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 fell into it over a Curry!


    I was an Exec Sec for a long time and I had a night out (for said Curry) with a friend and her partner (who happened to be MD of the firm I went to work for).


    He asked whether I would be interested in relocating to work for his Company - then just before I joined asked "have you considered venturing into HR".  Hence started in June and ventured into CPP in the Autumn of 2001.
