Hello,
I am a graduate. I have completed my graduation in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Now, I am looking forward to starting my career in HRM. I would like to take up a short-term course in generalist HR, get an entry-level job, and then after a few years of experience, pursue a Full-time MBA in HR or Executive MBA.
I would like to know whether this decision is useful or not because some people are saying that taking up a short-term course in HR is not useful at all. They claim it is hard to secure a job for a graduate with these short-term courses and insist that an MBA is a necessity to start a career in HR. Please suggest the best solution.

Hi,
What you have heard is correct - why would a short-term course be preferred over a full course? There will be gaps in your studies because certain aspects would not be taught in short-term courses - you will end up spending your money unnecessarily.
Education is not cheap. I would suggest you go for a full-time course from a B or C institute if your finances permit. If finances are an issue, then look at a part-time course.
Correspondence/distance learning MBAs should be avoided as most organizations discriminate against such degree/diploma holders.
Hope this helps.
