Show Notes

Are you a graduate who is trying to get that first HR job? Then this is the podcast episode for you!

On today's episode I'm joined by Lauren Bentley who graduated with a HR degree in the summer of 2019.

Lauren felt pushed down the graduate scheme route by her university but her gut instinct told her that wasn't the route she should take. Instead, she did something very different and put up a post on LinkedIn asking for help. You know what, it worked and she had an interview a few days later and was successful. She's now been working as a HR Administrator at for 18 months.

Lauren talks about not only her job search but also what life is like as a HR Administrator and what skills are needed to be successful in that type of role.

This is a great episode for someone currently studying or looking to secure that first HR role as Lauren shares plenty of insights that will be useful. I hope you enjoy listening.
