My background is in Healthcare Management and Operations who assists in training and employee conflict & resolution. My career long term goal is to fully transition into Human Resources and am open to entry level positions but companies are looking for years experience solely in HR. Any tips or suggestions is appreciated.

It's tough transitioning industries right now. I would encourage you to have a lot of really great keywords in your résumé that speak to your transferable skills, and a cover letter explaining why you want to make the transition to HR. Hopefully that should help!

Thank you, I have updated my resume with HR transferable skills as my keywords, Hopefully I get a few hits.

Thank you again!

Leverage the experience you already have and how that should fill some of the years of experience that roles are looking for. Nonprofits and volunteer organizations can be a good way to get some HR specific experience.

Thank you for your response, I am thinking about getting more information in contracting/consulting focusing in HR.

Right now is a particularly tough time - but contracts in: Learning and Development, Conflict Management, Manager Coaching or Process Improvement from an ops perspective might get you in the door somewhere.

I left sales into a junior HR role, and it took a while but I'm now in a senior benefits roles and have gotten a lot of experience. My big sell was being able to learn, highlighting all my transferable skills and having a people-first attitude.

Health tech is big right now, and I know a lot of companies are looking for Benefits, L&D, or Training/Conflict Management professionals. The other options is doing consulting work based on your skills but focused in HR, to gain experience.

If all else fails, network with HR people - they always have an in on job openings and it's amazing who know who; and how they can get you connected to the right people!

Good luck! :)

Of course - more than happy to help :) you got this!!

Do you have any good habits or routines you found impactful in improving your health?

I started doing 20 min/day running first thing in the morning. I used to run a lot but havent at all in a few years. I'm on my 2nd week and I plan to keep it up for a while. Eventually Id like to add a few lifts or some yoga in during the week but I need a program otherwise it ends up sporadic, which makes it more inefficient and easier to skip (time constraints)

Figured id crowdsource for other good habits.

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.
