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 had the same problem as yourself around about a year or so ago so can totally relate. As many have eluded to, it is quite a competitive field to get into especially with little to no experience.

    I would highly recommend looking into a HR apprenticeship, that is the route I took due to lack of experience. They're a great way to learn on the job, establish which areas of HR you enjoy plus you'll earn a wage all at the same time. I'm coming to the end as I started mine 18 months ago now and have not looked back since!

    The government website the first place I would recommend you have a look for any vacancies.

    Good Luck!
