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.

  • This has been such an interesting and informative post.  Unfortunately for me the path to HR seems to continually allude me and I am not able to get into in as yet.  Currently I am undertaking some HR related duties on a voluntary basis for a local firm but this work as yet is infrequent as there is not a specific HR person there and no specific HR function (and according to the powers that be there never will be.  In the next week I will be doing payroll for the 2nd time and there are some maternity related issues to address amongst other things .  And I have been given the role of updating a new database for their external company to access (they are paying for external HR advice).   I have also undertaken various administrative duties.


    My barriers unfortunately come from agencies who are unwilling to put my CV forward for any work (the majority of HR related posts seem to come via this route). 


     


    Please tell me that it is only a matter of time :-)
