This might be a US-centric view. In the UK if you don't know employment law you're no use as an HR professional. Your line managers almost certainly don't so HR are often the only people who do.
- switch007 12y agoIt's my Britain-centric experience ;) (and not a view of the entire HR industry). I agree with your statement but I do not think it disagrees with mine. Perhaps I should have said "for a job in HR".
