Hey everyone,
Just signed up on here looking for advice on how to begin my HR career. I have a Bachelor of Commerce (Economics/Marketing) and am in my final semester of my Master of Human Resources. I started my Masters pretty much straight after my Bachelors so I do not have any experience in HR (besides a month or two of work experience at a very small recruitment agency). I have a lot of customer service experience and am currently working casual as a salesperson.
Anyway, I am beginning to look for work in the HR field but I am not sure how I should go about doing so. To be honest I am unsure of what particular field in HR I would like to pursue so I guess my best option would be to begin in a general HR role. Would it be advisable to try and apply as a recruitment consultant? I have looked on Seek and many HR roles require previous HR experience however a lot of recruitment consultant positions require sales experience which I have. The other option I thought would be to apply for HR administrative positions first and work my way up?
Any help would be appreciated. I am in Perth if that is of any importance.
Thanks :)
