HR Overstepping?

Trolololol
I work at a tennis resort, our manager left recently, so I put in an application for the job. HR came back and said I can't be considerred for the job cause I don't have managing experience.

The tennis director has mentioned before how I'd be great at the job etc.. . Well I talked to him last night about it, and I explained to him how I believe I am being given an unfair opportunity and how am I supposed to get experience if they won't allow it. He then mentioned how the GM recommend me for the job and Hr still said nope you can't hire him..

I mean Wtf. . Pretty sure HR is overstepping here
 
great responses gaiz!!


update, I have a meeting with the GM on Thursday to discuss all this

I should add (when creating thread I was doing it on my phone), I'm already doing roughly 50% of the job until a new manager is hired. I've been there for about 2 years now, everyone says how great I am, blah blah blah.

Basically what I'm getting is that I am going have to leave the company and start all over to get managing experience because I will never get promoted without having managing experience

HR is never the final hiring authority...they always work for someone who makes the final decision, and in this case it would seem like that would be the GM. HR is nothing more than a screening function for the decision makers. By the way, your performance of the managerial duties in the absense of the departed manager is indeed experience at the very position they're looking to fill.

This, plus think of any other opportunity you've had to be in charge of managing people or events, as well as any managerial aspects of the work you've been doing there all along. Document those skills in your resume. Don't try to make the case that you shouldn't need that experience; pull out every possible bit of data to show that you do have some.

One of the best ways to develop management experience without being hired for it is through volunteer work. At work, you might suggest that you organize a fundraiser for a worthy cause that will have you managing a number of staff members or volunteers for a period of time as well as the event logistics. Or, you could find a place to do that with another organization. Fundraisers are great for this type of experience (and for networking). If you participate once people will usually jump at an offer to help manage the next, so it is easy to get in. Also, they run for finite time periods, so you can develop skills in planning and managing as well as point to solid results at the end.

Bully the Bullies. I just hang out at a different middle school every week as school is letting out. When I see some kid getting picked on I intervene. But not like a rational adult. I make threats and poke the bully in the chest really hard and crack wise about their mother. Even if they pull the old "dude, my mom is dead" bull, I don't stop.

Join an organization like Rotary, there are tremendous opportunities to show leadership and management along with making connections that will help you along the way. It seems anymore it is as much about who you know as what you know....
