Hi Bharathi
This is a stupid question you are posting on behalf of your friend !!
Your friend is Bcom + MHRM and has 8 years of experience !! After acquiring so much of education and experience your friend is not sure what to do next ?? ... which field to pursue higher studies ??
Dear Bharathi ! please dont be mad at me !! instead of looking for reasons here and there, and from other professionals, she must look into her own strengths and interest !!
Read the advises here, Finance.. HR .. this.. that !! .. This advises are wonderful but would it apply to her ?? what does she want ??
I dont wish to dig too deep into human psyche !! but your friend is afriad of taking her own decisions !! Does she needs some external justification to decider her future !!!
and whats with the chase for academic courses and certifications to enhance a career !! .. she is fairly educated !! Bcom+MHRM .. has she done justice to this investments ?? and now want to pledge more resources (time, effort and money) into chasing another higher studies (which she is not even sure which one !!)
If she wants to catapult her career prospects, she may better pay attention to skill building !!
Communication Skills (Writing, presentation, public speaking)
Career Specific Skills (Eg : Auditing, A/C ERP, Budgeting, Forecasting, SCM, MM, Negotiations, Cost Accounting, Business Modelling, Valuation, Feasibility Studies, Market Research, Equity Research, Compensation & Benefits)
Computer skills (MS office Applications, Internet, A/C ERPs : SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, Peach tree, Tally)
Wish her luck and Strength !!
