Harvard ManageMentor
Hi, I'm currently a junior at a top-tier school and doing a summer internship at a Fortune 500 company. They offer free Harvard ManageMentor courses and I was wondering if these are useful to complete and list on resume, especially for MBA admissions or top-tier consulting firms?
Or are the courses meaningless/useless?
What exactly are these? And does that give you your answer?
Oh Peter, stop being so snarky! You have the most popular thread on WSO and now you are giving poor @jpbrocks a hard time. :-). honestly.
so, the question remains
Well, I looked up these courses, and found that the website goes straight to Harvard Business Review, so it isn't some University of Phoenix online course : http://www.harvardbusiness.org/harvard-managementor
And it looks like it is Harvard Business Publishing's foray into interactive learning. Which is here to stay. Without taking the courses myself, I would say to Jbrocks, it would certainly be worth going through some of the courses to see what you can pick up. The quality of the material is vetted by HBR, so that's not too shabby, and I would think that it might inspire you to do some more on-your-own learning.
As for whether it makes any difference on a resume, or on a business school application, my guess is that without a grade, or without some kind of formal testing (like six-sigma), I wouldn't really think it adds heft to a resume.
Some of the modules look pretty interesting, If I were just embarking on my career, here are my choices of the 44 that would interest me the most, but I am sure it would be different for everyone.

How does that sound?

Haha that's more than fair, if you have downtime it always helps to learn something, but this isn't a resume bullet point.
