[quote=Anonymous]I don't know what SPHR stands for.  But, if this information is useful and necessary for the people that you interact with professionally then you should use it.  I am assuming that you never listed your Master's degrees because that information is not that helpful since it is conveyed as a given of your job title.  If SPHR stands for some kind of special certification that it would be helpful to know you have within this field then use it.

For example, if I am looking for a therapist, I care that the person is a LCSW because it impacts whether or not the person takes insurance, so this is useful information.

I agree that if you are listing your SPHR, go ahead and list your Master's degrees in this context.

There will be people who come on here and tell you not to list anything because it is "obnoxious" and that would be true if you were talking about giving this information out at a playground or a church supper.  But, for professional interactions where people understand what the letters convey in terms of liscensing, then you should use them. [/quote]
