Hi Fishes, I’d like some advice, does a PMP cert hold any weight in HR? Thinking about getting mine and using it as leverage to transition into more of a people programs role managing HR projects. Background: 1 year of recruiting and 2 years of employee engagement, people programs, culture. Previous to that, a few years of project management exp. Thanks!

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
