Week 9 LearningExpress

Account set-up was a smooth process.  I enjoyed the word analogy test and actually took several of the word tests, they grade instantly and you can see mistakes and explanations.  Good place to work on cognitive skills.

I looked at the Public Speaking Success in 20 Minutes a Day course in the "Job Search and Workplace Skills".  There were 20 lessons in an easy to understand format with worksheets and clear instructions.

I searched under the topic "cover letters" with a result of 3 tests, 89 courses and 8 ebooks.   I looked at Goofproof Resumes and Cover Letters.  It was divided into 2 major sections and further divided by rules.  If you follow the rules you goofproof the product, if you don't its a goofup.  The book projected a casual and friendly tone to a reader with little experience in the writing aspect of job search. I have a little concern that the copyright was 2003, some editing and updates might be in order.  I have always been hopeful that with the advent of e-texts that changes could be made more efficiently than with printed textbook updates.
