Getting back to the HR world

Hi all, Just to introduce myself to this community. Due to various circumstances I have not been able to practice the HR I studied back in 2010. I am back now and re-joined CIPD and a lot seems to have changed. Glad to see there is a learning hub and will make the most of it. Happy to say I have a job now as a HR Associate Partner, however when searching for jobs I now see so much HR job titles. Is there a particular HR growth structure one can aim for? And any advice on building my career in HR will be great and is more than welcome. Looking forward to connecting with as many as I can. Thank you!

  • Welcome Eyitoyosi,

    I also just returned to CIPD last year. One thing that helped to cope with the changes and got myself up to speed is getting a mentor. Maybe someone in your organisation that will be willing to mentor you and help you understand some of recent changes in the HR profession. With this you could work out where your current job role fits in the professional map. Also check out the CPD Map, use the self assessment tool to identify your strengths and areas for development.  

  • Hello Eyitoyosi,
    Well done on your new role! I am currently on a career break and it was lovely to read this thread and the support we have. I became so busy in my previous role I slowly pulled away from this community. There does seem to be many new titles and the advice on here is great to get you started. The best title I have seen so far was 'Chief Magic Officer'! I will now refer back to the professional map too as mentioned above.
