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 orginally started with a BA (Hons) in English and worked in sales and marketing for several years.  Whilst taking a break I took a temp job with this company as an admistrator (wanted to move away from sales and marketing) which I did for two years; I loved the company.  I was offered a secondment in HR which I took and was informed I had to have a CPP which I paid for myself.  I successfully completed this is 2006 and I was taking on and have worked as an HR Assistant for the last four years (has it been that long!). 


    I would like to do the CIPD but it is finding a company that would be willing to pay.
