Wooooooooohoooooooooooooooo!

HRQ

After five months of Saturday morning classes and tons of evening and weekend studying, I did it!

I passed my SPHR exam today!

Woooooooohooooooooooooo!

Getting on a plane first thing tomorrow to visit my family for a week. Will miss you guys, but will also be busy hanging out at the lake, drinking wine, making s'mores, and of course playing with my kids.

Be back Monday 6/30. Will see if I can get in some Forum time before then, but don't count on it... x:D

Make sure you ask for your "senior" discount at any food establishments that you visit.

Dude, you are a month older than me, "S" or not... x;-)

Thanks, all! Dang, I never should have admitted this, because now I will be expected to act like I know something on the more serious sections of the Forum... x:D

So how did it compare with the PHR exam?

Great job Q! We know how much study you had to put in to accomplish this milestone. And don't worry about acting more "scholarly"; on this forum it would be a negative trait!!! And make sure you get new business cards printed so you can brag! You earned it.

Congratulations, HRQ! That's a great accomplishment. You can be proud of yourself :0)

HRQ

Thanks again, all!

Finally taking a minute to breathe after trying to catch up all week.

Paul, I haven't taken the PHR. I wonder how different it really is from the SPHR. I'll sell you my study materials cheap if you want them. Already hilighted and underlined and everything...

I just read an article about certifications and how valuable they are. Evidently not very, unless you put it on your resume for a job search. That's OK, I am just glad I passed!

Where did you do your Saturday classes in Phoenix? Did you find them beneficial? We are doing some reorganization and restructuring and we have an employee that is very interested in doing this. I thought maybe I could help get some information to her.
Thanks, and have a great Wednesday.

The classes did help. We are members of the AZ Employers Council, who put on the class, and als provides all kinds of HR support. What is your email address? I'll send you their info and tell you more about the class experience.

Thanks so much.

I just recertified as a lowly PHR so it will be 2 and a half years before I begin studying. I will probably need new books by then because FMLA will be paid, ADA will cover text message anxiety, and white male protestants will finally be a protected class.
