Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA)

Do you have a Certification, Skills, and Interests section on your resume?

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!

Hi, I’m currently a consultant based in the US and my dream is to move to London to pursue a MBA. However, a majority of these programs require a 3.0-3.3 GPA minimum and I unfortunately received a 2.9 (not proud of this but it is what it is) does anyone have any advice on how I can get past this or is it going to be impossible for me to get into grad school in England? Thanks!

Has anyone seen or discussed this Petition for SHRM must support Black Lives Matter & the LGBTQ community? I’ve grown increasingly concerned and disappointed in SHRM’s lack of vocal support for employment protections for LGBTQ+ and black and brown workers, especially as a black woman in HR. It seems like SHRM is overly focused on what is absolutely “legal” and not what is right. I’m of the opinion HR professionals must not only be “legal” but have a relevant and compassionate stance

Had my first dream about the project I’m working on. I feel like I’ve taken the next step on my consulting journey.

What do you wish you knew when you were asking for your first raise? I’m well over half a year from that conversation but it’s on my mind. Me and my partner have sold a good deal of work but is that enough? Because there are times when I know I could have given more to a project, but I choose my mental health instead. This is so toxic but I feel like I’m not pulling enough all-nighters to earn a raise—like it’s some unspoken rule that my whole team is thinking but not voicing.
