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 would agree some very interested reading.


     My pathway was from that of a part time trade union activist with 20 years experience, looking for a way of earning a reasonable living since as a chef with thirty years experience it only just paid the bills. I went back to education after a 30 year gap to do my CIPP, from there Core Management and Post Grad.


    I owe a debt of gratitude to a couple of people who gave me the opportunity to move into this field without which I would not be were I am today, so many place such emphasis on academic achievement rather than practical experience, that a great deal of expertise must go wasted
