The best interviewee isn’t always the best candidate.

That was just one of the important conversations from our latest HR Voices webinar: What HR Interviews Really Look For.

Hosted by Natasia Hieber with guest speaker Georgina Kvassay, we explored what really happens on both sides of the interview table.

A few takeaways worth remembering:
👉 Show impact, not just responsibilities
👉 Prepare stories, not scripted answers
👉 Make your evidence easy for recruiters to find
👉 Use AI to prepare, but don’t let it replace your voice
👉 Confidence doesn’t always equal capability
👉 Good interviewing is the interviewer’s responsibility too

One piece of advice from Georgina particularly stood out:
“Prepare stories rather than answers.”

Because you can’t predict every interview question, but you can know your experience, your achievements and the evidence behind them.

A huge thank you to Georgina for sharing her expertise, Natasia for hosting, and everyone who joined us and brought such thoughtful questions.

Before you choose your next CIPD qualification, ask yourself one question: Where am I on my HR journey?

Professional development works best when you understand your starting point.

You might be building your foundations in HR or L&D.
You might already have experience and be ready to deepen your expertise and take on more responsibility.

Or you might be preparing to operate at a more strategic and senior level.

That’s where the different CIPD levels come in:

🎓 Level 3 | BUILD your foundation
🎓 Level 5 | PROGRESS your professional expertise
🎓 Level 7 | LEAD at a more strategic level

The goal isn’t simply to reach the highest level.

It’s about choosing the right level for where you are now, so your learning supports where you want to go next.

Not sure where you fit?

👉 Speak to the We-are-HR team, and we can help you understand which CIPD level could suit your experience and career goals.

Know where you are. Know where you want to go. Then take your next step.

Another CIPD Level 7 journey completed. 🎓

This learner chose our Self Paced route for their CIPD Level 7 in Strategic Learning & Development, giving them the flexibility to study around their own commitments while still having support throughout their journey.

They felt supported, stayed on track and remained connected to the latest CIPD content and changes along the way.

And the part we particularly loved?

“I would definitely go through another program with them when time comes.” 💙

Thank you for choosing We-are-HR and for sharing your experience with us.

“The digital applications are wonderful and quite innovative.”

This part of Nasir’s review particularly stood out to us.

Because studying for a professional qualification today shouldn’t mean choosing between great teaching and a great digital learning experience.

Learners need both.

👉 Expert tutors who can guide them.
👉 Technology that makes learning easier to access.
👉 And a learning experience designed around the realities of studying alongside work and life.

So it’s wonderful to hear Nasir describe his experience with We-are-HR as:

“Very professional… best teachers… digital applications are amazing and quite innovative.”

Thank you, Nasir, for taking the time to share your experience – and for recommending We-are-HR for CIPD studies.

Feedback like this reminds us why we keep investing in both the people and the technology behind our learner experience.

The interview question sounds simple.

“Tell me about a time you influenced a difficult stakeholder.”

You know you’ve done it.

You can picture the situation.
You remember the conversations.
You know the outcome.

But suddenly, explaining it clearly in an interview feels much harder than actually doing it.

And that’s where strong candidates can sometimes undersell themselves.

They give too much background.
They talk about what “we” achieved rather than what “I” contributed.
Or they’ve rehearsed an answer so many times that it no longer quite answers the question being asked.

Good interview preparation isn’t about memorising the perfect answer.

It’s about knowing your experience well enough to choose the right evidence, communicate your contribution, and demonstrate your impact.

That’s one of the areas we’ll be exploring at our next HR Voices webinar: What HR Interviews Really Look For.

We’ll be joined by Georgina Kvassay, Interview Coach and Trainer with 20+ years in recruitment, to look at CVs, competency interviews, LinkedIn, interview confidence – and recruitment from both sides of the interview table.

You’ve got the CIPD qualification. You’ve applied for the HR role. Your experience matches.

Then the email arrives:

“Unfortunately, on this occasion…”

Sound familiar?

Sometimes, the challenge isn’t whether you’re capable of doing the job.

It’s whether your CV, LinkedIn profile and interview answers are showing employers what you can actually bring to it.

