This course is made by the University of Pennsylvania and lasts about five weeks. This course was created to help people who want to improve the quality of their English and advance their careers in the global market. Each week in this course you will learn many things. In this course, the material presented by the teacher is quite easy to understand because of the explanation through the video accompanied by subtitles. Each video will include several questions using the questions that have been presented in the video. In addition, there are examples of case studies, readings, and quizzes that help me understand the material presented. The material presented in the course is quite useful for me because it adds new English vocabulary related to resumes, how to find a job, cover letters, and much more. Therefore, I think this course is one of the recommended courses to improve my English vocabulary.

Métodos e estratégias corretas na busca de emprego, de forma alegre e realista;

Aprendizado de vocabulário, pronunciação leitura e interpretação;

As auto-gravações são excelente recurso para auto-avaliações!

A entrevista de emprego de Mr. Brian foi o ponto alto de 'interessante' e divertida.

CONTRA:

A Agenda com os dead-lines não ficam muito evidentes; é um pouco fácil estourar um prazo para quem não consegue ter uma rotina diária.

Só. Excelente curso. Congrats.

It was a distinct experiment whose design required the effort, experience and intelligence of experts in language, economics and workforce. With the incentives, instructions, and simple technique, I was able to improve my English language and added a lot to sharpen my listening and my reading skills in particular. As for the technical aspect, I used English to enhance my potential abilities to set up properly my self ahead to the right track of my career, in this, the course was at the forefront because he added information, statistics, and theories that developed the ability to search for the appropriate job opportunity. it is a virtual exceptional skill.

it helped me very much as it increase my knowledge and will be helpful in future job search process. but there are few areas which can be improved. in all test quiz/ flash card quiz 2-3 questions are from future lecture which effect on result. Secondly I have issue with assignment grading as most of reviewers/ candidate does mark your work honestly and mark it in fun with mostly giving low grades and give useless feedback to your work which demotivates the learner. In my opinion there should be someone from the website who should review the grading as well.

I really thankful for the course. I've learned so much from the course. I got to learn about U.S job sites and their process though there aren't all similar in my country. Now I know how to write a great resume along with cover letter and the most important thing how will I going to face the interview with confidence. I really wanna give a special thanks to our instructors of this course they were so good and for them it was actually became very easy for me to understand the course. Now that I've gained enough confidence I think I'll do better to get a job.

The course is very helpfull, I could improve my grammar and learn about job interviews and everthing related to the topic. My only concer is that some of the reviewers (students) werent paying attention to the reviews and some of them gave to me wrong reviwe, for example, one of the task in the assigment was to write about my last job experience and the reviewer said thar I dindt follow the rules, but I did, so in the end my grade was low because of others people mistake. I would recommend special attention to this only.

I had a lot of trouble writing my resume because I have been out of the workforce for more than 10 years. This course gave me the confidence to write and even send my resume :) I don't know if a beginner in English would be able to follow it, but it surely is pretty easy for the intermediate-to-advanced English speaker. It could be boring from time to time, but it really breaks out everything about the job-seeking process, from the first address to the potential employer to the preparation of the interview.

An interesting, well-organized course, with helpful examples and engaging teachers (in some reviews, people complain about the speed, but you can easily regulate that, I watched most videos on +1.50). It emphasizes both the process (from job seeking to final interview, step-by-step) and the vocabulary & grammar basics needed for descent writing in English. Many quizzes are too easy, but overall it's a great course, especially if you are a high school student and you don't know where to start from.
