Old Person... New School

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Learn dot com. All opinions are 100% mine.

In this present economic condition, no one wants to be left behind because the world will not stop revolving just because some people stop learning. More people are now taking advantage of the new trend in educational system regardless of age. And more people are accepting the fact that education has gone a long way from “old school” to new kind of educational system. And I am one of those people I mentioned earlier. At my age… with my skill… and with the present economic situation, I know there is no way I could cope with the trend if I will not be open to new ideas. And with new ideas, I'm so glad that I learned about Elearning.

I learned to use the computer and the internet through my personal effort and persistence. And I am proud to say that it is paying off. But to be able to learn new skill and knowledge that I can use to improve my way of life or financial status or simply make my dream come true is something more exciting if not rewarding.

Through surfing I discovered this website called Learn.com and learned about Skill Score where it provides job seeker a unique tool to use to become “job ready” and for the potential employers an avenue to find this “job ready” individual that matches their job requirement. This concept is entirely new to me and out of curiosity I registered for free and tried one of their Free Courses to check on my Skill Score. I took the JSS: Program 1 - Massive Action and How to get Face-to-Face Interviews. I had fun taking the course.

My personal opinion on this type of short course is that… it is very helpful and user-friendly. For people like me who did not get the chance to go to college this is “huge”. It is not intimidating and not too complicated. It provides clear instructions on what to do and how to go about the course. It presents a step by step instruction with matching pictures and easy to navigate buttons to guide the person taking the test. It emphasizes or outlines 6 basic points [such as; taking action, condition yourself, assessing personality style, attitude, goals and intentions, and a daily plan] that a person needs to focus on to be able to achieve his dream job. And I think that this is indeed a helpful tool for anyone who is seeking for a more rewarding job to be able to prepare them to be job ready and confident to do the job he is dreaming of.

Well, if you are like me who is not afraid to pursue a dream and who is willing to take a second chance in achieving a long time goal, this is the first step that you should take so you can evaluate yourself. It will help you not only discover your weaknesses and strengths but assist you in your crucial decision-making process or direct you to the one that will help you succeed.
