This was um first attempt to study online and I chose Cursera for the range of courses offered. I decided to take a simple course on something that I knew about and see how I would perform and test the platform. I was impressed and positively surprised with how many new things I learned and how challenging the course was with the final exam. I am very happy with the overall experience and now I embark in some new challenges with other courses.

I do thank the instructors from this program and Cursera for the excellent content and course.

Pros: The Job Success course material was helpful with emphasizing the importance of your overall social presence on varying social media platoforms. It also provided insight on how employers view you based on your personal or professional profiles. An added bonus was the insight provided regarding digital marketing and how it relates to effective ways to promote your brand or "sell yourself".

Cons: 1. There were SEVERAL links to important files that DID NOT WORK and no one helped nor responded maing them accessible to students.

2. Paying for the certificate yet having to WAIT for someone else to review your assignment in order to reeive your certificate REGARDLESS of your hard work or payment to receive certificate. Peer-reviewd assignments are an insult when there are no other srudents taking the course or finising the course. SO your finished work can just sit there until someeone else comes along to releaase your certificate.

3. No one available to respond to your concerns or questions.

***Overall, this course would have been GREAT if:

- all the links worked,

-it wsn't peer-reviewed

-if there was someone occasionally monitirng the course for replies.

I think the course was very good and challenging. If you are looking for a job or new career or maybe have been away from professional career for some time, this is a great course to get informed about what employers are looking for and where employers might look to find information (good or bad) about you online. Step 1 was how to update social media and maximize your value on social media. I got some great tips from this step. Step 2 was resumes and what types of resumes there are and when one may be better than another. The resume step was interesting and used some types of resumes that were new to me. Step 3 was the professional pitch! I loved this exercise! I would like to state at first I thought how am I gong to write this? I am currently unemployed. I had to get creative. I feel that I will definitely be using my pitch soon. This course is what you make of it - if you work on it hopefully, you and I will all get a job or promotion we want. Thank you!

This is a very recommendable course: content is relevant, very useful with real examples and templates to use right away. It shows the professionalism of its creators who know how to effectively communicate in an online course. Go for it!

The course was not up to the expectations. Most of the information are repeated and not new. I expected to get something unique and valuable practical information that I can jump on it to start but that did not happen. I appreciate the facts , numbers and percentages mentioned but its not enough. I've passed the course successfully and got few info to be honest but when I started I was expecting much much more. Thanks to the crew and to university for their effort.

Good course with useful information, I have made it just for fun, but it turned out to be really helpful. I have updated my social media accounts, learned to make nice resume and speak in a right way about my talents and skills. I would definitely advise to complete this course for people, who are seeking for another job, or if you are looking for a first job right after the studies, or even just for fun to know how to present yourself.

This course was very thorough in teaching me how to look professional online, in person, and by resume! I think now with a bit of practice and using these guidelines I will be able come across as holistically professional as I want to. Much of the information regarding the professional online persona and professional pitch I had no clue about, so I definitely recommend this to everyone!

Really helpful, beginner-level course about how to build an effective social media profile and elevator pitch. Also, I really like the concept of an info-graphic resume and I am definitely going to use this in my next job interview.

I highly recommend this course to college students who are currently not looking for jobs but wish to get insights into preparing early on for the process.

Excellent course for personal presentation, in regard to, tips for update social media profile, knowledge about info graphic resume, and elevator pitch. This course is must for beginners who are looking for job. The speed is high of first two week lecture. However, subtitle is displaying, which is helping to understand pronunciation. But overall excellent course.

Most people tend to underestimate these courses, but the material provided was very helpful. I didn't consider the course at first, but after researching some stats, everyone who wants to move up in their careers should know a few tricks to stay ahead of the rest of their job competition.
