Hi Community,

I posted a few months ago as I left my role in recruitment and decided to full-time study for my L5 in People Management to help me move into HR and I was asking for advice. Those of you who commented where very helpful in giving me some perspective and hoping that you might be able to help here too.

I'm pleased to say that I completed my studies beg of April and within 6 weeks of me moving back to London I landed my 1st role in People as a Junior People Advisor. I'm beyond over the moon and I am LOVING it so far. We are a small HR team since going through a restructure and I am lucky to have such a supportive and caring Head of HR.

My question to all of you is given your experience and when looking back on your early careers knowing what you know now, what 3 things would you say I should do/be aware of that would better set me up for success? I know that the world is a different place to how it was 10 years ago and with that HR priorities have shifted, but I would welcome some of your ideas.

To be clear my role is a generalist role with a strong focus on ER. 

Looking forward to connecting with you and discussing this.

Eddie
