Thoughts on obtaining an APR? I am thinking an APR can help give me an extra push in the corporate world. I have 7 - 9 years experience. How do leaders perceive a more junior person receiving the credentials--are they impressed or worried that the person with new and extra education will want to rock the boat?

Have never seen them matter. If getting one improves your skills that’s the only real benefit you should expect.

I highly recommend it. Even though I have +20 years of experience, I learned a good deal, and it gave me a reason to refresh my skills. It was a worthy investment in myself, even if it doesn't propel me higher.

I highly recommend it! It’s an impressive milestone and is being more recognized by employers nationwide. I applied for several roles that asked for the APR. I’m happy to provide more information. It also demonstrates to others in the industry that you know standard PR protocol. Many who say it’s useless are operating below what’s expected across the industry.

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.
