I'm graduated with an English degree and I've noticed a lot of companies I'm interested in require some business know how. I want to take some business courses but don't have enough time to attend college full-time. Would a business certificate from extension courses make the slightest difference on my resume, or is it better to simply get a bachelor degree from an online college? Or get an AS degree from a community college? I'm looking for the choice that would have the most impact on future employers.
What courses would help an English major in the business world?
I too have an English degree with writing emphasis - generally showing that you are capable of communication is the biggest advantage you will have while looking for a job. I have never had a problem getting a job based upon not having enhanced my education with business certification, but I have indicated in my application that I am willing to obtain such upon receipt of a job offer - and the company I worked for paid for the courses! There are too many people with business or marketing degrees out there, and not enough that know proper sentence structure or syntax, and more frequently large companies are looking for that ability to effectively communicate ideas. Good luck!
Reply:I would go for two options:
BEC (Business certificate English).
BULATS .
Both are business certifications from Cambridge University Press, they are internationally recognized and they are for life.
So I think these can help you in many situations.
