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 fell into HR.  I temped in a couple of HR teams over the summer holidays during University, but then went into Retail for 3 years.  After a disastrous job came to an end I was looking to do something new away from Retail, and my brother told me he was leaving his HR job as he was relocating across the country for personal reasons.


    He put me forward to his boss along with a good word and I was on my way in HR, 6 years and counting.


    My favourite aspect of HR is that the people you deal with keep this fresh and interesting.  You may deal with familiar topics every day, but everyone is unique and this always seems to throw up something new.
