I have about five years of experience working as a Customer Service Advisor for both public (HMPO and NHS) and private companies. I am now interested in applying for a position as an Information Officer, where the role involves responding to Freedom of Information and Data Protection Act requests within appropriate timeframes. A solid understanding of GDPR is essential.
In my previous roles at His Majesty’s Passport Office and the NHS, I gained valuable experience and became well-versed in GDPR. Given my background and transferable skills, I believe I have a strong chance of securing this job. However, I wonder if I might be overestimating my qualifications.
BTW I a BA & MA from government department & law department (not a law degree)
But it seems & it's clear to me that most employers are looking more for experience than academic qualifications these days.
🤔 thinking of how to put myself forward as a strong candidate to be hired for this role pls help
