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.

  • For me, I moved into HR having worked in secretarial/office management roles over a number of years.  My then employer asked me to take on some HR duties and I subsequently went to Kingston University to do a part time post grad in HRM.  15 years on and I am still enjoying being in HR, obviously some days more than others.  Since qualifying, I have spent 18 months out of a HR role doing a line management role which was really useful and which has helped me to become more commercial in my approach.
