Hi HR family,
I hope all of you are well.
I am taking my first steps in the HR industry. I have struggled for many years to find my passion and it was so close that I didn't even notice it.
I am currently doing a mentorship and training programme for 3 months and starting my Level 3 CIPD in June.
I have the opportunity to study a master in international business with a chance to do my desertation in HRM.
I wanted to have a little guidance from you. Is it worth it to do the masters? What are employers requiring for an entry role in HR ex: HR administrator or what role should I focus on starting my HR career? If you have any advices, tips or paths to go that would be much appreciated.
I am keen in finishing the mentorship, level 3, 5 and 7 as soon as I can, as well the masters.
I just need a clear path or options to think about.
Anything will be helpful.
Thank you. I am very excited to be part of this community.
At this stage I would highly recommend you gain as much practical experience in HR as you can and supplement that with an entry level qualification. Your main challenge will not be the opportunity to do formal qualifications (there are always available) but gaining real practical work experience in real jobs.
Getting over qualified too soon is likely to be a positive career stopper rather than an enhancer (if you use the search facilities you will find lots of questions on this)
