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 also fell into HR when I left university after doing a degree in history. I was adamant that I wanted to stay in Sheffield and therefore I applied for every job going. I fell into a job of contract manager doing all the recruitment, payroll and employee relations. Until this job I had no idea what HR even was. I then moved into a HR Manager role for 2 years and I have now moved into my new role as Head of HR and I am learning a lot. In every role I have been well and truly in the deep end but I think that’s the best way to learn sometimes.
