Question: I had completed my MBA in JNTU with finance and marketing specializations. I like to work in finance departments. Please tell me some short term courses which would help me in getting job. Shall I do fico course?

Answer: Instead of looking for a course you can approach for an opportunity to work as a trainee with consulting companies in the financial advisory to Organizations. Alternatively you identify people working in Finance Departments (through your seniors or personal network. Also use social networking sites like – www.linkedin.com to identify and make friendship online). You can approach Small and Medium Size organizations have a specific finance department who would require MBA-Finance. Doing a FICO course may not help. Otherwise you can understand the SAP-FICO from your friends, which would help to use the same if the finance department where you work, has the software. Finance department of companies are basically users hence you should have appreciation only.

MBA after M.Sc. Computer Science

Question: At Present I am working as Junior DBA (Data Base Administrator). My qualification is M. Sc. (Computer Science). I am going to do MBA. How far it will be useful for my future career?

Answer: I must appreciate you for the thought. You did not mention your experience. However, I have noticed very few after working as DBA would like to do MBA; few of them did their MBA distance to save time, money and efforts instead of investing full time. However that would help for internal promotion and growth if the organization were progressive. MBA always makes the person to apply your experience in Business for better results. Your task for full time MBA would be good if you have 2-3 years of experience and the Institute you choose has focus on Practical application of Business. There are definitely many opportunities in Technology companies where you can apply your knowledge on job. Wish you good luck.
