I was asking for specific feedback today from a recruiter on how I can better present myself to other recruiters. They didn't really have anything for me except to "be more confident" and that having confidence "solves all other issues." Uhhh okay so I have to somehow exude more confidence and that'll be the golden ticket? Got it 😂

Dude delete this. You've just given everyone the foolproof secret to crushing interviews and getting offers. Competition is going to be even harder to beat now.

Shoot my bad 😂

That doesn't seem like helpful advice at all haha. A little more specificity would have been nice lol.

Haha exactly. Won't be going to them for tips again which is maybe what they wanted 🤷‍♂️

Could be good advice to an extent.

Yeah like I see where they were coming from but obviously they weren't in the mood to share something more in-depth.

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!
