What HR career advice would you give your younger self?

Steve Bridger

A bit of a sneaky question to draw you in... but in all seriousness this Community surfaces many of the challenges people professionals face at various stages of their cereers.

aced throughout their career and try to draw out some common themes. So, back to the questions...

  • What career advice would you give your younger self?
  • What has been your most important resource when thinking about the career progression you have made to date?

...and with my CIPD hat on, how have CIPD resources helped you to progress your career to date (leaving to one side qualifications and professional recognition)?

...and what kind of resources for career development do you feel the CIPD could provide that we do not already?

Thanks.

  • As Ray said, advice to younger self would be to build my knowledge in as broad a way as possible. For me that included taking roles which were not HR per se but which gave me a broad exposure to the commercial aspects of the business which has been invaluable over the years. Build up a network of contacts whom you can bounce things off with. This forum has been invaluable for that over the years as has been my own network of contacts built up over my career.
    I don't tend to use a lot of the CIPD resources, apart from factsheets and updates at time.
