Reading between the lines is one of the best interview skills you can build. Questions like ""Tell me about yourself"" or ""Why should we hire you?"" aren't just conversation starters. These questions are designed to help employers understand how you communicate, solve problems, think about yourself, and approach challenges. And when you understand what each question is really testing, you can prepare answers that showcase your strengths.

Many people believe that great public speakers are naturally confident, fearless, and never make mistakes. But that's not true. Even experienced speakers get nervous. The difference is that they've learnt how to prepare, manage those nerves, and keep going when things don't go perfectly. After all, public speaking is a skill. And it's one you'll take with you from one role to another throughout your career. So whether you're interviewing for a new job, leading a meeting, or presenting an idea, investing time in becoming a better speaker is well worth it.

The story most people were told was that AI would reduce their workload. But whether it has depends entirely on who you ask. According to Upwork, 96% of business leaders expect AI to boost productivity. And yet, 77% of employees say using it has done the opposite. Likely because the tools arrived long before the training to use them did. Knowing what AI can actually do for your work, and what it can't, is worth understanding. And Alison has free courses to help make it the time-saver it was supposed to be.
