Study Schedule for Your HR Certification Exam - Workology

Study Schedule for Your HR Certification Exam - Workology How to Create a Study Schedule for the HR Certification Exam How to Create a Study Schedule for the HR Certification Exam When it comes to studying for any of the HR certification exams from the SHRM-SCP, SHRM-CP, aPHR, PHR, SPHR, and GPHR, having a study schedule and plan helps to ensure you are properly prepared and making the most of your time as you prepare for the HR certification exams. Im a productivity nerd, and am always personally driving to squeeze more into the day. Im type A and have a horrible time saying no. I always think I can organize my time to squeeze in another obligation. Well, Im here to tell you that working and studying this way only hurts you, your stress level, your family, and your personal well-being. Thats not what this HR certification study schedule is. Our time is precious, and with proper time and preparation, we can create a study schedule that you can manage. I promise you that. 1.   PLAN A SCHEDULE OF BALANCED ACTIVITIES. There is more to life than passing the HR exam. You need to make time for family, work, obligations, and more importantly self-care in order to be your best self for your HR exam test day. 2.   PLAN ENOUGH TIME FOR STUDYING EACH HR TOPIC, CHAPTER AND CATEGORY.  Most college classes are planned to require about three hours work per week per credit in the course. By multiplying your credit load by three you can get a good idea of the time you should provide for studying in addition to time spent in class. 3.   STUDY AT A SET TIME AND IN A CONSISTENT PLACE. Establishing habits of study is extremely important. Knowing what and when you are going to study saves a lot of time in making decisions and retracing your steps to get necessary materials, etc. With the Ace the HR Exam course, I provide a study schedule for 12 and 20 weeks to make sure you are consistent and pacing yourself appropriately.   You need a dedicated space where you feel focused and relax to review and study for your SHRM and HRCI exams. Having an environment that is comfortable, clean, and pretty is really important for me to focus and do my best work. When Im finished focusing, I close the door and dedicate my time to things like my family, friends, or that never-ending to do list.   4.   STUDY IN CHUNKS. Study in 20-30 minute in increments using a concept called chunking. Break large amounts of information into smaller subsections. Identify similarities or patterns and organize the information into smaller concepts. It’s essentially categorization or creating an umbrella topic. For example, on a grocery list, you might list each thing under the grocery section. For HR, you might decided to chunk all Supreme Court decisions into a single twenty-minute review session.   5.   UTILIZE ODD HOURS DURING THE DAY FOR STUDYING. Pick opportunities when your brain is free to review material for the HR certification exam. I love studying and reviewing audio lessons of our Ace the HR Exam course. Use flashcards to review quick terms while you wait in line at Starbucks, and review materials 10-20 minutes before you sleep to allow for maximum memory and retention.   6.   LIMIT YOUR STUDY TIME TO NO MORE THAN 2 HOURS.  Cramming is never a good idea. You should never cram for the HR Exam. In order to retain and recall concepts best, study no more than 2 hours a day which is a challenge when your time is limited, however, if you commit to 30 minutes 5 times a week, over a 20 week period, you will be more prepared for the HR exam and you wont be cramming like a maniac.   7.   TRADE TIME.  When unexpected events arise that take up time you had planned to study, decide immediately where you can find the time to make up the missed study time and adjust your schedule for that week. Also, make good use of weekends and evenings. For example, I trade time for studying by spending less time in front of the television or on social media. Maybe you work with your spouse or partner to help out with tasks like meal preparation or grocery shopping. I leverage things like grocery delivery services and use a housekeeper to allow me to squeeze in a few more hours of studying and reviewing HR certification materials during my week. 8.   PROVIDE FOR SPACED REVIEW. Schedule one day per week to review the work in each of your courses and be sure you are up- ­to- ­date. I recommend using this time to review content, answer quiz questions, and review important terms that might have been tripping you up. Doing a consistent review will help lessen your stress levels and keep you from feeling as though you need to cram for the exam. The goal here is to space and plan for review time so you can before your best come HR exam time.   9.   REVIEW, REVIEW, RECITE, RECITE AND TEACH OTHERS. Reviewing the materials are extremely important but even more important to allow for the maximum knowledge retention at the fastest pace is to teach and talk about HR concepts and complex workplace scenarios with others. This is one of the reasons Ive developed the HR Inbox as part of the Ace the HR Exam course. Its important not just to be able to recall the content but to apply it allowing you to answer the situational judgement questions for the SHRM and HRCI exams. 10.   KEEP CAREFULLY ORGANIZED NOTES ON BOTH LECTURES AND ASSIGNMENTS. Good notes are the best basis for review. Im a fan of writing notes on book pages and jotting down thoughts either on a Google doc or a Moleskin notebook. This again, helps with your knowledge retention and those situational judgement questions.   11.   LEAVE SOME UNSCHEDULED TIME FOR FLEXIBILITY. This is the most important. You need to be flexible and no matter how well you plan and organize for the HR certification exams, you need to allow for some unscheduled time where you can go with the flow. Preparing for the HR exam is a marathon and not a sprint. Make time for the unexpected.   Taking your HR certification exam is not just about getting those coveted letters to place next to your name. Its about the foundational HR knowledge and your personal growth as you move towards this very important career goal. Its important to spend time in gratitude acknowledging the moment and nuances of the personal and professional journey you are on. This is where the real learning and growth happens instead of that pivotal moment where we achieve our goals or cross the finish line.

