The course can be particularly helpful to university seniors and graduates as well as applicants for admission to MBA and Master’s degree programmes as it provides the tools they need in order to succeed at job or university admission interviews.
This course will help you to succeed at interviews, whether you are applying for jobs or planning to study. Because being offered an interview can be quite daunting, we’ve put together a set of materials to help you prepare and be successful on the day,
say the authors of this course.
