Five For Two Careers

EP 174. How I got into Human Resources without qualifications or experience


Listen Later

Sometimes the people getting opportunities aren’t the most qualified on paper they’re the people who know how to sell what they already have.  

You might think you need a HR degree, CIPD qualification or years of experience before anyone will give you a chance in Human Resources.

That wasn’t my story. Instead I did it with zero experience or qualifications and 17 years later I'm still here.

If you’re trying to move into HR, corporate or a completely different industry and feel stuck because you don’t have the right background, this episode is for you.

I break down exactly how I went from teaching into HR without traditional experience and what I focused on to make employers see me differently...

  • Gateway Jobs that can help you break into HR
  • What research helped me the most
  • Why transferable skills matter and how to actually connect them
  • How I positioned my teaching experience for corporate roles
  • Why confidence matters just as much as qualifications
  • How to fail fast (the interview that made me cry but ultimately got me a job)
  • The reality of pivoting careers in a competitive job market

You can also connect with me on LinkedIn and Instagram for more career strategy, salary growth and corporate transition content.
