Who it’s for
Written for the career changer — not the HR veteran.
This guide is for you if…
- You’re looking to move into HR from another field
- You’ve been doing HR-adjacent work and want to make it official
- You want an honest map of the profession before you commit
- You want to know which certifications to pursue and in what order
You won’t find…
- Vague career advice that could apply to any field
- Jargon without explanation
- A cheerleader telling you HR is easy
- Anything that wastes your time
Why it’s different
“These aren’t generic career books. They come from years inside the profession — the good days and the hard ones.“
With years in the profession, I created Career in HR to give you the honest, practical guidance I wish someone had handed me. Not a glossy career book that skips the hard parts. A real one — from someone who has sat across from people on the hardest days of their working lives.
