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 did a Business Studies Degree with a final year specialism in HR but upon graduating couldn't get a job in HR and found myself working for an independent telecoms company where I primarily supported the Operations Manager until they recruited a HR Manager and I then worked for him.  Following that I worked for an Employmemt Law Consultancy for 7 years (which I kind of fell into as I needed a job after travelling for a year!) and am now HR/Office Manager and really enjoying the variety of the role.  I am also a member of the Senior Management Team and feel that my earlier roles have been instrumental for me being able to see the 'bigger picture'.
