Hey Penny. Your story is so similar to my experience! I too worked in recruitment and i loved every bit aside from the sales culture. Looking to embark or a HR career too. Thanks for this video, gave me a little extra reassurance :)
1. Recruitment and staffing
2. Compensation and benefits
3. Employee Relations
4. Learning and Development
5. Lab our law, compliance and IR
6. Culture and satisfaction
Hi Penny,
It's exactly the same with me I was working in talent acquisition and hated the sales aspect ! Currently doing masters in Hr and now I got to know it's so vast and interesting domain !
Thanks for making the video ! Would love to have a good connection with you !
I worked in HR for a few years and really enjoyed it! Great video!
Fine Print For Life thanks for watching, I really cannot imagine myself doing anywhere else now...
Hi there! Such a great video with some really helpful advice there. I’m currently an apprentice Business Administrator working for a social care company, but HR is where I would really like to be. I have already looked into ICS Learn and Level 3 CIPD qualifications, so hearing you mention them has reassured me that I am on the right track.
The fact that you mentioned admin roles and apprenticeships was also really reassuring to me as well, of course, being an apprentice working towards an admin qualification that’s great to hear.
So thank you for the advice, you have earned yourself a new subscriber 😁!
Thanks for watching and for the feedback Tom! HR is for sure an option after some more general administrative work. Once you have finished your apprenticeship it may well be worth you looking into the level 3 or 5 CIPD, don’t overwhelm yourself with too much learning at once!
Great video!
Great video penny. I work in HR & you described working in HR well. New subbie 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thanks Connie!
I cannot explain to you how similar our stories are!
I started in recruitment, hated the cold calling/sales aspect of it though… then I applied for a role I should have been filling too 🤣 and got it! Now I’ve been in HR for 6 years ✨
I know so many people like us!
A lot of information i get... Thansk
Thank you for watching and for the feedback!
Hi Penny! Came across your profile only today, how has your experience with ICS LEARN been? I'm looking at them as the CIPD provider. And, what's your take on foreign students taking the CIPD? Have you heard of anyone who got into HR in the UK from abroad? I have a 4 year experience.
This may be a daft question, but what is a typical day working in HR?
Currently have a BSc and MSc in Psychology and currently working as a therapist. Although, I want a complete change and HR is one of my options but I'm not sure if it is for me.
Can you please do a day in the life working in HR? I’m hoping to learn more about HR to see if it would be a good job for me. Thanks
Great video idea, thank you!
I just require and desire A job ! I'm rotting away with zero income! How can I finally achieve successful employment outcomes?
Imliterally considering on pursuing a career in HR, like for defo in the future.... I did btec extended level in tourism, and thinkong to do hnd course so i can afford budget wise.... Is this okay?
Hi Penny! Please could you help 🙏🏻☺️ I want to start a career in HR and I’m not sure whether I should start with CIPD level 3, or if I have enough experience, go straight into CIPD level 5. I worked as a manager in a shop for 5 years where I managed all stages of employee lifecycle (recruitment, onboarding, retention, development, off-boarding). I managed all data and kept records on HCM system including absences, performance reviews and recorded conversation outcomes. What are your thoughts? Do you think by skipping level 3 I would miss out on a lot of base knowledge?
I would like to get a bachelor's degree in hr in the future, but for now I want to get an associates at a community college so I can get my foot in the door of more reputable companies. I've been back and forth on whether I should I get my associates in hr or office administration.
I am a single mom with a one year old and I come from a poor family. I am tired of struggling financially and making minimum wage. I am from an island in the Caribbean and I'm looking to turn around my financial situation for me and my son.
I would appreciate any advice given. Thanks!
I got my associate’s degree in general studies at my cc which give me the chance to pick business classes, hr classes. I was able to land a job in HR at a women’s clinic. I’ll be getting a bachelors in the same but a minor in business.
what's hatche R?
Hi I'd like to know, but you studied the hr field or you found this job for one case
Hey, my master's degree is not CIPD accredited, will that create a problem in getting a job? I don't have any prior experience.
CIPD is often favourable in the UK
Hiya! I was wondering with your 6 months experience already how did you find the Level 3 CIPD course?
I have been in HR for 1 year as HR admin and have the option of 3 or 5 but don’t want to waste money/time if it really is quite for ‘beginners’
Thanks
if you have experience and are currently working in HR..level 5 seems perfect for you
Thanks for watching Jessica! I think level 5 would make the most sense for you, it really gives you the edge on your CV and you will learn about the next steps, rather than what you are already doing. Good luck! 🙂
Really informative!
Can I get into HR after doing a masters in psychology?
Please answer
Yes definitely! You can get into HR even without a masters in psychology, but it may appeal to employers more - especially if you want to specialise in occupational psychology in HR.
@@roguemaster1224 so it would be more appealing to the employer if I have a master's degree in psychology.
So to become an HR rep can I get into it straight after the masters?
Thanks for replying!!
@@automonkey4285 I can't say based on personal experience (I'm hoping to do a HR masters then go into HR jobs too) but there are definitely a lot of entry HR jobs on the market that you can go for - and quite a few say that relevant degrees (business, psychology etc) are preferable. You can also get into graduate HR schemes (mentioned in the video) - but again these are all available without an absolute *need* for a masters.
@@roguemaster1224 thank you so much for your help!!
It means a lot!
Absolutely yes! You need emotional intelligence to work in HR, so a psychology degree would be absolutely relevant!
What value does hr bring to society?
I joined hr because im ugly and no one likes me
What kind of reason is that?
