One of the challenges that i've faced has been ensuring that I build up the credibility of being an HR professional, despite my age. However, being on the CIPD qualification and studying the units and covering off - from professional practice to employment law and reward and resourcing has helped give me a base understanding. And helped me develop my credibility within my role and with the team around me as well. So, they look at me now not just as a young HR manager, but as an HR professional, in my own right.

Being a CIPD member, enhances your career, in a number of different ways. I think it certainly enhances your networking opportunities. It helps you understand best practice within HR. It provides unparalleled resources to help you with your own
personal development. And, I think it helps you as well in the in the wider
world of work. I think people recognize that CIPD status and i think it adds
value to your CV. And, I think it adds value to you as a as a HR professional
and practitioner.

I'm really glad that I've studied an HR qualification with CIPD and I feel it's helped me become a better HR professional. It's helped me be a more credible HR professional. And, it's helped me feel really good about myself and the profession, in the career, that i've got ahead of me.
