Use your networks, try and get some kind of contact, make contact with that organisation and offer your services &#8211; maybe free of charge for a period of time. The other thing that you can do is apply through an internship programme. The SETAs have a list of all the internships that are available, and if you qualify, and if you\u2019re fortunate enough, put your name on that list, and go through the application to become an intern within an organisation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hear from John Wilter, Head Tutor for the UCT Human Resource Management online course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":17511,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[123],"article-format":[],"class_list":["post-736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-career-advice","tag-talent-management"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How To Get A Job In HR Without Experience? | FAQs - GetSmarter Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are you interested in a job in HR, but don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re hireable because of a lack of experience?
