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.

  • Thanks for your response Ross, I think the new levels of CIPD membership will be a great way to prove individuals have a badge of competence that isn't just about exam success but demonstrating the skills and behaviours necessary to operate at a certain level.  I certainly agree that we need to encourage more businesses to better understand the role of HR and how HR can really work more effectively with business to drive sustainable performance -- rather than working for individual gain as you mention.


    Interesting to hear your responses on skills and what you wished you'd known.  Do you think business acumen needs to be one of the skills too?  This is something that has come out of my research so far.


    Thanks again!
