Well, SHE came, she saw, and she took the prize! Congratulations to Samantha for winning the free HR certification flashcards from HRCP. She’ll be hearing from me via email shortly.
I really appreciate everyone who entered, and I’ve created a 75% discount on the Rock the PHR guide as a consolation prize. The discount will only be good until Friday at midnight (one and a half days), so snag it now if you’re planning to take the exam. The discount code is “random” (minus quotes).
Upcoming Contest/Giveaway/Whatever
Keep your eyes peeled for a new contest with a HRevolution flavor in the coming week! Subscribe now so you don’t miss out.
Oh, and I’m going to try to do more giveaways, contests, etc. If you have a good idea for one, drop it in the comments or email me. I’m always open to ideas.
A lot of us get frustrated when we want to do work on a level of 10 (while we’re stuck doing work at a level of 1). In this video I give you a suggestion I’ve learned from experience about how to make that level 1 work suck less.
Every once in a while I get the chance to write a little something for some of my friends. In an effort to repay their kindness, I share the links with you in case you’re interested in checking one out. If you’re interested in seeing some of my previous escapades, click here for the Guest Post Blitz archive.
Victorio at the Creative Chaos Consultant (gosh I love that name!) blog put out an interesting challenge early this year. He wanted people to either commit to their goals or shut up about it. It was appropriately named the Put Up or Shut Up Challenge. A few weeks later I shot him an email detailing my progress so far. Click here to see how I fared with the Put Up or Shut Up challenge.
April Dowling at PseudoHR is a fellow geek. When I asked if I could write a post that involved science fiction, zombies, and giant meteors (and still tie it back into the human resources profession, mind you), she was thrilled. Click here to see how science fiction makes me better at HR.
RocketHR, the blog that I run for my local SHRM chapter, has a post from yours truly every Monday. Recently I talked about how to look brilliant, a free HR eBook, and free HR podcasts. As of now, there aren’t any other contributors over there, so if you subscribe to RocketHR, you’ll be getting a little more me each week (and can’t everyone stand to get a little bit more of me?).
HRevolution has been on my mind lately, especially since we just opened up ticket sales for this year’s event. While it’s not exactly a guest post, I did design the HRevolution website, and that definitely took more effort than a guest post. I have to say that when I started in HR I had no idea I’d end up building blogs/websites as a side job. But I love it!
Anyone else read something cool they’d like to share? Maybe something you’ve read in the past week that really hit the spot? Drop it in the comments so everyone can benefit.
It’s getting to be that time for a large number HR professionals out there. They’ll be hitting the HRCI website and signing up for the PHR, SPHR, or GPHR exam. And I have something to help along the way. I’ve partnered with HRCP for a few months now, and I haven’t regretted it once. They have a great HR certification prep study guide, and you can save yourself the hassle of making flashcards by getting some from them. However, they’ve given me a pack of their flashcards to give away for free.
Free HR Certification Flashcards
Would you like a free set of HR certification flashcards? Here’s what you have to do.
Your story can be touching, funny, crazy, or eye-gougingly boring. It’s up to you. The deadline is 11:59pm on Wednesday, March 10th. The winner will be chosen randomly (thanks to Random.org) and notified via email. Depending on the popularity of the contest, I may host another in the near future. But we’ll see. So get cracking on your answers!
The HRevolution 2010 event is coming to Chicago on May 7th-8th! HR professionals from around the country will be converging for 24 hours+ of mind-bending, trend-setting discussions, yet space is limited, so… SIGN UP NOW!
This is the second rendition of the event, and it’s going to be twice as good as HRevolution 2009. Why is that? Well, we have past attendees who can speak out to the event’s powerful impact, some new additions to the planning crew, and an actual website this time around.
Well, SHE came, she saw, and she took the prize! Congratulations to Samantha for winning the free HR certification flashcards from HRCP. She’ll be hearing from me via email shortly.
