I just had this conversation with my supervisor 3 days ago. I’ll be taking the PHR at the end of next quarter. She said once I get about 6 months of experience with the certification under my belt I’ll move up to generalist. I have 2 years of recruitment experience and 1 full year of coordination experience under my belt right now.

I would suggest trying to move up in your position now, or making sure you have a solid 2 years old coordinator/HR experience before submitting to generalist positions.

I'm about to hit 3 years of experience and will be taking the PHR once I hit that 3 year mark. I have the same goal so my manager wants me to take the PHR and continue to get experience in all HR disciplines.

I haven't interviewed in years and feel absolutely out of place and underconfident. Not able to bring my A game to the table (I can't pitch myself as ideal candidate for position).

I have very strong profile for my experience. All my performance reviews continuously state I'm going above & beyond and theres nothing they can think of suggesting I do different. Just can't interview well

Hi all! To qualify for an L1A visa, do you have to be a senior manager / executive level or does it work as long as you’re a manager?

Any thoughts/advice? I’m from 🇰🇷 :) TYI!!
