A friend who got laid off is getting his SHRM to boost his resume, any words of wisdom as he studies for the exam?

He’s been dealing with a lot personally / professionally so hasn’t put as much time into studying as he would have liked

Have to commit to studying to pass the test. I self studied for 4 months to pass. I made sure to take a lot of the practice tests before exam day. Some people sign up for group classes to prep.

I haven't gotten to the SHRM one yet but I've heard it can be difficult. Test prep resources are vital to passing so I hope he can make the time to use them and pass the first time round.

I had interviewed for an internship position at EY for technology consultant program for summer 2022 and got a call where they extended an offer. I wanted to know if I can defer the internship offer to fall 2022 or a later start date after summer.
I apologize as I cannot reply to a comment or DM on this platform to anyone, but thanks for your answers in advance.

I had a phone screening with a recruiter (who is a TD Industries employee- not outside recruiter) I asked specifically when they were looking to hire on, he said a month give or take a few weeks.

I sent a second follow up email asking if they had made any decisions on who will be asked for inperson interviews, he said....check comments plz 🙏

I have updated the resume since - though still wondering if there's anything else I can do to strengthen my case. Thank you in advance for any advice.

I have been laid off going on 3 months now and I’ve never felt so discouraged in my life. This job hunt for me has been frustrating and draining. It really has taken a toll on my mental health and maybe even confidence. I feel like I’m losing momentum. Any advice on staying positive throughout this journey? It’s so hard to stay upbeat and motivated at times.
