Just got rejected for a role I felt perfectly qualified for. Every box? Checked. Even had experience with the exact systems they use. I thought the interview went well, and then rejection email with no explanation. I’m trying not to spiral, but it’s hard not to take it personally when you know you could’ve crushed it. How do you bounce back from those?

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

Hey fishes, recently got an offer of 245k plus a bonus, but no specificity and at least 3% cost of living annual raise. My current job I make 150k plus a 20% bonus and an annual cost of living raise anywhere from 2-3.5%. Have been in my current position about a year.
