How to get into HR

Shevonne

Hey everyone!

I'm just little curious as to how everyone got into HR, I'm really interested in maybe starting a career in HR, but I just don't know how to go about it. I left high school with not the best grades and thought many times about going to college but I've never been a classroom learner. I'm 22 years old and have mainly worked in coffee shops, I spent the past year and a half working for Tesco Bank but handed in my notice in May I probably should've waited until I found something else but I just didn't want to be stuck in some dead-end job that I hated.

Any advice on how I can go about things would be greatly appreciated!

  • Hi Shevonne,

    I fell into HR through my job in retail. I had no qualifications but more or less worked my way up and when the HR manager was going on maternity leave I was asked to cover for her. I loved it so much I signed up to a short taster course in HR in the local college.

    There are lots of short (3mth) courses online for a small few that would be really beneficial to you. I was never good at school but I got a distinction I’m that course because I was so interested. I’m now on my way to a Diploma in HR.

    There’s always a way and get in touch if you want any more info.

    Good luck!
