Well, it's official! We are professionals!
Today I took the PHR (Professional in Human Resources) exam, and Ryan took the SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources-- slightly cooler than the PHR) and we passed!
I love that we are both in the same profession because we were able to study together for the last few months and were able to help each other understand all things HR... not to mention we both had an excuse to be lame and stay inside to study every spare minute.
We did not do very well at all on the practice tests and only 54% of people pass their first time, so we were not feeling too great about it the night before, but let me tell you... it was such a relief to be done (after 3.5 hours-boo!) and see "pass" instead of "fail."
As the day has gone on, it has slowly been sinking in that we are done. Completely. No more school, no more tests... nothing! WAHOO!!!!!!!!
Here's Ryan proudly showing his results!
I realize I look completely nasty in this picture, but who am I trying to impress here on this blog?
And these, my friends, are the books that cost an arm and a leg (well, cost our companies an arm a leg, thank goodness. $1500 each for the materials and test!) that we have had our noses buried in for far too long...
The End. In so many (good) ways!
