English for Career Development

It suits learners who want to describe their experience more clearly in English while understanding the purpose of each stage of the application process.

What you will learn

• Practice networking and job-interview communication.

Who this suits

Learners developing English for employment-related communication; compare the language examples with your current English ability.

Before you enroll

Use career examples as prompts for decisions, rather than guarantees of employment or promotion. Hiring requirements, local practices and professional platforms change. Adapt application materials to a real role and support claims with evidence from your experience. Keep private details out of shared exercises and leave time for feedback and revision.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Write a short description of a real project in English and adapt it for a resume bullet, a cover-letter paragraph and a spoken interview answer.
