Career Planning from Learning Matters (Updated)

I am a fan of Learning Matters' online self-help learning materials for business-related subjects. This is "bite-sized" learning taken to the extreme. Most of the topics are covered by a four- or five-page checklist with FAQs and an action plan, cost £2 (worth paying if you only want one topic NOW because you need to answer that question NOW) and take about 20 minutes to work through.

OK, why am I telling you this? Because I recently came across the range of career planning materials that Learning Matters produces -- found it as a result of a friend asking for help, as they do!

Brilliant!

My friend doesn't need a full career planning course just a nudge in the right direction so we sat down and found three of the subjects which would be perfect for her.
