Working in HR? If you could start again, would you?

Steve Bridger

You're looking at me quizzically... 'Odd question', you're thinking. 'Why ask that?'

No agenda... I was just thinking out loud... those of you who are HR (or L & D) veterans; with all your experience and expertise - if you knew then (at the start of your career journey)... what you know now, would you do it all again?

Maybe you are relatively new to the profession. What would you do differently?

  • Yes Definitely but I would maybe make the jump sooner than I did. My degree was in Tourism and Regional Studies and after Uni I started out in hospitality. It was in my first managers post that I came across Cathy who was the HR manager and she give me my first taste of the HR world and I was hooked. It took me another 4 years though to start on my own HR path. Looking back maybe I should have started my HR studies sooner rather than waiting, but the hands on operational experience is something that I also think is valuable to be a good HR Practitioner
