What HR career advice would you give your younger self?

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.

  • What career advice would you give your younger self? - You won't have all the answers after a course here and a seminar there. Everyone is always learning and it's not always black and white. Learn to listen more and be open-minded to the possibilities. 

    What has been your most important resource when thinking about the career progression you have made to date?  -  I completed my Level 3 Diploma a few years back, and it was a fantastic stepping stone into the world of HR. Since then Its been about learning from as many different people as possible.
