Is Combining a CIS Degree with an MBA in HR and Management a Smart Move?

Question:

I have a CIS degree in programming, but I am continuing my education with an MBA with an emphasis in HR and General Management. What do you members think of my education? Is this an odd combination?

A: Frankly, it's not an odd combination at all. In fact, the diversity would lead to more openings for you as the changing scenario demands multi-level skills. Besides, it would help one professionally to assess the situation and make creative decisions.

Hi Rajat, Thank you for the reply and the encouraging words. I hope to find a job soon in the field of HR. Is there some type of network or, as they say, "hook-ups" for employment opportunities on this board?

Best regards,
Alcarlo

As Rajat says, diversity in experience is a big plus. I am sure it will help leverage your job search. In case you aren't aware, try SHRM job board as well as http://www.jobs4hr.com/seekers/search/index.cfm.

Best of luck.
