One lesson continues to stand out. Through a web development course, Micheal was introduced to test-driven development, an approach that changed how he thinks about building software. "It made me think about building software that can be trusted, not just software that works."

@LinaAura_ We're glad you think so, great minds!👏😀

@coursera That's a great point. Prompting really does make a huge difference in the final results.

Better AI visuals start with better prompts. Here are 3 upgrades to try 👇 🎨 Stronger visuals ❌ “Make a coffee shop logo.” ✅ “Create a modern coffee shop logo for a cozy neighborhood café. Use warm earth tones, minimalist typography, and a handcrafted feel.” ✨ Cleaner edits ❌ “Fix this image.” ✅ “Remove the background distractions from this image, brighten the lighting, and keep the subject looking natural.” 💡 Better ideas ❌ “Give me design ideas.” ✅ “Generate 5 creative concepts for a social media campaign promoting sustainable travel for Gen Z.” Save these prompts for your next project.

One of the most powerful learning skills is thinking about how you learn. This is called metacognition, and strong learners use it constantly. Here’s what that looks like: 1️⃣ Checking your understanding. Instead of assuming you know something, you test yourself. 2️⃣ Adjusting your strategy. If something isn’t working, you try a different approach. 3️⃣ Reflecting after learning. You ask: What worked? What didn’t? What should I try next? 4️⃣ Planning before learning. Strong learners think ahead about how they'll approach a topic. Metacognition turns learning from passive to intentional. And over time, it makes learning more efficient and more effective. ✨ Save this post—better learners don’t just learn, they reflect.

@bern_grandjean We're sorry to hear you're having trouble accessing your certificates! Can you please send us the reference ID and tell us when you contacted our support team? We'd be happy to escalate your ticket internally.

hey @coursera. Why cannot I get certifications since I pay $ for a subscription? Admittedly I have just cancelled but have 3 weeks to run so legally have a subscription. And your customer service is impossible to contact. Prove to me is not a #scam because it sure smells like one

@Nainy5pu We're sorry to hear this! Can you please send us the reference ID and tell us when you contacted our support team? We'd be happy to escalate your ticket internally.

@coursera I accidentally activated a recurring subscription after the ₹1 verification payment, unaware it would auto-renew. ₹1,906 was deducted from my account. I've already cancelled auto-renewal and contacted support. As a student, I kindly request a full or partial refund.

Thinking about moving from help desk support to cybersecurity? 🔐 Working in help desk support already gives you valuable experience troubleshooting systems, managing users, and navigating IT environments. A cybersecurity role lets you build on that foundation to help protect systems, data, and users. To take the next step in your career, focus on building experience in: 🛡️ Network security and threat detection: Learn how teams identify suspicious activity and help defend against cyber threats. 💻 Operating systems and system administration: Strengthen your understanding of configurations, permissions, and security controls. 🔍 Security monitoring and incident response: Learn how to investigate alerts, identify risks, and respond to security incidents. ☁️ Cloud and identity security fundamentals: Understand how organizations secure cloud environments and manage user access. You already have a strong technical foundation. Building these cybersecurity skills can help you prepare for entry-level cybersecurity roles and grow your career in IT.

💡 If you’re updating your resume, focus on clarity, relevance, and measurable impact. A strong resume should make it easy for recruiters to understand why you’re a strong fit.

3️⃣ Replace task lists with proof. "Resumes that quantify outcomes through data: scale, revenue, performance, adoption, or efficiency tend to stand out more than task-based descriptions." — Induja Rajendran, Senior Manager

Your resume is an opportunity to show hiring managers why you’re the right fit and the impact you can bring to the role. Recruiters at Coursera shared what actually makes a resume stand out:
