In an interview I attended, someone asked, 'How do you handle stress at work?'
While this is relevant, I wonder if there’s a more engaging way to uncover a candidate’s coping strategies and resilience. Thoughts?

Hello All,

I bought CER006 on Nov 21 with my current company email id and completed one certification. I am leaving my current organization and I still have 9+ months time left for CER006. My company says the s user id provided by them will get de-activated once I leave (in a week). I have not claimed the amount also. Is there any way I can transfer the certification to my personal email I'd so that I can write other exams in time left?
