I’m looking to explore the Human Resources field. Currently I’m a marketing communications specialist at a university. I love the people I work with and the community here – but, I feel like something is missing in my work.

I really enjoy my role, but I’ve had this feeling that despite my best efforts I don’t “click” with marketing as much as I thought I would (5 years experience in the field).

Does anyone have tips for switching fields? Or is anyone willing to chat? Thanks in advance!

I have had the same amount of experience and the same feeling. I started taking HR post graduate courses and love the courses so far, and it certainly clicks with me more than sales and marketing. I suggest that you give it a go and see how you feel about it.

Any tips would be great

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well! Currently I’m trying to help a friend in finding a job in Dubai (HR role). Please let me know if you can refer him. Thanks a lot!

My small company was bought out by a corporation. During the acquisition process, the new HR team wants to demote my title from “manager” to “specialist” due to their company requirements. I declined the offer and they changed the offer to grandfather my title in but are still evaluating my salary based on a specialist role. My supervisor (a VP) and our President disagree with this choice but are making no headway with the new HR team. What can we do?
