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 Victoria 


    I fell into HR, but glad i did. I completed a degree in Tourism and Regional Studies (wanted to do Marketing for NI Tourist Board) After Uni i took a job in a hotel as a receptionist and over the next few years worked my way up to Asst Manager of a large 4 star hotel. Along the way got very involved in  Health and Safety and HR side of management and completed my CPP.


    In 2005 i broke my elbow which meant i was off work for 6 months and i decided then to look for an HR position full time. Started out as HR Admin Assistant, completed NVQ in Personnel Management and am presently HR Officer for the NI Branch of a global company responsible for 165 employees and love every minute of it.


    Also plan to continue with my studies next year when my little boy starts playgroup.
