Looking for guidance from anyone who has successfully transitioned into a new career field. I have a degree in HR, certifications, and I’m pursuing my MBA with a concentration in HR. My background includes operations, logistics, military service, and administration, but breaking into HR has been challenging. I’ve been applying for HR roles and internships and will be taking my SHRM-CP exam this weekend. Any advice, insight, networking tips, resume tips, or lessons learned would be appreciated.

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
