Hello, folks. I'm working on a project to help job seekers. There's a part of the project that recommends online courses for skills you may be missing for a particular job listing. What are some of the best online courses you know of or have taken?

Again, I'm moved to write this: Your chances at an EB-1A get stronger the more you intentionally build certain things. 1. Learn to document your achievements. Keep copies of awards, media mentions of you and your work, promotion letters, conference invitations, and contracts…
