For Prospect Members Only! Free Career Skills Podcasts!!!

This week, your Prospect ULR, Iwona Jurkiewicz, brought this news item from H.Q. forward for your information:

 Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to advise that we now have a series of short (less than 10 minutes each) podcasts available for download via the Prospect website. The audio files are in an MP3 format and some have accompanying worksheets.

The podcasts can be the tools you need to succeed!

You do not need to be logged into the Prospect website to download the podcasts, but will need to sign in when accessing the accompanying worksheets. The podcasts can be downloaded repeatedly onto PC’s and iPhones, providing a great opportunity to have a quick refresher at a time which suits you (e.g. Just before an interview).

Subjects include:
