Excellent course. Very informative and clear. Loved it!
All the instructions are great and the instructor is wonderful but coursera's timer shouldn't run while we work on the site the instructor is instructing us on.

Pretty good and hands on. Just a little outdated. The websites spoken about have had their UI changed over the years. It may be prudent to update the videos soon.

A very interactive, and helpful site. Life is a journey and there has to be a start from somewhere, and as such, the start from this site is really refreshing.

Reviewed Sep 12, 2021A must do guided project for anyone using LinkedIn for job hunt, irrespective how long they have been using it for.
It is recommended that you have a Premium account instead of a free account to utilize and follow all the steps provided correctly e.g. sending personalized messages to potential contacts when expanding your existing network.
Be ready to be surprised by the analysis from the 3rd party site (though I observed something fishy in the analysis) so don't worry too much.
