Starting out on Level 5 HR Diploma - who else is with me?

Posted by Sian Johnson-James on July 26, 2020 at 8:58pm in Being An Effective Practitioner, Performance Management, and Change Management

Hi Everyone!

Starting my CIPD (finally!!!) and hoping to connect and speak with people at the same point to discuss assessments but workplace pieces too - sooo who's with me??

Definitely been an interesting time to be in HR - work has been busy, confusing but, to the most point, a huge learning experience.

Looking forward to speaking soon!

Sian

  There are some great resources on there! I am also going to create a covid channel for people starting out ~now. Once you join the slack channel, please drop me a message (you will be able to find me using my name) and I wiill add you to the channel. If there is a good turn out we can hopefully have zoom chats!

  Slack is where work flows. It's where the people you need, the information you share, and the tools you use come together to get things done.

Hi Sian,

I too am starting my first assigment due to a hold up (thanks COVID) struggling to get to grips with things and would appreciate the help and support as we go though this :)

  Amy, SNAP ! I am struggling with exactly the same issue, as I haven't been in education for years ! I think its just a case of submit and get the feedback and see where you go wrong !
  
  Its nice to know that I am not alone though Amy

    Hi Stuart,
    
    Im the same - i started my first assigment e-lessons back in Feb and thought i was flying and had a good understanding of what was required...now im floundering and finding it really hard to get back into. The thing thats getting to me the most, is how to write the assignments and ensure im entering the right refrences and how to enter them!

      Hi Amy
      
      I started in feb too and am in exactly the same boat as you! Taken a few months off as incredibly busy at work but it's made me very apprehensive about starting back up again!
      - Amy Methley > Emma Brown August 13, 2020 at 9:42am
        
        I've re-watched all the e-lessons and have attempted to start writing but im not sure im even on the right tracks now, it all seemed so clear in Feb!
        
        Hope you get your head round it easier than i am! :)

        Hi Amy
        
        My advice is to make sure that you watch the videos that explain the brief and then come along to webcast (see the Getting Support tab for details) where you'll be able to get information live from a DPG Facilitator.

Hi Sian,

Count me in! I joined a couple of weeks ago, and just at the begining stage. Group support, duscussions are going to be much needed. I have no direct HR experience, but very passionate about persuing career in this field. This is going to be quite a challenge, but perseverance will pay off! I look forward to learning and developing further in the HR field.

Best wishes

Tatiana
