Dear Seniors,
I am writing here to seek advice on the route I am taking to obtain a job opportunity in the field of Human Resource Management. I would like to start by giving a brief about me - I have 9 years of experience working with an internet company where my role was to support recruiters in finding the right talent. I already have a Masters degree with a specialization in HRM.
Now, as I decided to find a full-time job as an HR professional, I find it ironic to not be able to get myself hired.
I do not feel that this is like a career change because I have experience in the talent acquisition process as I was supporting corporate HRs in their hiring throughout the last 9 years.
I have been regularly applying for jobs on different portals and career sites but till now nothing fruitful has come my way. I feel that I might be missing out on something but I am not able to understand where am I lacking.
I would be truly thankful if you could guide me on how I can further refine my skills and knowledge to achieve the job I seek.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

You have had only limited exposure, it looks like, basically in recruitment & allied areas in IT Sector. This is only very limited exposure. As you have been through HRM course, you lack exposure to other areas like Training & Development, wage & salary administration, legal compliances, Grievance management, IR, Welfare, incentive & motivational schemes etc., etc. Try to get updates in these areas as you have the required basic understanding.
The industries are only recovering from the pandemic caused recession. As the economy grows more and more opportunities will come. Don't be upset at the set back you are experiencing now. Did you have a career break?
