Default Breaking into the HR industry (2 years of non relev. exp)

Hi everyone,

I would like to hear some thoughts and get some advice on my situation.

I graduated with a FCH specializing in materials engineering from a local university. I figured that I did not want to work as an engineer so i joined the healthcare industry in one of the government hospitals upon graduation as an administrator.

Currently, I have approximately 2 years of work experience (mainly learning and development for the staff) and my annual package including bonus is approximately 50+k.

My experience in learning and develop has piqued my interest in human resources. Hence, I wish to break into the HR industry as a generalist. However, I find it difficult to be shortlisted for an interview, much less secure an offer.

Please advise.
