  • I used this course to clean up my resume after working for 15 years as a freelancer on more than 10 project.

    It was a useful exercise. My resume now looks more professional. The course is brief and to-the-point, with useful tips to improve. It is a very short course, max 1 hour per weekly module.

    I only audited the course, did not pay for a certificate. So I cannot judge the value of the peer review exercise and resume review.
  • Sylvia Amar completed this course, spending 2 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.

    It is a course about how to make a resume. It is more for the people who needs to make their first resume
    , but you could find good ideas.
  • Kelton Santos completed this course, spending 1 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.

    It was a good course, but it seems that it was destined to students just finishing university and looking for their first job.

    But it contains many valuable information that anyone can apply in their resumé.

    This training has provided me with the knowledge that will be quite valuable in my future. Thank you for organising it. It's tough for me because I'm no fluent in English. I reside in a nation where English is not the lingua franca, but I tried very hard to complete my studies.

    This is not a free course. Some of the PDF download links within the course are corrupted. The course seems legit, but it is hard to move forward with a fee window that pops up when you take a quiz.
