#55: The Big Problem - A Sneak Peek into the HRCA Program

In today’s episode, I have a special treat for you. Today what you will hear on the podcast is a sneak peek into my HR Career Accelerator program. This program is a six-module online course designed to take you from an HR job seeker to an HR job offer, which is a journey I know so many of you are already on. The good news is registration is opening soon (July 2022)! Today I am sharing an audio version of one of the video lessons from the beginning of the program called The “Big” Problem. In this lesson of the course, I share what I believe are the biggest challenges to landing that first HR role. Summary of this episode: The big problem with finding your first HR role can be broken down into four smaller problems. Problem 1 - There are no HR departments that look exactly alike Problem 2 - Most HR roles require some level of experience Problem 3 - The profession lacks an articling, internship or ‘common’ career path Problem 4 - HR is a broad profession with lots of possible career paths If you want to move from an HR job seeker to an HR job offer, sign up for The HR Career Accelerator Program. If you are signed up for the newsletter you’ll be the first to know when registration opens. And if the program is not right for you, use this information to help you tailor your job search and create your own personal internship or experience career path.
