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

Georgia

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!

Georgia

    Hi Sharon,

    Thanks for your reply - that's really helpful. I have my own CIPD development plan which highlights some of these areas, but I don't have one at work, I think that should be my next step before anything else, thanks for highlighting this. I'll definitely check out the other areas you have suggested too, thank you!

    Best wishes,
    Georgia

    Yes I agree with Tracey. As all my HR career has been in large public sector organisations I have had the opportunity to move to different roles on secondment - it's given me the opportunity to try new things and gain new skills. It has enabled me to widen my skills into Recruitment and Workforce Analysis as well career progression from Personnel Clerk to Assistant at the start of my career and from HR Assistant to HR Advisor/Officer more recently.
