Hi all, looking to career pivot from retail to talent acquisition/recruiting. Trying to make myself stand out to make up for my lack of experience. Some roles I am interested in prefer PHR or SHRM certifications. Would it be worth it to pursue a certification to land a position? Thank you

Have you connected with any recruiters looking for entry level recruiters? I recommend you do so! Follow Adam Karpiak on LinkedIn. He’a a recruiter who genuinely wants to help people. Adam is also a career coach. He hosts “Job Board Tuesdays”, a weekly thread meant to connect recruiters and jobseekers. I have seen recruiters looking for recruiters in these threads in the past. Worth scrolling and finding old ones and connecting with those who have posted! Hope this helps!

I am not certified in either of those but I’m looking to see if I choose one as well. I was in your shoes not very long ago but I had already dappled in TA/recruiting so I had that on my side. Companies want to see the experience rather than those certifications if you’re looking to break into TA. See if you can somehow get some experience recruiting where you’re at now first.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.
