I have met a superior knowledge here. E ven though a classroom teacher of forty-eight years standing, I have seen nothing like this. In fact, even after this corse of mine, I still have a lot of digging to do. I thank all the brains behind the course content. I also wish to record my great indebtedness to the tutors who diligently and lovingly impart the knowledge. It's no wonder America is Great as it is built on solid foundation. This is exactly what I have in mind when I was contemplating establishing a unique private school in my land here. Nevertheless, I appreciate all I have received from you. Now I know that applying for a job is serious business. You have taught me so Thank you immensely.

OK as a starting point to initate self reflection and to be reminded of some "mechanics" of the American job market. I am not so sure it fits European and more modern company culture. Some of the presented tools and assignments are helpful.
