Hi,

I would like to find out more about how one could embark on a midlife career change to become an HR professional without any relevant HR or coaching experience. Currently, I am working in a clinical department and, at the same time, pursuing an HR course on a part-time basis.

Thank you.

Regards,

Hi PL,

It is good that you are taking an HR course if you intend to switch your career path. Another important aspect is finding a good employer who is able to provide you with the opportunity to work while allowing you to apply your knowledge and skills to your new career.

Good luck to you.

My suggestion would be to focus on a dedicated career change. Instead of doing part-time HR and transitioning to HR profession is not encouraged. You need to pursue a full-time HR degree and then seek an entry-level job in HR.

Mr./Mrs./Ms. PL, could you please share your total work experience and education details and why you want to pursue HR? One of the most important factors for success in this field is interest, which also serves as motivation to learn as much as one can.

The information you provide will enable members to offer you more precise and appropriate suggestions so that you can achieve what you intend to do.

Dear Mr./Ms./Mrs. AK Arora,

I apologize for the delayed response. My work experience includes training, education, research support, project coordination, event organization, planning, and some department HR matters related to doctors' promotions, performance appraisals, and 360 Assessment Exercises in the healthcare industry for the past 12 years. I have obtained a Graduate Diploma in HR with SHRI and an MBA. As the department has a very limited scope of HR work, I sincerely wish to expand my keen interest to become a full-time HR professional. Therefore, I enrolled myself with HCS to pursue my professional diploma in HRM and HRD to compensate for my lacking HR competencies and knowledge. To date, I have already completed one professional diploma in HRM.

I am interested in specializing in recruitment, selection, and talent management as an HR professional in the near future.

Thank you.

Best regards,
