Things you wish you knew

Lee

Hi All, I qualify for my CIPD Level 3 in June, I have worked as an account manager for 15 years but have always had a keen interest in HR so have finally taken the jump and landed my first HR role which I start in a few weeks!

I'm thrilled to be starting this new chapter in my career, I've thoroughly been enjoying my studies and taking as much in as possible however I would like to be as prepared as possible going into my new role!

for all those working in a HR Advisor role, could you please share any words of advice you wish you had been given, or would go back and tell yourself when first starting out?

Thanks for you time!

Lee.

  • Well done Lee! I echo all the previous comments but would also say keep your business mind which you will have picked up from account management. This is a huge advantage so use it. Secondly, spend as much time with other HR people in your organisation. I'm almost 4 years into my HR career and have undoubtedly only developed so much due to the coaching from others in my department. I also think a huge area of focus for an advisor would be process improvement on the transactional side. Not only will this build your reputation, it will free up your time for more value add activities. Best of luck!
