Passed the SPHR this morning. Going to spend the next couple of months getting this kit squared away. I kind of put it on the back burner until I took/passed the test.

@motleygunner do you already have your PHR or SPHR?

Nice... Good luck! Do you have a PHR? Wondering what everyone else thought of that exam.

Thanks, you as well. Yup have the PHR, wasn’t much of the fan of the exam. It was very tedious, and varied based upon experience, cause on certain questions everything was right but you had to choose “the most right”

It is done with though
 
I wonder if anyone missed out on getting their packets in on time with the date change. Thank goodness for my OR, he is on top of everything! Best of luck to any fellow applicants. I know our chances of selection are low, but there's always a chance!

This is my first time running up for this and its been a long process and now counting the days until results are released. If I don't get in this round I plan on getting more experience with leadership and more certifications.

6+ Years in Federal HR as a Management Analyst (Risk Management, Evaluations, Audits, Staffing and Classification,Management Consulting,)
BS Business Admin May 2011 GPA 3.23
MBA May 2016 GPA 3.30
PHR Certified Oct 2017
2 Interviews with reserve HR Commanders both 10/10

Detractors -
No military experience (besides JROTC back in the day)
limited leadership experience
 
My packet is submitted also... Snapshot of qualifications:

The Good:

18 years of management experience, including 5 years leading department of 200+ employees in current role
PHR Certification
Six Sigma Black Belt
MBA w/ 3.95 GPA

The Bad:

No prior military experience

Good luck to all, HR is incredibly difficult to get selected for even among highly qualified candidates (5-8% selection rate).

I believe I have a competitive packet and have confidence in my abilities, but given the nature of this board I have absolutely no expectations of being picked.

Impressive. I have low expectations and also have confidence in my abilities. My C.O. put in his Rec that I perform OIC duties when he can’t come in with outstanding results. We haven’t had an admin officer, so I️ have been doing the job for 3 yrs. I’m hoping doing the job I’d have as a JO would outweigh the MBA...plus I’m waiting for the 5 yrs of officer recruiting to pay off. Besides just going grey. Lol. Who did your interviews and how were they scored?

I had my interviews with O-5 HR Reserve Officers. I don't know my specific scores but I think they went well.
