Learn, practise, explain
Try the exercise before reading its explanation. Answer the self-check questions in your own words, then compare your reasoning with the answers. Revisit any difficult section before moving on. No account or payment is needed.
- 01
Identify your skills, evidence and career choices
Choosing a direction becomes easier when you replace a vague label such as 'good with people' with something you can demonstrate. This lesson helps you build an evidence record, compare possible work and choose a small learning experiment. You do not need to decide your whole future in one sitting.
Learning outcome: Create a skill-evidence record, compare two possible directions and plan a realistic next test without inventing achievements.

Read a job description and assess your fit
A job description is a set of claims about work and selection, not merely a list of attractive words. Reading it carefully helps you identify the actual duties, the conditions you must meet, the evidence to prepare and the questions to ask. The examples here are invented descriptions for learning, not advertised openings.
Learning outcome: Build a requirement-evidence table and decide whether to apply, clarify a condition or first address a genuine gap.

Build a truthful CV and a useful portfolio
A CV helps a reader understand relevant experience and learning. A portfolio lets the reader inspect selected work. Both become stronger when every claim has a clear scope, your own contribution is visible and the materials are easy to review. A beginner can do this without inventing a job history.
Learning outcome: Draft a focused CV and explain two portfolio items without exaggerating results, credentials or ownership.

Prepare a job application and professional email
An application is a coordinated set of statements: the form, CV, letter and samples should tell the same truthful story. A professional email helps the recipient understand the role, your relevant evidence and the action requested. Good preparation reduces avoidable confusion without guaranteeing selection.
Learning outcome: Assemble a consistent application, write a focused covering message and correct a submission mistake transparently.
