Getting into HR seems to be IMPOSSIBLE!
Just wondering how everyone got started - undergraduate degree or another route?
Thanks

Hi Charlotte
Here are a couple of previous discussion threads well worth some of your time, I think.
Working in HR? If you could start again, would you? Over 33,000 views and 70+ comments. Some great stories.
How did you get into HR? An old thread (2010) but again... with 70+ comments.

Thanks for all of the replies... it's interesting to hear how everyone got into the profession although honestly it can be disheartening to hear that a lot of people seem to stumble into HR by chance. I feel like i'm getting nowhere as i'm currently doing a Masters in HR alongside working full time; I contacted numerous companies asking to volunteer in their HR departments (using Annual Leave) and got no positive response. I have plenty of transferable skills from part of my role at work being a Volunteer Coordinator (recruiting, inducting, placing adverts online, DBS etc.) Every interview I have been invited to was always 'it was a great interview but someone had more experience'. So it just seems a little impossible really as I couldn't leave a full time job to do temp work.
