Not just a flash in the pan
More than a decade ago, when our company was still in its infancy, my husband suggested that we create a set of flash cards to accompany our HRCP Program. I told him it was a dumb idea, that HR professionals, who are (almost without exception) grown-ups, would not use something so juvenile. “Aren’t flash cards rather third-grade-ish,” I believe was my reply. Turns out, I was wrong. Dead wrong.
Thousands of people have since used our HR QuikStudy Flash Cards to prepare for the PHR and SPHR certification exams. So, I have had to admit that my husband was right (about this, anyway). More people than I could possibly have imagined have used our flash cards to learn and review the terms and definitions relevant to the HR field. True, not many of the PHR and SPHR questions are purely definitional, but if you don’t recognize a term (such as “QDRO” or “false positive”), you’ll struggle to correctly answer the question. So, learn those definitions! If you don’t get help here, please, get help somewhere.
Oh, and as for my husband, any woman would be lucky to have him. And not just for the flash cards.
