This is an amazing course! I recommend it for people who want to dive into the IT field and understand how you should behave. It includes everything, and I mean EVERYTHING you need. The material is given in a way that it does not get boring. Bryan makes a lot of jokes and tells a lot of personal stories. What I like the most is that the information he gives applies not only to jobs haunting but to usual life as well. Many thanks for the great work!

I didn't have much expectations when I bought this, but was still interested in the subject. I have to say this went waaaay over my expectations. Bryan has a lot of experience and is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. Kinda bummed I already finished the 7 hours, I really enjoyed listening to his anecdotes. If you're interested in getting a job in IT give this a try, in fact, in my experience, many of his tips can apply to many other fields.
