This is a great course to take if you are int eh process of job hunting. The material and guidance given in this course are more useful that some in-campus courses.

This is a great course! The lecturer is very engaging. The content is very well organised and easy to understand. I have learnt a great deal from this course. Thank you!

Fantastic course. Highly recommended for people who are looking out for jobs and have challenges in projecting/marketing themselves.

This course should be taken by anyone involved in the processs of applying for job interviews! It's both useful and pleasant to take.

I work for a big company, in France, in the field of "science & technology R&D", and my lab recently opened a position for which we started interviewing applicants a few weeks ago. As a member of the team the position is opened to work with, I've been involved in the interview process. I was just amazed to see how unprepared the applicants were : they made mistake after mistake. Since we also have trainees and Ph.D students in the lab, who'll soon have to search for their first job, I had a look at the MOOC offer in the field of "preparing for job interviews", in order to see what advice I could provide for them to get prepared for this key step in building their career.

I registered to this MOOC, as an auditor, and started browsing through their videos and accompanying documents. I just got caught in right away, despite the fact that I couldn't participate (neither submit nor evaluate) in assignments: one needs to be pay for that, and I had no real interest in doing so, for now, although I truly think it's worth the cost if one is in the position of preparing for job interviews.

I realised that, if the job applicants we interviewed in my lab had taken this remarkable course prior to their interviews, this would have saved them so many basic mistakes. If you never had the opportunity to reflect on what a job interview process is, and are applying for interviews, just give it a try: I bet you'll benefit from this experience a lot... and it might simply change your life! This course is the first of a series of 5 from a specialization. I already audited the first 2 courses, and I'm just eager to see the next two come on stage (the last is a capstone project I'll skip for now.)

You can't introduce yourself to someone if you don't know who you are. This course does such a wonderful job of helping you accumulate the best of you, so that you can then present it to the rest of the world (more specifically in this case, your interviewers.) There are some lessons on English pronunciation, which I found a touch tedious since I'm a native speaker, but it's nothing that takes away from the overall class. Professor Duquette's can be felt through the videos. He is clear, relevant and charming as a speaker - you honestly enjoy watching and listening to the audio content. Highly recommended!

This course showed me there is a objective and systematic way for preparing for interviews and improving my English skills.

Scientific approaches. Effective. Great instructor.

very good course

I am currently looking for a job in a English speaking market and I felt I needed some preparation for this venture. This course not only taught me how to prepare myself, but also I got to understand some of my professional traits. I can now delineate my skills and competencies. I am more confident about my expertise and can stand on solid ground in interviews. Thank you very much, Professor Duquette!

My name is Jose Antonio. I am looking for a new Data Scientist career (https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseantonio11)

Congratulations to Coursera team and Instructors.
