Modules
01Knowing Your Strengths & Goals
Job readiness starts with knowing what you bring. Most people underestimate this badly. Strengths include not just skills from past jobs, but qualities — reliability, care, patience, attention to detail — and everything learned through study, volunteering, caring for others and managing daily life.
02Building a Simple Resume
A resume is a one-page introduction, not a life story. Employers spend seconds on it, so it needs to be clean, easy to read, and focused on what you can do.
03Interview Preparation
Interviews are more predictable than they feel. Most ask some version of five questions — and each can be prepared and practised in advance, which is what turns a frightening conversation into a familiar one.
04Task Sequencing & Work Instructions
Most jobs are a set of tasks done in a reliable order, safely. The same sequencing skill you use in the kitchen or in your morning routine applies at work — and so does the same tool: break it into steps, note the cue for each, add the safety check, and know when to stop and ask.
Who it’s for
For people who are thinking about work or volunteering — whether for the first time, after a long break, or in a new field. Job readiness is a set of learnable skills, and this course breaks each one into steps you can practise with support.
Questions
I have gaps in my work history. Is that a problem?
Gaps are common and you do not need to explain them in detail. The resume module shows how to present skills and experience — including volunteering and study — rather than a timeline.
