Gaining HR experience and first role in HR

Posted by Bryan Robertson on November 2, 2020 at 5:11pm in Being An Effective Practitioner
Hello All,I have recently completed my CIPD level 5 in HR and ILM level 5 in Leadership and Management.I am now trying to gain advice on how to gain employment in HR part time or full time and would also consider temporary work too.Unpaid Work experience in HR is something I would also consider but would need to work round present commitments. Also how would you be best placed securing this? Any advice on this front? Which HR recruitment consultancies or other recruitment firms would be best to register if your based in the Edinburgh area? I am imagining the current climate will make into even more challenging to obtain my first paid role in HR at present.My background is as a duty manager, line manager, senior manager and business owner in sports, retail and food service industries which had given me 20 years experience as a manager with 9 years of it in a larger retailer where as a line manager and senior manager I had a lot of exposure to dealing with people management and HR within my roles such as recruitment and selection, performance management, people management, disclipnary and investigations etc which I am seeing especially now with completion of this course.Bryan
