Hi everyone,
I have been reading these forums for the past few weeks, and thought I'd take the plunge to ask some questions.
I'm a BA (psychology) student, in my third year of study. I started my degree with the aim to practice clinically, but after being exposed to so many different areas in psychology, have shifted my focus to organisational aspects. I have been researching about
HR for a few months now and it has appealed to me, to the point where I want to pursue this further.
I'm interested to know if any
HR professionals have, or have hired someone with, a background in psychology. I have heard of psych graduates gaining employment in
HR, but am not sure if this is common practice.
Would it be more advantageous for me to study
HR management specifically, either through a graduate diploma after my psych degree, Cert IV at TAFE, or by transferring to a university where I can complete a double major? I am so close to finishing my first degree that I don't want to abandon it to transfer completely, especially if it could be of use.
Thank you so much in advance!
