I get what I serve? I tried to give you a graceful out of the conversation, but you can’t help yourself. FYI, A tort is a legal term. Retort is probably what you meant. You can’t blame autocorrect on everything. If you can’t take criticism you are in the wrong business. Apology rescinded.

It’s like buying a car after you’ve been leasing it for a while. Feels wrong homie.

First time poster here!

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
