CIPD

Congratulations!

I also did the diploma, but I did mine at College, term time, one afternoon each week. It was good and I have made some great friends and contacts as well.

My daughter refers to me as the "funsponge" and my son says he's given up asking me anything as I go in to everything wearing my HR hat, lol. My Husband thinks I just have a drawer full of biscuits and drink tea all day. I am wfh at the moment and he…

I feel the same - the oracle of all knowledge. The fact that Mr Google does have some information for people to find themselves seems to be lost, unless they use Mr Google for shopping!

It is not always easy to stay in HR either - I am being made redundant again soon, third time in 2 years and am devastated, but I will keep going forward and this is only a curve in the road. keep going, good things happen to people who don't give up…

I suppose as the others have said it is your personal decision whether you wish to stay in. Keith has explained it very well and clear and I personally value my colleagues opinions on this forum.
