In a new online course from Saint Petersburg University (also co-founding members of the Global MOOC and Online Education Alliance), students will learn how to write a competent CV, build an effective career plan and find a job.
In the “Build Your Career” course (in Russian), students will learn how to create a career profile, assess their prospects in the light of current market requirements, and learn the nuances of developing a CV and preparing for an interview.
The programme consists of five modules. A special emphasis is placed on a systematic approach. Students will learn how to analyse the labour market, identify their competitive advantages necessary for further professional development, and receive practical advice on adapting to a new position.
One of the advantages of the online course is that it is designed for all age groups: from young professionals (an issue of CV writing without work experience is discussed separately) to people in the phases of a career change and job search. For this purpose, the issue of age-specific stages of professional development is explored separately and specific recommendations for maintaining a work-life balance are given.
The author of the course is Elena Rodionova, Associate Professor at the Department of Professional Activity in Psychology at Saint Petersburg University, a business coach, specialist in motivation and organisational culture, author of popular online courses “Psychotechnologies of Working with Personnel”, “Career Psychology” and others.
