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.

  • My path into HR was not a planned one, but after the HR Manager returned after a period of long term sick at the company I was working at needed some assistance I jumped at the opportunity to try something new.  At the time I was working as a Sales Administrator and had got to the point where the role was no longer very rewarding. 


    I was very lucky as the HR Manager was very experienced and turned out to be a real inspiration and mentor to me whilst I studied for my CPP. 


     Now I am the HR Manager and love my job and the fact that there is always something new to learn or a new way to view things. 


     HR never gets boring.  The people you work with ensure that never happens and the rewards are always there; there’s nothing like the knowledge that you have helped someone to achieve a goal or put their mind at rest if they have a work related issue.
