Learning online means no deadlines, no classroom, and no one checking whether you've actually taken anything in. That's exactly why it's easy to finish a course and feel like none of it stuck. So, how do you make what you learn last? Slow down. Pause between lessons and try to recall what you've learnt without looking at your notes. Focus on one priority skill at a time. And, most importantly, look for opportunities to actually use your new knowledge. Learning doesn't end when you complete the final lesson. Putting what you've learnt into practice is what helps turn knowledge into skills you can use. Ready to put these tips into practice?

Getting an interview is one thing. Preparing for it is a different ball game. What if you don't know how to answer a question? What if you forget what you wanted to say? What if you don't make a good impression? You can't predict exactly how an interview will go, but you can prepare for it. The more you know about the company, the role and how your experience relates to it, the less pressure there is to come up with the perfect answer on the spot. Do the preparation you can beforehand, then focus on having a good conversation when the interview begins. And if you need a little extra help getting ready, try one of Alison's free Interview Skills courses to build your confidence and feel more prepared for the questions that come your way: https://tinyurl.com/5bn4n7bf
