Increase your chance of success in securing the job you really want by improving your resume and performing better at job interviews.
First impressions count!
A resume, often with a covering letter will often be your first opportunity to impress an employer and optimise your chance of being interviewed.
The interview then becomes your chance to shine. If you want to stand out, impress an employer and be offered a job; you need to do your very best at writing a resume, and at presenting yourself throughout a job interview.
This course shows you how to do that. To advance your career, this course could well be the most important 10 hours of study you ever do.
