Find your next part-time HR job

Searching for your next job needn’t be a chore – if you know where to look you should be able to apply for roles and then land interviews in no time at all.

Looking for part-time work is similar to looking for full-time work – it’s actually the exact same process, it’s just that your search will be more refined. If you’ve found yourself googling “part-time HR jobs in London” but aren’t getting the right results, here's how you can use a few tricks to find roles in desirable companies with opportunities for you to forge a successful career.

Set up job alerts

All the major job search websites have customisable functions so you can get relevant jobs sent straight to your inbox on a daily basis – all you need to do is set up a relevant search, then once you’ve got your results, sign up and modify your preferences so that you’re updated in a timeframe that suits you.

Input your postcode for refined results and include a distance you are willing to travel. This is important if you are relying on public transport or if you live in a rural area and want a local job.

You can also refine your search by your salary expectations and the sector you want to work in. Doing all of this will save you time so you don’t have to go through the same process every day – leaving you more time to focus on creating a killer CV.

Make the most of LinkedIn

You can use LinkedIn for numerous things: seeing what already-successful professionals include on their resume and taking inspiration from it, connecting with current and prospective employers, and getting daily job updates.

You can set up several types of alert to go straight to your personal inbox and keep all bases covered, whether you’re looking for a few different types of job or are interested in moving to a new area of the country.

LinkedIn is also a great platform to show off your expertise in your field. By using the publishing feature you can demonstrate that you’re clued up to current goings on in HR and that you’re able to articulate your ideas clearly.

Use all social channels

As well as LinkedIn you should capitalise on the fact that plenty of companies and recruitment agencies use social media to advertise vacancies. Twitter is the main place to go – take a look at the Portfolio CBR Twitter for the latest roles specific to the sector.
