Anyone actually keep their PHR active? I got my cert in 2013 and have done nothing since.

I am currently a medical biller and coder that just graduated. I am currently in an entry level position because I am still studying to get certified. I will have a year's work of exp in July and will sign a contract for another year because my boss is training me in more I don't know.

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?

25m. Consulting for 3 years. I got into a top 10 mba program for the fall, so normally a no brainer. With covid I’m not sure. Is there any benefit to an mba if it’s all online? Firm isn’t paying (and haven’t told them - I’m at a boutique so I’d have to quit) and no indication it’s it’s online or not. Very anxious about having to decide. What are others thinking?

Why PMP and not PRINCE2? Haven't done either but keen to know your reasons for choosing PMP.

Currently going to school for my cannabis certification but I rarely see any jobs that offer cannabis research. I currently work in a lab/greenhouse environment and would love to continue that line of work with hemp/cannabis. Yet again no luck whatsoever, just finding jobs as budtenders or running a dispensary. Does anyone know where I can find research-based cannabis jobs? I have a degree in horticulture with lab experience.

If wanting to move up in the HR Realm, which would be the better certificate? PHR or SHRM?
I am wanting to advance in Talent Acquisition and program management. I am looking for insight as to which would be the better path.

Would you say the the EM certification is difficult? What does it entail? I assume they aren’t configuring.

To my former enlisted vets, is it difficult to start your MBA in your 30s? I finished undergrad (29/M) last year and recently started working at a major consulting firm in DC. Since all of the M7 schools are outside of the metro area, I’m worried about leaving my job down the road for several years and taking on additional debt. I’d like to stay in this area because of family. I don’t know if a part-time MBA at McDonough is worth the squeeze. Does anyone else feel the same?

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?

Are Linked in courses worth taking? Are they reputable enough and recognised on a cv?

Current employer agreed to pay for some courses that are nessecary for my role but after 6 months they're yet to materialise. I'm considering pursuing the learning of my own and looking for work elsewhere once I've got a recognisable certificate of some sort.

Looking to advance in process analysis/change management type roles so thinking SQL, Six Sigma, TOGAF, project management... recommendations welcome

Anyone else get irked by these long winded MBA acceptance posts? Not trying to belittle their achievement, but seems unnecessary to write this long winded story about the journey to your network and then tag 20 people as a Thank You publicly. Why not just reach out with a sincere private note? It just comes off to me as a sort of humble brag…

I feel like I have a really negative relationship with my ADHD. As a child it really irritated and stressed out my mother so as soon as I mellowed out a little bit I always thought of it as a really negative thing. I still worry that if I talk too much or too fast, or forget something around her she'll get really annoyed or be angry with me. We've never talked about it but I think I might need to talk to a professional about it. Can anyone relate?

Hi colleagues!

I'm an experienced HRBP who's looking for some career advancement advice. I'm currently studying for my SPHR and looking to take the leap to HR Director roles. While I'm a strong HRBP, I've yet to manage a team. And while I train managers on people leadership skills, I myself, haven't had a chance to flex those muscles. Those in HR leadership, should I apply for HR Director roles even though I haven't managed a team?

Does anyone has any tips or suggestions on recruiting trade professionals? (Plumber, Electricians, and HVAC technicians? They are highly sought after but they aren’t really big Linkedin users in my area.

I’m taking the SPHR in less than 2 months and haven’t started studying for it. How difficult is it? I’ve been in HR for 20 years and have experienced ALOT in that time, although there are always employee relations scenarios that surprise me! How much do I really need to study for this? I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!

Fellow HR professionals: anyone ever been in a position where new leadership (VP of HR) came in to an otherwise seasoned team and is clearly not VP material, unprofessional, can’t be trusted, and two of the team members have already left within a yearish of her coming in because they can’t abide by the decisions she makes and how she operates? Basically, as a friend posed the question - “who does HR go and talk to when the head of HR is the problem?”

Would love some feedback this afternoon on creative ways to reach more applicants. I’m a recruiter for a small NGO and we’re looking to hire more recent graduates. Handshake, Indeed and LinkedIn have been our friends and I’ve also utilized various forums to attract applicants but want to reach out for some feedback from other recruiters. Thanks for the support in advance 😊

Any Benefits specialist looking for a job? North America specific?

Does anyone else check in with their employees within 45 days of their hire? If not, how are you guys going about employee experience and engagement/onboarding?

Why I’m recruiting you can reach out to candidates but when it’s time to get an update on applications recruiters and HR goes silent to respond back? So aggravating

Hoping to get my PHR in the next year or so. Outside of employer reimbursement, are there other opportunities for this to get funded? I know SHRM Foundation offers scholarships for the CP, but I am looking for PHR specific help. Thank you! :)

I've been in PeopleOps (mostly focused on TA Ops) for over 9 years now. I've somehow gotten by without a degree in HR or a certification, but would like to get some more education to continue to advance my career. What are your thoughts on PHR vs SPHR vs SHRM for someone with my years of experience and current role as a manager?

What would you do if you found out an executive was speaking poorly about you and your work performance to other employees? Is this a case where you would get HR involved? Have a conversation with the individual? Let it go? The comments are confirmed to have happened at an event that the offended party was planning/running, and the exec said negative comments to two other people at the company about the event and their work, and also said the person looked “too stressed.”

Does your company have a specified role or team who focuses on employee onboarding as their sole or primary responsibility? If so, how big is the company?

Hi everyone. Just looking for some advice.

I recently lost my job and my former employer notified me over a call, and the reason was that they’re just too busy to train me. I then applied for EI / unemployment but got told I wouldn’t be getting any money, because my employer said they had to let me go due to shortage of work. I know that’s not true because they hired 2 new people the following week.

What would be the appropriate steps to take in this situation? Thank you for any advice!

I am interested in getting my SHRM-CP certification this year and I was wondering which study methods and materials worked best for those of you who passed the exam. Also, what are your roles in HR?!
