How Did You Discover CHRP Philippines
“I think it was just through online search when I was looking for HR-related training programs. Then I enrolled for the certification course.”
What Made You Decide to Pursue CHRP Certification
“I believe that having the CHRP certification was an edge to (sort of) mark the credibility of my HR practice.”
Did a Mentor, Colleague, or Experience Push You Toward Getting Certified
“No. I just looked on my own.”
Was There a Specific Career Goal You Were Aiming For at the Time
“Yes, I thought that if I become a Consultant, having certifications will solidify my profile.”
CHRP Certification Experience
“I’ll just combine my answer for the above. Since I was on the track of becoming a Consultant, I was intentional in maintaining CHRP, as evidence of my credibility as an HR professional. As I presented CHRP as one of my professional credentials, it helped boost my image as I presented the services that I can do for clients. So I think for the clients, I sensed their confidence in my capabilities and being CHRP helped in that aspect.
I would recommend CHRP to other HR practitioners as a testament of their commitment to the profession. I mentored a number of HR practitioners in the past, all of which started out as Recruiters as well, and are now thriving as HR Managers. I have encouraged them to take additional credentials because it’s not only their experience that would matter, but their ability to continuously grow in the practice is an indication of perseverance to improve all the time.”
