Last updated November 2025
Our take
Based on the ratings of 10,051 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in November 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
Davis Jones built this course as a start-to-finish tour of the job hunt: resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, networking, interviews and salary negotiation. The syllabus shows 130 short lectures across 12 sections, with the biggest blocks on writing the resume and winning formal interviews. A newer opening section covers AI and applicant tracking systems. The listed audience runs from undergrads and MBA students to professionals changing careers.
Reviewers like how direct it is. One calls it excellent and free of frills or jargon, another says it is easy to digest, and a third points to the many templates and the walkthroughs that go with them. A couple say they were already rewriting their resume and LinkedIn profile mid-course, and one credits it for job changes across three continents. About 8,800 of the 10,051 ratings are four or five stars. The complaints are practical: one reviewer found the resource links broken, another could not tell what to do with the material, and a happy reviewer skipped the AI role play sections.
At 6.4 hours it is quick to finish, and the nine assignments push people to edit a real resume and profile as they go. Nearly 90,000 students have enrolled, and it was last updated in November 2025, so the AI and applicant tracking material is recent. The risk is link rot, since the AI prompts are hosted on Eazl's side rather than inside Udemy. We'd recommend it to anyone actively applying or switching fields who will do the exercises. Someone after deep, industry-specific interview coaching will find it broad.
Pros
- Covers resume, LinkedIn, cover letter, networking, interviews and salary talks in 6.4 hours
- Direct teaching with no jargon, which reviewers describe as easy to digest
- Nine assignments and plenty of templates to build a real resume and profile as you go
- Updated November 2025 with a section on AI and applicant tracking systems
Cons
- A one-star reviewer says the resource links did not work, so they missed the course's full benefit
- The AI and role play format surprised one reviewer enough to skip those sections
- A low-star reviewer could not tell what to do with the material, so it needs some self-direction
The course is excellent, direct to the point, without frills or jargon.
Suits students, recent grads and career changers. The only requirement is a word processor for the resume work.

I purchased this course a while ago but only recently went through it—and I honestly wish I had taken it sooner. I’ve been searching for full-time work for some time, and this course helped me reset how I think about the job search process. It ties together a lot of the pieces that are usually treated separately—resumes, interviews, follow-ups, and the small but important details that are easy to overlook when you’ve been applying for a while. The resources are especially useful and easy to come back to. I know I’ll be revisiting them as I continue refining my approach and improving my results. Overall, it’s one of those courses that doesn’t just give information—it helps you connect the dots and approach the process with more clarity and structure.

Not yet, I don't understand the information provided or what I should be doing with it
By Mircka Garcia on 2/9/2026
Videos do a good job at explaining the topic and ensuring the viewer understands. The website seems easy and straightforward to navigate. When providing additional aid in links, they have thought of every scenario. There are a lot of templates to choose from, and the videos do a good job walking you through the instructions.

This is being a life changing course for me. I even don't have proper words to describe how this course has helped me change 4 job positions in 3 different continents. This course should be must have for all the final year students despite of any domain. More power to Davis and Team.
By Jay Elson on 12/11/2025
I really like the message and presentation of this course. For a beginner looking to break into the job market, this is really a good first step. I have a bit more experience behind me and job hunting is a skill that always needs refinement which this course assist with.
By Josiah Ross on 9/26/2025
Relevant course for changing job hunting climate. Career Hacking pushes the basic framework of A.I. to set the user up with a pivotal system to apply and be SEEN by large companies using ATS. There are some very helpful tried and true techniques every new applicant should know in here. Thank you!
By Anonymized User on 8/1/2021
Davies' course is just outstanding. Clear, to the point, with awesome suggestions, guides and templates, and also fun to watch (not an essential point, but appreciated). I give it 5 stars. One suggestion, though that would make me giving '5plus' stars: Please, create a 'master' document where all the scattered guides and documents are concentrated in to a central pdf/G doc, etc. It will make thins easier for many users. Thanks!
