Anyone here taken the PHR certification test? I have a bachelor's in HR and have worked in HR for a couple of years and am considering taking it. My boss said she didn't think it was to helpful to the HR professionals she knows but I wanted to see what everyone else's thoughts were. I work in state government so maybe it would be more helpful in the private sector??
Thanks for any advice!:)
Re: PHR Certification
I know when we were looking for a HR Manager for my company (privately owned), we wanted someone who had the PHR certification. It never hurts to have a certification that promotes your knowledge in your job field.
Good luck on the exam!
I think it helps in the private sector when you're job searching. If you're planning on staying where you are and they don't see any value in it, I'd say wait to take it. If you are planning on leaving shortly to potentially go to a company who may see some value then do it.
I think it can't ever hurt to prove to yourself you have that knowledge but if you're doing it for a raise it sounds like that isn't going to happen.
