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.
