Episode Description
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.
