And Here’s Why:
You’re an HR Rising Star!
You have worked to meet the required combination of education and experience that are the pre-reqs for the PHR exam.
You embody ambition, dedication, and upward momentum. It’s time you realize your potential for growth! Your time is now! It’s all within your reach!
You’re motivated and ready to start taking the steps needed to move your career forward.
PHR is exactly what you need to skyrocket your HR career.
According to HRCI, “To be eligible for the PHR you must meet one of the following conditions for education and/or experience: Have at least one year of experience in a professional-level HR position and a Master’s degree or higher, Have at least two years of experience in a professional-level HR position and a Bachelor’s degree, OR Have at least four years of experience in a professional-level HR position.” Based on your responses to the Quiz, you meet these requirements. In contrast, SHRM-CP does not require any prior experience or education, so anyone can take it. Therefore, PHR is often considered a higher-level certification than SHRM-CP. Furthermore, because the PHR is a much longer established certification, many senior HR leaders have the PHR or SPHR, and prefer it over the SHRM-CP.
You’re ready to learn, to create your strong foundational knowledge, where you can build your HR career upon! You want that strong HR knowledge and expertise.
You know that without the expertise, and deep HR knowledge, education, and experience, you can’t progress further in your career.
That means – the next step for you is getting the PHR! This is just what you need!
Job Opportunities.
According to softwareadvice.com, “42% of companies noted that an HR certification was either preferred or required.”
More Money. $$!
According to a recent SHRM article, “Research shows that HR professionals who earn the SHRM Certification report higher salaries — 14 percent to 15 percent higher than their peers without a certification.” According to Payscale, the average base salary for PHR certified HR professional was $4,000 higher than the average base salary for SHRM-CP certified HR professional.
Promotions! Career Development!
According to Payscale’s study, “HR certifications matter most in the earliest phase of an HR pro’s career.... 82 percent report they have been promoted in the last five years, versus just 68 percent of those who aren’t certified.”
My Origin Story:
It was the late 90’s and I was loving life as a tech recruiter! And then, the Dot com bubble burst! With all of my requisitions frozen, I knew that I needed to make a change to ensure my career stability! I didn't have a safety net. We didn’t have much growing up, and there was no family home to run to. So I took 2 steps that changed my life FOREVER!
1. I reached out to our new HR Manager. We were just acquired by Intel! I told her that I wanted to move into HR, and asked for her support. While she couldn’t promise me a role in HR, she provided me all of the help and support she could. She created an HR Development Plan with me, allowed me to sit in on the HR meetings that were possible, gave me HR projects that helped me to develop my HR skills AND
2. I enrolled in an HR certification prep course, took the exam, passed, and became HR certified!
If we haven’t met, I’m Ashley Huynh. My early experience in HR shaped my HR career development. I believe HR certification is the pathway to HR career success. And I realize, I couldn’t have done it alone. If Suzanne, the HR Manager at Intel, hadn’t provided me that mentorship and support, I wouldn’t be where I am today! And that is why I am so passionate about supporting other HR professionals.
My mission is to support HR professionals' continual learning and to become experts in the HR field. I provide training, support, and mentorship to HR professionals through my HR training courses and programs, as a speaker at PIHRA's annual HR Conference (CAHR23) and PIHRA's California Employment Law Update (CELU23), mentoring HR students for Cal Poly Pomona's Mentorship Program, and early HR professionals for PIHRA DTLA’s Mentorship Program and a judge at the CalSHRM HR Student Case Competition. I have built my expertise over 25 years as a legal, business, and human resources leader for start-ups, mid-sized organizations, and Fortune 100 companies.
