This a very concise and to-the-point course, which gives practical recommendations on how to write a great CV and a cover letter and how to be successful at interviews.

The professor looks like an expert in the subject. He can speak very clearly and convey what he wants in a simple manner, so that even the beginners can easily understand.

Highly recommended.

I’ve spent two months sending my CVs to employers and having no feedback at all. Fortunately, I came across this course that finally helped me to raise the bar. It is simple! It is spot-on! It is organized in a quite engaging manner, stuffed with handy examples and insights. To master this course is just a matter of several days, but the value is immeasurable. Frankly speaking, I’ve always been a little prejudiced regarding the efficiency of these courses, but this one really helped me out, and I’ve got a decent job now. If you are still in doubts, I hope my experience will help you to make up your mind.

If you once wanted to find a job, but did not know how to properly interest your employer, then this course will definitely help you! I liked that all the information is well organized and easy to understand. Thank you for the course!

This is a very useful course with which you can make sure that you get a good job or place in any well-known company. The teacher has done quite a serious and responsible job creating the course. There is no unnecessary information, everything is brief and clear. During the lockdown, when a lot of workers send their resumes online, this course becomes especially significant. You can form well-built, professional and impressive resume which could attract the attention of the employer, and you get advantages in front of other applicants. I have no doubts I can get a job of my dream! The course is worthy of the highest grade.

The dynamic, competitive environment modern professionals find themselves in requires additional skills that are seldom taught in universities but just as important as professional expertise. Those are skills in career planning, and this course is definitely the best option you will find. The quality of the course is impressive. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a comprehensive overview of the subject in a short time. I learned how to structure my resume, cover letter and how to handle interviews.
