@Laurie – Anyone with two years of exempt-level HR can be a certified HR professional.

Hourly peons like me can only dream our little dreamy dreams about certification, then sigh and return to the cold reality of filing and sticking “Sign Here” tags on numerous bits of paperwork.

And we don’t get doughnuts.

@Perrik — pLease, anyone can be a certified HR professional. It’s not rocket science, yo.

@Lisa — Thanks!

@Rob — I should probably rephrase this post, eh?

@Bryan — It’s much easier for me to take the test than figure out how to acquire enough credits. Maybe next time, yo. I have three years. PS – Who the hell got rid of the lifetime certification?? JERKS!

You are taking the exam for the 3rd time? Why in the heck did you just get your 60 credits? I will never take that thing again. Pure hell. Good luck though. You know you can do a bunch of SHRM webinars and get easy credits or go hang out at your local chapter and claim those as well?

Lemme get this straight: You’re inviting the Blogosphere to join you in a dimly lit hotel room? That sounds great!

Love to join you, but I’ll be getting things organized at the office before I wander off for a 2-day SHRM class (Essentials of HRM – for I am but a mere HR coordinator who knows little of the glory of benefits, compensation, Taft-Hartley, doughnuts at meetings, or the secret HR handshake).

Don’t forget to visit your Starbucks on Tuesday to find out just what the bleep the “Venti big” event is.
