		<description>I like the Newseum and I like mugs with cool logos.  We used to live across the street from the Newseum while in college (Riverplace)... fun stuff!

Anyway...

In working with my clients it seems that they almost always request the PHR or SPHR.

So, my question is this...

We wake up on Monday and SHRM is gone - no more fancy designations.  What would you recommend as the new benchmark for technical competency?  I know that there are some other functional tests (CCP, CEBS) and I would be interested in your thoughts on those as well.

@Jimmy - I&#039;m not judging the quality of the tests... just trying to figure out how else you would measure across a large group of professionals without drastically increasing the time that is spent to figure out competency from hands-on experience.</description>

		<description>What if this is just my first step in total HR domination?

Have you thought about what you could do with several million dollars and the platform to make a difference? I have thought about it, and I&#039;m interested in going where there&#039;s the best opportunity to make a change and shake things up.

Go big or go home, poseurs. ;)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m thinking of a word. (HINT: It starts with &quot;S&quot; and ends with &quot;ellout&quot;) :-P

Sounds like you had a good time, Laurie!</description>
