How did you get into HR??

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 fell into it. I had a 7 year career in Recrutiment Agency management and got fed up with chasing sales all day - applied for an HR Advisor post one day and through charm, wit and luck got the job - here I am 8 years later..wondering some days whether I would be better as a chicken farmer - mind you they have issues too don't they.. and they just don't get the organisational development concept at all.HR KPI would become the Kentucky Performance Indicators...... pub?- yep I'm, comin - it's Friday after all.
