Virtual Job Hunt: Results and learner satisfaction
A questionnairefor assessing the quality of training contents and approach has beenprepared.
The questionnaire is being delivered at the end of the course and the first results show a
very good satisfaction for educational activities related to the acquisition of skills required
for the active job searching in the international arena. Questions have been focused on the
student skills before and after the course.
By comparing the two tables (skills before, skills after) we conclude that the training has
been effective in particular for the skills obtained by the students by means of an high level
of interaction and involvement, as in the writing of cover letters, curriculum vitae and
conducting a Skype interview.
The statistical sample investigated is formed with 47 students applying for the international
mobility and internship.
