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.

  • wow - what variety!


    I guess I aimed in a slightly different direction but got a little derailed. I wanted to qualify in law but decided this in my last year of my business degree, so opted to major in employment and company law in my last year, with a view to doing conversion and full legal qualifications afterwards. However funds were non existent, and I was sick of studying so got an HR job to save for future study... and I haven't been back (that was 9 years ago). Did a Diploma in HR to get CIPD qualifications.


    I still really want to focus on the law, one day, its just too expensive and I don't have the time right now!