For our September HR Voices webinar, we’re going behind the hiring process to explore:

→ CV mistakes that could be costing you opportunities
→ Interview mistakes even experienced candidates make
→ How to approach competency-based interviews
→ How to position your CIPD qualification on your CV
→ What recruiters and hiring managers notice on LinkedIn

Whether you're trying to land your first HR role, move into something more senior, or simply wondering why your applications aren't getting the response you expected, this conversation is for you.

📅 Thursday, 24 September
⏰ 6:30–7:30 PM BST
💻 Live Online

Because getting qualified is one part of the journey. Knowing how to position yourself is another.

“I’d like to study CIPD… I just don’t know where I’d find the time.”

It’s an understandable concern.

For many CIPD learners, studying isn’t the only thing happening in their lives.

There’s a full-time job.
Family commitments.
Deadlines.
A career already in progress.

So choosing a CIPD qualification isn’t only about deciding between Level 3, Level 5 or Level 7.

It’s also about asking:

How do I want to study?
How quickly do I want to progress?
How much support will I need along the way?

That’s why at We-are-HR, we offer different ways to study and different levels of support, from flexible Live Online learning to Fast-Track options.

Because professional development should be something you can build into your life, not something you have to put your life on hold for.

Management isn't only about leading the people who report to you.

Some of the most important conversations happen with senior leaders.

Good managers also need to know how to:

→ Challenge a decision constructively
→ Communicate what their team really needs
→ Influence without having final authority
→ Set realistic expectations with senior leaders
→ Turn operational insight into useful recommendations

Managing upwards isn't about agreeing with everything.

It's about building trust, communicating clearly, and having the confidence to contribute beyond your immediate responsibilities.

These capabilities become increasingly important as you progress into more senior management and leadership roles.

“I understand the topic… so why am I struggling to write the assignment?”

If you're studying CIPD, you've probably had this moment.

Knowing HR and demonstrating that knowledge in an assessment are two different skills.

Sometimes the challenge isn't what you know. It's learning how to:

→ Interpret what the assessment question is actually asking
→ Connect theory with workplace examples
→ Research from credible sources
→ Build a clear argument rather than simply describe
→ Reference your evidence properly
→ Stay within the word count (the painful one! 😅)

And these skills don't always come immediately.

They develop with practice, feedback, and support.

So if an assignment is taking longer than expected, don't automatically assume you're “bad at studying."

You may simply be learning how to think and write at a new professional level.

And if you have an assessment question you're stuck on, bring it along to our FREE Monthly CIPD Assessment Q&A Session.

🎓 Open to all CIPD learners, wherever you study.
💬 Ask your assessment questions live and get guidance from our experts.

Want to grow in HR? Don’t just collect experience; build it intentionally.

Here’s a simple step-by-step approach:

1. Get clear on your next role.
Don’t just say, “I want to progress.”
Ask: What role do I actually want next, HR Advisor, HRBP, L&D Manager, or People Manager?

2. Compare your current skills with that role.
Look at real job descriptions and identify the gaps.

Maybe you need stronger:
→ Employee relations knowledge
→ Data confidence
→ Commercial awareness
→ Coaching skills
→ Leadership experience
→ Strategic HR knowledge

3. Build evidence, not just knowledge
Volunteer for projects.
Support a difficult case.
Improve a process.
Present data.
Lead a small initiative.

Progression becomes easier when you can show what you’ve actually done.

4. Add structured professional development.
This is where qualifications such as CIPD can help.

A recognised qualification gives you the theory, professional framework and wider understanding to strengthen what you’re already learning through experience.

5. Learn how to communicate your value.
Your CV and LinkedIn profile should show outcomes, not just responsibilities.

Instead of:
“Supported recruitment.”
Try to write:
“Helped improve recruitment coordination and candidate communication across multiple vacancies.”

Imagine an HR Administrator who wants to become an HR Advisor.

They may already understand onboarding, absence, recruitment and employee records.

Their next step could be to:
→ Shadow ER cases
→ Build confidence with employment law
→ Take ownership of smaller employee issues
→ Complete a relevant CIPD qualification
→ Update their CV with measurable examples of impact

That is how career progression becomes more deliberate, rather than waiting for someone to notice you're ready.

Growth in HR rarely happens through one big move.
It happens through a series of intentional ones.
