Harvard Business School

LinkedIn cringe post. For the record, paying for a cert =/= "admittance into Harvard Business School." Like not even close...

It probably gets all students, who come from diverse business backgrounds, on the same page so they can view material and case studies through the same lens.

Considering all the other crap on LinkedIn these days, this isn’t that cringe in comparison. The course is very introductory but if they feel it will make them better and more confident at their job, I say go get-em tiger.

Which is not a bad thing in and of itself, of course. But how prestigious is this course of study in reality?

All it does it increase his likelihood of getting another job I’m pretty sure because the ATS scanner will pick up HBS and put it higher on the list. Could be wrong

Don't think you're wrong here. ATS would highlight that favorably. Unfortunately this particular cert is more or less a joke.

They skip the ATS. That’s the point of a business degree, especially one from HBS.

Dude why is this cringe? They’re proud of getting into HBS…and that’s bad?

They now have a calling card that will get them interviews, jobs, intros, etc, with highly competitive opportunities.

This post is cringe.

They did not “get into HBS.” This is like buying a ticket to a Patriots game and then telling everyone you’re an NFL player.

Eh maybe, but they’re still at the game while you yell at the TV from your couch.

If someone is trying to better themselves professionally or personally I’m all for it. Better than sitting on your ass.

Yeah I went through the HBS Negotiating courses. I do not have it listed on LinkedIn or my resume.

So what. You put the work, time, and effort in. Be proud of it! What do you have to lose by putting it on there? People take courses all the time to hone their skill set, doesn’t have to be associated with a degree.

You can learn more on Coursera...just blowing the money to be found on a recruiter's specific search. And if the recruiter is searching for "Harvard" in your education, they probably aren't great either.
