I would like to piggy back off Shannon post, I feel the same way.

I'm thankful that I have a job, however I feel devalued, under utilized and I hate working under my current manager. It's been 9 months and I'm not going anywere in this organization. I would like to transistion from recruitment into an HR position. I've applied for position that have a mix of recruitment and HR duties. I receive an immediate rejection notice. It's very depressing and don't see a way out.

    There are a couple of options that come to mind. If you want to stay at your current job rather than job hunt, you can see about volunteering with a non-profit. That could give you HR experience for your resume and avoid any work related "conflict of interest" about having a 2nd job. The other option would be to keep your current job until you obtain another (better) job elsewhere. Hope this helps.

    I know it's tough but keep looking. Feeling undervalued really eats away at you overtime. I have regrets for staying too long in a similar situation.

    In 9 months where do you expect to go within your relatively new employer?

    You haven't proven yourself!

    9 months is hardly enough time for your boss and their boss to access your value to the organization.

    Stop feeling entitled to "progress" rapidly and be thankful you have a job. You're receiving rejection notices... what does that tell you???

    That's a bit presumptuously slamming the OP. 9 months is enough time to 'read the room' as an employee... or employer . This is a grateful person looking for self improvement. Why judge?

    There is absolutely NO need for that level of nastiness in your reply.

    You don't know this person or their experience, strengths, life situation.

    Yet instead of nicely offering suggestions (perhaps you should remain in your current position for a bit longer; what professional development is available, etc.), you come back with a nasty, "Well, what did you expect?" As if this person has been coming to you for advice for years, and you've been telling them all this time what to do.

    I have found that the attitudes people use when replying to strangers on the internet is far more indicative of who they really are than anything else.

    We're supposed to be lifting each other up.

    I agree.
    I'm in my late 30s and still entry level. I feel like I can be "entitled" to move up quickly at my age.

    If you feel like you are going nowhere, start to suggest possibilities to management fir changes and potential processes to be updated. Make it happen and stand out, otherwise you become invisible

    Do you have any HR experience outside of recruiting? If you are lacking experience you will have difficulty finding an HR role.
