Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

Which is the best way to replace "Native English speaker"?

 

Name the language level the job needs and why. That keeps the requirement job-related.

Lesson 2, Requirements vs nice-to-haves, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Which makes an ad harder to read with a screen reader?

 

A screen reader can't read text inside an image. Publish the text as real text.

Lesson 4, Make the ad accessible, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

What comes first when a manager sends you a draft ad?

 

Agree what the job needs first. The rest of the edit follows from that.

Lesson 5, The adjustments statement and the final read, teaches this. See the outline
