Any advice?
I’m relocating to the Houston Tx. area and have been looking for Hr generalist jobs. I’ve been applying for a few weeks now for positions ranging from entry lvl to senior lvl and have yet to get an interview or a follow up. I have about 2.5 - 3yrs of progressive experience in talent acquisition, employee relations/development/engagement, and compensation. Anyone has advice or job leads and contacts? Wondering if I’m being impatient and this is a standard timeline? 🤔

I'm getting emails daily from recruiters with available roles in Houston, and I don't even live there anymore. You may be getting caught up in ATS filters if you don't currently have a Houston address .

What does the facilities supervisor part of your role come in? What industry are you in? I wonder if companies aren't making a connection better what you do and their company/position.
I recently met with someone who was getting rejected for every recruiter role despite having 2 years experience. But her title was some generic program coordinator role that no one would see as recruitment. With a few tweaks, she was able to get recruiter interviews.

I work at a smaller nonprofit organization with 35 employees. I had been doing solely HR Generalist work until the beginning of this year. My company added on the responsibilities of a Facilities Supervisor to my HR role. So I am essentially an HR Generalist who also manages a facilities maintenance team. I fear that my title discourages recruiters and they may overlook my resume because of the facilities portion of my job, but that’s my title.

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting since joining this platform. I’m interested in connecting with someone who is open to HR mentoring. I’ve been in HR now for about six years and have never had a mentor. I’ve been relying mostly on SHRM and other people in the company for feedback. Even if it’s for feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
