I thought this class would be appropriate for all but it is geared more to the foreign student and a bit too basic for an American college student

The topics covered are good enough to improve the areas which we are not aware of or where we lack strong points so this course will teach that very clearly.

Dear Brian and Robyn! That was my great experience to develop myself and grow in professional sphere of communication. I have never learned such kind perspective course which gives me lots of opportunities to understand people's reactions, weaknesses and strengths.

I gained a lot of knowledge and information about the Job Application process and how to stand out from other job seekers through this course. It definitely helped me to enhance my English language skills by introducing several vocabularies used in the professional lives. I enjoyed a lot the sample examples and interviews presented in the videos as well as the quizzes and games we had to solve in the course.
