I recently stepped away from my position overseeing HR operations at a midsize company (>300 staff). After numerous executive level changes and the departure of our HR VP I was promoted to a role I didn’t particularly want. After managing through it for a year and a half I decided to step down. I’m beginning to look for new opportunities and curious for any tips on getting interviews with larger size companies… Any insider insight? Directly applying has such a small chance of being noticed..

I work for a larger company and the only difference I found in the interview process was that there were a couple additional rounds, since there were more people involved in the hiring decision. Once you have a few companies in mind, you should be able to Google them to see if there are any specific interview prep tips (check YouTube as well). As far as leads, I'd probably post this in the referrals bowls as well. Hopefully you'll be able to get some traction there.

Sounds like you’re very ripe for a great opportunity! First thing, please be active and ensure your LI profile is updated. Please connect with individual in those roles or recruiters at bigger companies to get your name referred as a strong candidate after applying. Secondly, leverage a headhunter to offer you leads and to send your resume/interest of their behalf for you. You shouldn’t have issues getting back into retail industry, roles are dime a dozen and plenty in PNW geography. I’d also say to put your LI as open to work and share it out broadly with your network of what you’re looking for and you’d be surprised how everyone will share and like your profile to get a far reach. Best of luck!
