Course Description

This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and Edx partnership.

This two-part job search course guides you on the path to career success. Based on interviews from industry professionals and seasoned recruiters, we have created a course that helps you succeed in job interviews and outshine your competitors.


This course is for both native and non-native speakers of English. Native speakers will benefit from hearing from industry professionals and recruiters and how to prepare and perform more effectively in a job interview, while non-native speakers will also benefit from the language input that is provided in each week of the course.


Taken together with Part 1, English at Work in Asia: Job Applications, CVs and Cover Letters, Part 2 of this course will help you clinch that job!


Once you have your professional knowledge and gained your experience, how you persuade others to believe that you are as good as you say you are is the challenge. Our instructors have had a 100% success rate in getting interviews and landing a job in Asia and we hope to share that experience with you. The course materials are designed based on our expertise as well as advice from accomplished professionals in the business, HR and academic field. Taking this course will bring you closer to getting that job.

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

An Internationally Recognized University - Located in the heart of Asia

 

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University is committed to education and preparing students to becoming global citizens through quality learning and teaching. We are internationally known for our excellence in professional education and innovative research.

 

Established in 1937, we have nurtured over 355,000 graduates, many of whom have become leaders in their professional fields, contributing their knowledge and expertise to building Hong Kong's thriving economy and improving the world.

 

We have the largest student community out of all Hong Kong's publicly-funded universities, with some 32,000 full-time and part-time students on campus annually. In addition, the University’s Student Exchange Programme offers students opportunities to study and experience different cultures at over 220 renowned universities across 28 countries and regions. Every year, around 550 PolyU students go on exchanges while a similar number of inbound exchange students come to the University.

 

Over 200 programmes, some unique in Hong Kong, are offered by our six faculties and two schools, each with its own unique strengths. We are the only university in Hong Kong whose curriculum mandates a Work-Integrated Education (WIE) component to facilitate work-based learning. Therefore our graduates are highly sought after by employers.

This institution is available on eLearnAfrica through partnership with Edx.
