Jessica Miller-Merrell: [00:02:16.93] So in this episode, we’re talking about global HR topics. We’re going to be answering questions, or if you’re going to take the CP, the SCP, the aPHR, the PHR, or the SPHR, you are going to be talking about global. These are going to be on the exam and, frankly, our world is more global. Now that we have kind of went through the pandemic, I feel like there is so many more things happening at companies and it’s happening in different countries. This is an area that is growing. Not only is it part of your HR certification exam, but it is growing. So it’s important for you depending upon if you are having employees work at your organization as employees or you’re using a third-party company like a PEO or an employee of a record company, that you need this information. So we are going to be talking about global topics today. These are important for you, whether you are at a company that has global employees now or you’re going to plan on stepping into a role like that into the future.

Jessica Miller-Merrell: [00:03:24.83] The first topic that we’re going to be talking about is going to be visas, which falls under the global topic, also somewhat of the employment law. But I’m going to be talking about this because this is a topic that works for SHRM or HRCI. My friend, Jason Finkelman, he’s an attorney that focuses on immigration. He’s going to walk you through really visas in five minutes. It’s going to help you get some basic information about visas. This is important, again, for hiring people in from other places to come and work at our organization. So listen in to a quick five-minute visa review session with Jason Finkelman.

Jessica Miller-Merrell: [00:04:04.62] Give us a rundown, just a short. And I know I’m asking for a lot rundown on immigration and visas, maybe for CEOs or listeners or people like myself who might have been out of the visa game for a while. What’s this all about and why is it so darn complicated?

Jason Finkelman: [00:04:23.61] Yeah, so immigration from an employment standpoint basically starts with an international person needing a temporary work visa to come here and lawfully work in the US. It’s challenging for HR individuals and companies to secure those visas because there’s not a lot of options within the immigration system to get those work visas for foreign nationals. The requirements, even though there’s a variety of, of work-based visas, the requirements for those visas are very strict and, and frankly, they’re archaic. They’re based on the way our country was running several decades ago. And so those laws really haven’t changed for many decades. And the only ways to get people the work visas they need are to fit them into categories that are old-fashioned. And yes, there’s some creativity within the law to fit people within those categories, but there’s not a wide variety of options to bring highly skilled foreign nationals to the US or even for entrepreneurs and startups to come here to the US and grow their businesses. So there’s often a lot of challenges for HR people to get those visas because they’re trying to fit sometimes a square peg into a round hole.

Jessica Miller-Merrell: [00:05:58.95] Now Jason’s video and his quick review session on visas is also on our YouTube channel. So we’re going to link to it here in the show notes of the podcast. This information might be helpful for you to review again and do it a different way, but it’s also maybe helpful to share with managers. I feel like they really don’t know what they don’t know, so we have to introduce them to different ideas. When you access our HR exam prep course, Ace The HR Exam, you will get information that’s designed to help you prepare for your HRCI or SHRM certification exam, including this video on visas. You’ll also get other information, too. We have over 140 lessons, over 1250 HR exam test questions, and I’m super excited because we now have a monthly subscription that you can access for $49.99. Visit Ace The HR Exam and you can learn all about our new subscription or you can purchase access for 12 months. That’s AceTheHRExam.com.

Break: [00:07:03.79] We’re going to take a little reset. I know we are flying through this podcast, but it’s time to take a reset as we move into our next segment here at the HR Certification Podcast powered by Workology.

HR Glossary Term(s) – Push and pull factors & Globalists

Jessica Miller-Merrell: [00:08:17.60] We are moving into another segment on the HR Certification Podcast where we review a glossary term for you. And we do this for every single episode. Now remember that all these terms are covered in the basic knowledge base for SHRM and HRCI. I want to make it easy for you. And when it comes to becoming familiar with HR terms that are part of the HRCI or SHRM knowledge base, it’s important for you to review them and repeatedly. We want to move them from the short-term to the long-term memory and use different learning styles. This is one of the reasons I offer the Ace The HR Exam course, because we have audio, we have short videos, I encourage note-taking, We have our flashcards, digital and physical long-form lecture content. It’s important for you to focus on a single term or subject matter area and review that so that you can master it and move on. You want to pick the item that is more likely to be on the exam. For example, if you struggle in talent acquisition and that’s a large percentage of the exam, you’re going to start there. This is how we structure our course at Ace The HR Exam.

Jessica Miller-Merrell: [00:09:24.64] Let’s get to the review of our HR glossary terms for this episode. Today we are focusing on global topics. Remember, this is a global review. I’m going to review two different terms and I will repeat them twice for you. The first term is Push and pull factors. These are factors which initiate and influence the decision to emigrate or migrate, either by attracting those candidates to another country or encouraging them to come to that country by also stimulating immigration. Push and pull factors. Push and pull factors are factors that initiate and influence the decision to migrate or emigrate, either by attracting these candidates to another country or by encouraging them to relocate and by stimulating immigration. Next term is Globalists. Globalists are someone who believes that economic policy and foreign policy should be planned in an international way rather than according to what is best for one particular country. This is Globalists. Globalists are someone who believes that economic and foreign policy should be planned in an international way rather than according to what one single country, what is best for one single or particular country. That’s Globalist.

HR Test Question Review for SHRM and HRCI Certification Exams

Jessica Miller-Merrell: [00:10:56.34] Are you ready? Here we go. We are moving into another segment of the HR Certification Podcast where we review a test question, and we do that for every single podcast episode. So you can go back and listen to all our episodes and get multiple test question review. These are all test questions that cover the knowledge base for SHRM and HRCI, whether you’re the BoCK or the BASK, okay? We cover it all. Before I share this question, I do want to give you a quick review of my test question framework. Now, more about this information is available on our Workology YouTube channel or inside the Ace The HR Exam course. I’m going to link to the YouTube channel, the YouTube channel episode, so that you can get access to that. Now, there are five different steps in the HR test question framework. Step one is to read each question slowly and concisely. You don’t want to waste time. Read it once. Step two, identify the HR competency that the question is asking about. This will help you organize your content. Step three is to eliminate the wrong answers. Eliminate those from your even thought process. Step four is WWSD or WWHD. What Sould SHRM Do or What Would HRCI Do? You want to think about the test question, who was writing that question, from their point of view there is only one answer. Step five is to go with your gut. All right? So let’s get to this episode’s featured HR certification exam practice test question. This test question continues in our global theme. So it’s a global test question. I really want to give you a diverse set of things to review, which is why we’re focused in this particular area. We do have more test questions available in our Ace The HR Exam subscription. There’s over 1250. So let’s get to it. What is another word for internalization? Is it A) Urbanization, B) Globalization, C) Localization, or D) None of the above.

 What is another word for internalization?

Jessica Miller-Merrell: [00:13:04.36] What do you think that is?

A) Urbanization

B) Globalization

C) Localization

D) None of the above

Jessica Miller-Merrell: [00:13:14.98] What do you think the answer is? Let’s drum roll, please. The answer is B. Because of the rapid development of these drivers, internationalization is spreading faster than ever, and it has led some observers to refer to it as globalization, okay? Now it’s okay if you got this one wrong. If it’s a new term or maybe you’re just having a rough day. No worries. Just make a note for yourself. Get a handout. Get out your trusty notebook, make a note, and then review, make a note to review this for later. This is going to go into your daily topic review. I do have more test questions and if you’re interested, you can go to Ace The HR Exam and purchase access or you can grab our 25 free test questions at HRTestQuestion.com. I want to make it easy for you. I know you can do it together. We can help you ace your certification exam.
