I’m a Bachelors in computer sciences but I’m starting to develop interest in HR. Is it possible for me to apply for the role of an HR with my BCS degree or do I need to get a suitable degree for HR?

I think I’ve been job hopping too much. Would that put a negative impact on my CV?

Job hogging has its pros and cons. If you are switching jobs too often in a very less time frame it can have a negative impact but if you are switching jobs to explore your interests then it has a positive impact on self growth. This will allow you to find your passion and pursue a career that interests you in the long run.
