The importance of the work experience gained during the student years is growing in today’s modern societies. It is becoming increasingly more obvious that the education is no longer the only dividing line between "better" and "worse" jobs or higher and lower paid jobs. That is why it is very important to research the field of knowledge and skills that had already been acquired when talking about the quality of the transition of young people to the labor market. In addition to the presentation of current theoretical findings in this field, diploma thesis gathers opinions or views of Human Resources Management students and employed Human Resources Managers on the impact of student work experience in HR on Human Resources Manager profession. The data was collected using 20 semi - structured interviews. Firstly, it was found that experiences shorten the length of the job search period. Secondly, they shorten the length of the onboarding process and thirdly, they also have a positive impact on the quality of the work performance (as Human Resources Manager). Specifically, they increase the speed, quality of completing work tasks that are part of the job (fourth meaning) and increase the level of development of those general competencies (fifth meaning) and those subject-specific competencies that HR managers need on a daily basis (sixth meaning).
