I completed a Degree in Labour Relations and a Masters in Occupational Health and Safety in Spain.Similarly, I have three years experience as a Labour Relations Consultant in Spain. My problem is that I can find H.R. Assistant position or even an admin job in the U.K. because I do not have experience in this country. I was wondering if taking a Masters in H.R. Management is going to help me to find a job as it is not a decision to be taking lightly since they are very costly.I would appreciate any assistance that you might be able to give me.Kind regards,Nuria Reply to this Question |
Fancy yourself as an career advisor?

It sounds like you've already got the right academic qualifications, though maybe you need to look at the post-graduate course (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) to focus on UK legislation and employee relations.
Perhaps a careers advisor can help you look at your CV in case the terminology is turning off potential employers?
Good luck! x

 You are definitely going in the right direction seeking more education, a masters or a CIPD Qualification will definitely benefit you in seeking a career in HR. Look around for internships or work placements and use the college or uni that you are going to for a source of opportunity...surely they have a careers guidance person that can steer you in the right direction. Keep looking, whats meant for you doesn't pass you by (unless you let it!) BEST OF LUCK
