If a job requires a cover letter I don’t apply to it lol

What is this? I’ve never in my life written a “motivational letter” for an application.

I apply because I want the job. What more reason do you need

Absolutely. A great way to screen candidates out is to remove those that haven’t submitted a cover letter.

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - lauren
