Argo,
If you haven't done so already you should identify what you no longer like about
HR and make sure you don't jump from the frying pan into the fire, so to speak.
Of course it goes without saying that you should work out what you
do like doing and how much you want or need to earn.
There are a couple of obvious options that come to mind - Recruitment (agency/commercial), or Career Counselling (often self employed).
I have seen plenty of
HR people go into these, but that's not to say there aren't other careers that
HR people commonly transition to and I am sure there are other less obvious career options.
It's pretty easy to get a job in recruitment, but the initial challenge is finding a good company to work for who are not a "churn and burn" outfit and are going to invest in training you properly. Ultimately your success in the eyes of an agency will be how much you generate in recruitment fees and it is important to understand the employers expectations. It can be a rewarding career, both financially and from a personal aspect, but it's often a bit of a roller coaster ride from an emotional perspective, and it's definitely not recession proof!
I don't know enough about Career Counselling but hopefully other readers can provide some insight.
Both of these careers will include a sales or "business development" component so you would need to be sure that you are comfortable with that.
Are you sure it's
HR you no longer enjoy, or is it the types of organisations you have worked in?
