and most of HR roles were asking for CIPD qualification. I called to enroll my self they suggested CIPD Level 5 would be suitable for me and I did that. Frankly CIPD certification gave greater perspective and in-depth knowledge of latest trends, right attitude for CPD.

I mentioned about negotiation skills in CV as it was my daily job to negotiate with CXOs for ERP solutions on price and features and help them through out change management process and in my 1st job I was managing 27 people and I over achieved my targets for 2 consecutive years, I was nominated as best sales person in my organisation(out of 10000 employees). In that role my contribution was no sales trick it was managing internal team. I introduced many employee engagement initiatives other ROI initiatives which helped my branch to excel.

I don’t know what to do with being over qualified issue, I will happy to take entry level role in HR or even will be happy to do volunteer work in this field.

And yes the people person thing is definitely going out of my profile.

 Special thanks for reviewing my CV.
