First steps

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.

    My own personal opinion is that the Masters helped me to get the job I wanted. I had a few years experience at the point, but the Masters did definitely help me. Everyone will have different experiences, but I am glad I did the Masters.
    Additionally, I really enjoyed the independent research and project work that I did as part of it.
    In my role now, I still find that I get my Masters books out!

    Good luck with it - it sound as if you have really found the area where you want to focus on
