So i recently left my role as a CPO and I’m finding it hard to find senior HR positions, the market seems so up and down right now!

I’m starting to get a little ancy and am worried that not working will affect my mental health… I’m just not used to this! Apart from speaking to head hunters, does anyone have any other tips or leads on sourcing a senior level role?

I would set a personal development goal—get a coaching certification, read 6 books on leadership, that kind of thing. Write an article and get it published in an HR magazine. High level jobs take a long time to obtain so be patient with yourself and the market. Lots of retirements on the horizon though so keep networking!!

Love this thank you

Hang in there! It seems like things will be better after the new year. Just try to stay active on LinkedIn and network with colleagues as much as you can.

It’s rough out there right now so good to prepare yourself that much won’t happen in Q4. Really hoping things improve in q1. You could use this time as an opportunity to do things you haven’t been a otherwise able to do: closet purging and other home duties, go for daily walks, do some exercise in the middle of the day, go to museums alone, read more books.

Absolutely and thank you

If you see a company you're interested in working for, don't be afraid to give them a call. Ask to speak to the HR manager or someone in the department you're interested in. Even if they don't have any open positions right now they may be able to keep you in mind for future openings.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
