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.

  • I also planned a career in HR...


    When I was 16 I spent 2½ years selling knickers at M&S.  Most of my colleagues had worked there longer than I'd be alive (then) and I was intrigued by what motivated them to stay... I now know it was the non-contributory final salary pension scheme!  At the same time, I also happened to be studying Chemistry A-Level, and it became very quickly apparent that it was definitely not my strong point, so I switched to Business Studies.


    I also did a Business Studies degree, with an industrial placement in HR, which confirmed that it was a career that I was interested in pursuing.
