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.

  • dont we all have varied careers! Thats partly what I love about HR, no 2 people in my team have come from the same background, and have such a diverse and stimulating approach to work as a result.

     

    Im probably more planned that others, I graduated with an Economics degreee but knew there was no way I wanted to become an economist! So I went back and did a 1-year postgraduate MSc in HR and the Management of Training and Development with my CIPD thrown in for good measure. On graduating I was lucky enought to find a role with a great company as an HR and Payroll Assistant, then moved to another company as HR Officer, then promoted to HR Advisor and finally my new role as an HR Consultant within the public sector.

     

    I always knwe I wanted to work with 'people' and work with companies to help them value their workforce appropriately, so im happy where my career has taken me so far :)
