    2. why aren't you applying for jobs requiring Phys/Maths/Electronics?

    My answer would be.

    My Science degree will help me measure, calibrate, and analyse; some skills that every HR needs and my previous job experience gave me an insight into my ability to be interactive, motivational and a good coordinator and above all a friendly attitude and good listener.
    This is the reason I want to be in HR and took my first step towards it by enrolling myself into C IV in Human Resources where I start from the basics and hope to achieve a lot in future by combining my abilities, my education and experience.

    Hey pallavi, why don't you try to take an internship in HR or work for free for the start, to make you way into the industry?

    In fact we are almost in the same boat, but me is yet to arrive in Sydney.

    Try with what i said maybe after 2-3 months of same you will get lucky.
    Usually it does work when you can show in your CV any local experience, even unpaid.

    Hope it gonna help.

    My only advice is deal directly with employers whenever you can. Don't rely on recruitment firms to do it for you.

    There are a lot of reasons why people can't get into HR. But, I agree there is discrimination in a few areas. Age and nationality apply is a barrier to Australian employment generally, not just HR. Also, I think there is a tendency to employee females for entry level HR positions because the work is administrative and there is a tendency to sterio-type females into people-oriented roles. This is naive and wrong.

    I have 15 years experience in HR, I am Aussie, but I miss out on the job opportunities I want, too. At the end of the day, I have had to settle for tedious HR generalist roles that no longer hold any appeal. But the recruiters don't care about my feelings. They are just happy they can put forward a candidate that has broad and senior experience. I can't move sideways or out - all they see is what I've done before - not what I can do in the future or what motivates my career now.

    So be careful what you wish for - you could end up dieing there!

    If you've no experience - do some work experience. It may be your only way to get some on the job experience, and it shows potential employers that you're keen and have the get up and go.....

    hi Pallavi,

    I am new to Perth as well and am looking out for some inputs from people who have been trying to get into the HR field. I have worked in the Training and Development field in India and hope to continue my career in the same filed here. However, the responses have not been great owing to lack of local experience. I am planning to complete a certification IV in Training and Assessment here. I am overwhelmed with the options of training institutions available and the modes of delivery. I am confused between taking up the course online or through blended delivery. Since, you have completed a certification, can you please share your insights on this?
