Torn Between HR and Business Development: Seeking Advice on Career Direction

arjunhb
I have completed my MBA in HR but I am looking to choose a business development profession. I would appreciate guidance on whether this decision is correct or should I continue with an HR profession?

Please help me.

Dear Arjun,

If you are confident in handling a job in Business Development (BD), then there is nothing wrong per se. I have seen individuals working as Purchase Managers or Operations Managers even with qualifications in MBA (HR).

Nevertheless, you need to upgrade your knowledge about sales. To achieve this, consider taking 1-2 day capsule courses on selling skills and reading books on sales.

All the best!
