I recently finished a six-month maternity cover contract as a compensation and benefits officer. Prior to this, I worked as an HR administrator for 18 months. I'm looking for my next role in compensation and benefits. I have applied for roles and am getting interviews, but I am being told that, although I interview well, the role is too senior for my experience. Having only six months' experience in this area puts me in a position where some roles are too junior while others are too senior. I know I could add significant value to a team if I could get the chance to prove myself. However, as these roles tend to be fairly standalone, it seems companies only go for those people who have the exact experience already. How can I convince them I have the potential to learn quickly and add value?
