How did you get into HR??

Victoria

When networking I find that a lot of HR practioners "fell into" their HR careers.


I myself decided at age 17 that I wanted to do a BA in HRM and then I gained experience and went onto do my CIPD.


I'm interested to find out how others got into HR.

  • Hi,


    I planned it as well, when I graduated with my undergraduate degree in Economics, I went back and did a 1 year postgraduate MSc in HR and L&D, with my CIPD thrown in for good measure. Then worked my way up in HR ever since.


    I know what you mean though, my prior HR Director (in retail) was a trained pharmacist, then a flagship store manager who slowly took on some HR responsibilities before taking a sideways step into HR.


    It takes all sorts!!!
