I’d just ball out on bday/Christmas gifts for them. They’ll remember those every time they look at them instead of paying for something consumable that they’ll forget about.

A nice trip without having to fly!

New appliance, pick from: dishwasher, washer and dryer, smart fridge or otherwise really nicely decked out fridge, chest freezer, double oven.

Go splurge on a family dinner, somewhere expensive they've wanted to go

Depends - one really nice way is to write them a big fat check on what you would have spent on rent the last few months

Sounds good guys Thanks. All nice ideas but kind of want to stick to below $500 for now

Treating them to dinner is a great way to start if you’re going under $500 but alternatively maybe do a yearlong or 6 month wine/drink of their choice subscription? This is assuming they drink but could be a fun thing for them to get every month vs. a one time big purchase

Hi All, I’m thinking about getting certified in change management but not sure if I should go the Prosci route or CCMP route. CCMP is a lot cheaper compared to Prosci but would it measure up just the same?

I guess it would be similar to the discussion of the SHRM-SCP vs SPHR.

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience. I am graduating this December with my BBA and am ready to leave the job I’m in now. I’ve been applying for a range of positions I qualify for and nothing so far, which I expected. I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅
