Sitting for my GWEB at the end of May, no specific last minute tips other than make sure you’ve set up everything required for the exam, your indexes are ready to go and your desk is clean etc (if remotely proctored). Lastly, all the very best in it, you’ve spent a decent amount of time studying so don’t panic or think you’re anything less than ready 🙂

I bombed my practice exam even though I reviewed everything and had a detailed index. It was a rough experience.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

So lately I’ve been using the interns to get the engagement and work papers set up so I can go in and do the return. I don’t think it’s fair for their growth. I’ve seen managers do it so I’m taking part in it. But what do you think? It does help make me more energy but I can stop doing this too.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?
