Career progression in HR

Andre

Is it often considered a given in the profession that:

Someone with 3 years experience as an HR Administrator should then be able to automatically step up to an HR Advisor level role, provided they also have the CIPD Level 7 and Associate Membership of the respective professional body;

Ditto for someone with 3 years experience as an HR Advisor for an HR Business Partner role.

Ditto for someone with 3 years experience as an HR Business Partner for an HR Director’s role.

However, as a gap analysis in all their job descriptions and person specifications, they lack either previous HR Advisory, HR Business Partnering or HR Directing experience, so how do most people do it then by ‘making the jump ‘ or ‘bridging that gap.’?

  • I have worked in HR for around 16 years now, most of it at HR Assistant level. However as I have worked in large Public Sector organisations I have had the opportunity to Act up into higher roles, go on secondment for shorter periods as well as given a lot of development opportunities to be involved with/manage more casework etc. When I was successful in getting a job as Senior HR Assistant role this was later re-titled HR Advisor to more accurately reflect the role. So even though it would appear on paper that I have been at the same level for many years I have gained a lot of different experience and developed within the role itself.

    So as others have said below it depends on the opportunities that become available, what you enjoy/don't enjoy, the size of the company etc. Also that Job titles and what they involve can also vary a lot between different companies.
