I had learned a lot in this course about the different job search cultures between US and Thai. Both countries have a thing in common, for example, using a network to get an opportunity. It was a great course to learn as a newcomer who had just moved to the US.

This course is really wonderful for the job seekers. Grammar is also kept to the level of Job interviews and not dragged with useless videos. I am happy that I learned plenty of things like writing a cover letter and answering a few typical interview questions.

Unit 1: Assessment 2: Comparison of the Job Search Process. There is not chance for written answer. My video camera failed in my lap top. I will try to send from my phone. That is my point without solving. I finished all units. Thank you. Jairo Vicente Delgado.

The course was more than I expected! What caught my attention the most was the standardized form of speech during the videos, always maintaining a slower and easier-to-understand pace, aimed at those who do not yet have a high command of the English language.
