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.

  • Advice to younger self - feel the fear and do it anyway (after assessing the risk first). Also find a good teacher in the Business/HR and gain as much experience/learning from them as possible and then do the same for someone new to the profession - they will appreciate it. Finally don't focus too much on the can't when advising on a situation but the outcome and how best to get there! It took a while too!!!!.
    CIPD resources - I like the bloggs, attend the CIPD network events for networking opportunities and sharing of information and use the factsheets and website and employment law helpline too.
