Getting certified? Check out the SPHR-PHR Self Study Course from upstartHR!Why do we all do it, tweet, blog, facebook, Google + and Linkedin I have an undergraduate degree in Communication. Some might argue that my BA simply exists so that institutions can crank out diplomas. (Said another way communications ain’t rocket science.) While this may be true, there is actually something to studying, understanding [...]
