ukstudent   10 #1 Posted October 27, 2004 Anyone know anything about working in personnel! I know basically what its about, but what qualifications do you need? How do you get into it? etc. Whats the pay like? What do you actually do except sorting out ppls problems and recruiting?

Skatiechik   10 #2 Posted October 28, 2004 Your not usually well liked, is the most useful comment I can add  human resources in blue chip companies normally require a degree..  Best advice I can give is to search the careers sites, or visit your local careers library which will be able to give you more advice on what is involved.

clairee   10 #3 Posted October 29, 2004 In terms of qualifications the most well recognised qual is Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development quals there are various ones (they have a website where you can find out more) some Universities offer Human Resource degrees where you can become CIPD qualified at same time, this is the best way to do it. else you are looking at studying for CIPD qual while working and that can take about 3 yrs on average part time.  Pay varies widely but be prepared for not a lot unless you have experience its one of those to get in it you need experience but then how do you get it, think its down to sheer persistence.  HR as a function isn't all about sorting out probs and recruiting they are two major aspects other ones are learning and development, policy formulation.  Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Liose   10 #8 Posted December 4, 2007 Confidentiality, accuracy, knowledge of statutory policy/procedures, credibility, responsible, overview/appreciation of HR function/department and what business objectives are (so you can see how the HR role fits in and ultimately, what you are supporting administratively). Able to liaise with stakeholders/staff at all levels (external/internal)...what specifically do you want to know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
