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.

  • It does seem quite refreshing to me that some of the "younger" contirbutors have planned their career in HR - maybe that shows that it is more of a career choice these days than when some of us "older" ones (apologies if I'm generalising here!) seem to have fallen into HR somewhat!  Not that i regret at all my time in operational management roles or even in the bank - they all add up to a lot of good life experience.  But in the "older" days maybe HR / personnel wasn't seen as strategically important and something people were almost sidelined into!


    hopefully we live in more enlightened times!


    Really good also to get some background on other peoples experience - a lot more info here than on the profiles!


    Have a good weekend,
