Hi there,
After several years of putting it off I’ve finally committed to start the Chartered level Experience Assessment.
I’m a generalist and work in a consultancy capacity for smaller business. Prior to that, an in-house HR manager.
I wonder if there are members on the same journey who wanted to join a study group? Others who would consider sharing their experiences?
Rebecca
I’m currently doing my EA for Chartered Member and would love to join a discussion group! My email is clairepurdie@hotmail.com
Congrats Imran! Be great to learn from your experience! Is there anything you would do differently if you were to do it again? How was the professional discussion? Did it really take 3 hours?!
Thanks, Leah! Indeed, it does give you a head spin. Once you start absoring the info, it becomes easier. Please do reach out if you would need any support. Happy to help. Good luck!
Thanks. Yes sure, I would certainly advise to keep the focus on "I" and not "We" when quoting examples. The center of attention is "You" during this assessment, as in what particularly did you executed/ achieved and what the impact was.
Allocate sufficient time. It takes longer than you expect (at least it did for me).
Make sure your nominees (stakeholders nominees) are on top of things. I had to chase one of the nominee for submission. :D
Feel free to reach out if you would need any support.
Hi Rebecca, Claire and Imran, my name is Stephanie and I can't explain how delighted and relieved I am to find this CIPD Community discussion group thread for the Chartered level EA route. I too have taken several years to get around to embarking on this journey and I'm almost a week in and feel out of my depth despite having a number of years generalist HR experience under my belt. I just can't get my head around the best approach to some of the questions in order to collate my examples - I have only just started tackling the Knowledge & Impact report Q1! I'd be so grateful to join a study group to both gain support and give some in return to others. I have never used a community group before - is this the best way to keep the conversation going, or is the study group offline? Thanks very much and I hope to hear from you soon. p.s very well done on your achievement Imran!
Can I ask a question as Im tying myself up in a few knots. In the Candidate Guidance Pack they kindly give some examples as to how to structure the impact for your answers in the Knowledge and Impact report.
Did you use this template to also answer the behaviour questions?
Leah, that is a very good question. I would say yes, use that as I didn't (I did but occassionaly) and the feedback report I received, did mention that in some way or at least I could deduct that probably that is what is being mentioned.