Four Crucial Things a Recruiter Looks For During an Interview 1. Could the individual carry out the responsibility? The main thing I'm searching for is can this individual carry out the responsibility? Do they have what it takes right currently to carry out the responsibility or would they be able to learn them? This is the place you come in as the applicant and reveal to me that data. I will pose inquiries that you truly need to come arranged with data so I don't need to continue examining and testing and examining. The more data you can give me right forthright about your abilities. 2. For what reason does this individual need to work here? The subsequent territory I'm continually taking a gander at is the reason does this individual need to work here? So this is your obsession, you can disclose to me why you need to work here. Why you're eager to be working at this organization? For what reason did you go after this job? 3. Will this individual fit with our way of life? The third territory I'm taking a gander at is this individual a decent culture fit? So this comes through in each inquiry that I pose and each answer that I get. I need to decide whether this individual is a decent culture fit. 4. What separates the competitor? The fourth region is actually the most significant. This is the thing that separates the up-and-comer from their different candidates. This comes in your groundwork for that telephone meet. Plunk down and truly consider what separates you from different up-and-comers. I realize you can't see different competitors yet it's truly what separates you in your industry. What separates you as the administrator. What separates you in your reasoning. I really pose these inquiries to numerous up-and-comers when I'm on the telephone with them. I will evidently say what do you think it is that separates you from other managers or your companions. Being set up with that question can help you a considerable amount. What the selection representative is truly thinking. I would likewise like to tell you that selection representatives need you to be effective in telephone interviews. I truly need each candidate that I address on the telephone to be effective and I need them to be the ones that I'm going to enlist, so coming into the meeting realizing that the enrollment specialist needs you to be fruitful takes off me a portion of the nerves that you may have had. Simply realize that they need you to be fruitful, and they need you to come arranged and offer them the responses that they're searching for. (Make it simple on them, alright?!) 3 Ways to Prepare For a Phone Interview 1. Get physically prepared. On the off chance that you are working I propose that you shut out 30 minutes before your meeting so you have around 15 minutes to get to the area you will do the meeting in. That will give you a tad of time to get to your vehicle or calm space. I realize that there could be a few people feeling regretful about leaving their present place of employment or leaving their office, and doing that telephone meet, however there's a motivation behind why you're possibly searching for a new position and you need to abandon the past. On the off chance that you need to go to your vehicle, ensure that it's peaceful. Ensure that you have some water with you, your resume, the sets of expectations. Get in the mentality of pondering your future, contemplating your future business and considering what you need in your next activity. That will prepare you to jump on the call with an enrollment specialist. I can reveal to you that I can tell on the off chance that someone is in that attitude or isn't prepared for the call. The vitality just comes directly over to my end and I understand that they are not prepared, not giving their best introduction and there's no way around it by then. We're on the call and they will need to get in the outlook. 2. Comprehend What Compensation You Want Record your remuneration. In case you're on a meeting with me, you need to give me some data on pay. You don't need to give me the specific number however I need a range or I need the number you won't go beneath. This is something where I see individuals get in a difficult situation since they arent readied and simply toss a number out. When the data is out there, it's out there and you can't take it back. Have your numbers arranged and all set will simply lighten the weight when that question comes up. What range are you focusing on, that data should be recorded. 3. Know the Skills You Want the Recruiter to Know You Have Record and comprehend what abilities you need the scout to think about you when they bounce off the call. You will have 30 minutes roughly and you need to ensure that they recognize what they have to think about you. Shouldn't something be said about the Actual Interview? Presently, the genuine meeting where, here and there I like to call it is a discussion. Truly is a discussion among you and your possible future supervisor. You truly need to have quite recently the discussion with them and you ought to be set up to discuss 80% of the time during that call. The explanation being is that this enrollment specialist and the recruiting chief need to get the data from you and you should be set up to have the option to give it.

The resume touted multiple leadership roles: captain of his basketball team, graduate assistantship and more!He was regularly complimented that his resume was a short story vs. an avalanche of facts or statements.HOW did he land so fast?He was confident in his story.While 11/12 people offering feedback were complimentary, he confidently (and courteously) eschewed advice that he should cut (critical) content from his resume. As well, he moved outside his comfort zone in reaching out to C-level leaders and hiring decision makers through social media and email to get voice and face time.This tenacity, blended with humility and talent, ultimately helped him land a position that he initially was rejected from for not being a perfect match to the job description.This new grads story is another great example of not relying on automated screening systems and getting out there and courteously hustling, putting your face into the wind in job search, whether its early in your career or advanced.~~~Photo via @eternalgr8ness
