How did you move on from your first role in HR?

Hi everyone,

Just looking for some friendly advice and your experiences on developing your career.

I've been in my first HR role for almost two years as a HR Administrator and I am really enjoying it, I love the work and I love my team and the company I work for.

I'm not thinking about moving on but I do want to hear about your experiences of moving from a similar band 1 role to that of a band 2?

I have reviewed the job description for the next role up in my organisation (which is HR Advisor) and have identified the areas I need to gain experience in to meet the requirements. I also appreciate that learning and becoming confident at these new tasks will take some time. (Timescale for me is not important as I want to make sure I can do the job!)

Please let me know your experiences, I'm really keen to hear how you've driven your career forward. 

TIA!

  • Hi Georgia, I concur with Peter also. I have always found a new role to be daunting and I am starting a new one next week. I try and see it as walking through a gate into the unknown, it is uncomfortable, but once you step through it is an opportunity to learn and use learnt skills and knowledge, but sometimes you have to move sideways as well as just upwards to gain this.

    If I am uncertain I will post a question on here from ideas, suggestions and even support.
