Transition to HR from Finance

Nikita

Hello!

I am currently working in Finance, but I am looking to transition into HR, as I feel this field really appeals to my skillset and my career goals. 

I am quite a sociable person and like to engage with people in my company by getting involved in a collaborative and fun company culture. However I worry that I won't achieve this in HR, as HR could potentially be an isolated role because of its confidential and highly sensitive nature. 

Is HR quite an isolated role, or is it what you make it? Is it possible to find companies where you can still enjoy the social aspect of the company whilst still working in HR please? 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am looking to self fund my CIPD to appeal to employers and any advice on the role would help me to commit to going for the qualification!

Thanks so much in advance!

  • Hi Nikita, I'm guessing no one has answered yet because you have pretty much covered your own questions! What you do in HR and the company you work for is bound to impact on how isolated, or not, you might feel in HR. People may well pump you for information, so you need to be prepared for that and know you can resist. I did the Level 5 and self-funded so I understand your hesitation. That said, the content and skills required feed into any role you might choose to explore, so if you can afford it and are interested enough, I think it can only be a good thing on your CV.
