SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

I’m currently working with a senior level HR candidate. This individual has a doctorate in business with a focus in HR, her SPHR, Federal, and private sector experience at the singer level, and has a fabulous personality. I’m curious is anyone else having difficulties play some candidates like this? At this point I’m starting to think it’s racial or her sex based of the lack of interest in this candidate. Any thoughts?

Do any of you have an employer that covers tuition benefits? I want to get a Ph.D. but I don't want to pay for it.

Moms with 3+ kids - what changed from 2 to 3+? We just found out the third is on the way, and while I'm thrilled, I want to make sure we set up for success. Husband also works full time so we have a full time nanny, but is 3 too much for one person? One will be in full time school by the time baby arrives. Anything you wish you had been prepared for or done differently?

Have you ever changed your mind a week after turning down the job offer? It’s so hard when you’ve got small children getting sick all the time and you want to start fresh with no PTO.

But I just called their HR Dept to ask if the job is still available. They just signed a contract with a temp agency. However, they’re looking into reversing it and will let me know.
Where would I go from here??? I’d essentially be giving my boss less than a week’s notice. And I look flippant. :(

I’m taking the SPHR in less than 2 months and haven’t started studying for it. How difficult is it? I’ve been in HR for 20 years and have experienced ALOT in that time, although there are always employee relations scenarios that surprise me! How much do I really need to study for this? I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!

I applied for a Director Learning and Development (L&D) role at McKinsey about a month ago via a referral. About a week ago, my McKinsey employee (who referred me) received an automated email saying that I had moved to the pre-screening process of the recruitment process and that I'll hear from the recruiter shortly.

It's more than a week now and I haven't heard back. Can anyone shed light on the process -- what to expect, timelines etc.

Good Morning, Beautiful People!

I'm currently a Staffing Specialist, very early in my career (9months). My long term goal is to become a Generalist. I feel fairly confident in my role and after much advice from you all, was able to have a conversation with my boss about pushing my SHRM-CP test to next Spring.

My new question is, in your opinion, what facet of the industry should I put focus on next (i.e. pay/compensation, benefits analysis, employee and labor law, etc...)?

I’m looking to move to the Phoenix AZ area and I have 2 years of experience as an HR Coordinator. I have been interviewing for HR generalist positions but I want to know if y’all think it is reasonable to be asking for somewhere in the $55-65k range when asked during interviews. I’m also a SHRM-CP.

Hi all! Does anyone know of other areas in HR that could potentially be good to pivot into? I currently work in Learning & I love it, but I’m still early in my HR career (4 YOE) and am interested in trying out new areas. Thanks in advance!

Recently started a new position. Great company, team and training has been smooth and over all transition. Unfortunately the commute is already overwhelming and won’t work long term. I’m tying to decide on whether I should resign to focus on job search or stay and job search.

& what do I tell potential employers about my current work situation. Do I say I’m unemployed or be truthful.

I want to be an HR generalist, but I am afraid I may have to take a step back in order to do so. I’ve been in recruiting and the talent management sector of HR for 5+ years. Now, I want to step into a generalist role, but realize I lack some aspects of experience that I maybe could have gotten as an HR coordinator. Do I need to take a step back/laterally move before becoming a generalist? I have my PHR. Thank you!

Are employers allowed to ask what your child’s disabilities are? Ex. Employee is out of work often for their disabled child. HR is requesting documentation of a diagnosis and the reason she misses work in the form of doctor’s note. Is it legal to ask what is wrong with the child? What documentation are they allowed to ask for legally without violating ADA?

Hi I recently accepted an offer. The HR manager asked me if I was vaccinated I said no. So she sent me a form to sign for “religious beliefs”. I choose not to be vaccinated. Any ideas on what I should write on the form or explain myself.
