I am looking at transitioning from truck driving to either HR or Operations. I have a BS in Business and over 40 certifications for Human Resources, Supply Chain and Operations. I also have management experience. I am willing to relocate and I have applied to numerous positions with no luck. Any advice? Thank you

Entry level HR is going through a complete upheaval currently which may explain the difficulty. Operations is a good choice but very broad in scope. Try and narrow down the type of role within operations. Logistics seems to be in your wheelhouse.

If you are okay with it, I would look into applying for HR roles within the transportation and logistics industry to get your foot in the door. Since you have been a CDL driver you know what employees of those companies do and the politics that are in that industry. YOU GOT THIS! Highly recommend tailoring your resume to tell a story about where you’ve been, where you are now and most importantly where you want to be.

Another question… operations and HR are similar in a-lot of ways, but very different. What do you like about HR what made you go to school for the degree and to get this certification?
