HR Trainee Positions

Lemlin

I've just qualified from Sligo IT with a degree in business & specialising in HR Management. Managed to get a distinction and I'm looking for employment now.

Just wondering if anyone knew of any companies or agencies looking for HR trainees?

Or had any advice on how I could get into the profession?

It's a very hard area to get into without both a qualification and experience.
You need to get yourself CIPD qualified, and then lash out as many CV's as possible.

As for work experience, I imagine it's very hard to get it, the HR deals with alot of sensitive infomation.

How can I go about obtaining a CIPD qualification?

OP, Suppose your best bet would be to talk to Adette or Madeline in the careers office in the college. I see your're in Dublin, you could give them a call. Im making an appointment to see them today

You're course was either CIPD approved or it wasn't, as far as I can see it wasn't. Unfortuanatley AFAIK it's basically a case of taking another course, it's possible that you may be able to just sit an exam, nut to be honest I hvae never heard of that been the case.

Heres a list of their approved courses.

Start at the bottom, work in a admin role and take it from there.

I don't work in HR myself, but am considering getting into it, perhaps there is somone else who is is better "qualified" to advise you.
