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 completely planned it at the age of 15/16 (whilst doing 2 weeks work experience in an HR team) - bit scary thinking I planned my career at that age, I guess it could have gone horribly wrong!  But it didn't!  At that time I think I was hooked due to my somewhat nosy nature...  I went on to do an HR degree and 8 years on I haven't looked back!
