How did you get into HR/ get your first role?

Getting into HR seems to be IMPOSSIBLE!

Just wondering how everyone got started - undergraduate degree or another route?

Thanks

  • Hi Charlotte,

    I was in your position 18 months ago and was finding it impossible! I was rejected from a lot of roles. To gain experience I did some voluntary work experience with the NHS which was organised through a friend. I worked flexibly on a recruitment project and also sat in on some meetings. This gave me something to write about on my CV and talk about in an interview situation. I would recommend gaining any unpaid experience as it can really help to shape you! Good luck!
