With the organised sector back on a hiring spree according to a recent Ma Foi Employment Trends Survey, job prospects for all MBA specialisations appear favourable. However, the choice of specialisation should depend largely on your career goals and on the kind of person you are, your abilities and area of interest. HR management is an organisational function and on an equal footing with marketing and other specialisations of business management. It deals with activities like recruitment, training, placement, promotions, transfers, and industrial disputes in an organisation, as well as labour discipline and grievances, employee morale and organisational development. To become an HR professional, you need to be good with people, understand human psychology, get along with all kinds of people regardless of their age, class, social or educational background, have some organising ability, administrative skills and effective problem-solving skills. Finance is a good field for those with strong analytical and reasoning skills. Finance professionals are in charge of budgets, executing financial programmes and profitability appraisals. Finance managers handle not just the conventional auditing and accounting, but also a vast range of activities like fund raising, foreign exchange, treasury management, investment banking, securities management and financial and strategy consulting. So make your choice depending on the kind of skills you have and the work you can visualise yourself doing. Usha Albuquerque
