This is a portfolio piece built on a curriculum I designed for the DIGITAL STARs (Digital Skills Training for All Romanians) initiative, a World Bank programme supporting Romania's Ministry of Research, Innovation, and Digitalization (MoRID) to deliver foundational digital skills training to 100,000 Romanian citizens by June 2026.

Before we begin, have you used LinkedIn before?
LinkedIn is the world's largest professional networking platform, used by 900 million+ professionals globally. Think of it as your digital CV, networking hub and industry knowledge feed all in one place.
Why does writing quality matter? Every post you publish is visible to potential employers, clients and colleagues. A single grammar error can undermine an otherwise impressive update, which is exactly what this course addresses.
A polished LinkedIn post can open real doors. Click each card to find out why.
Your posts are your professional brand. Recruiters scroll LinkedIn daily, and a grammar slip signals carelessness no matter how strong your experience. Error-free writing shows you pay attention to detail.
Easy-to-read posts get more likes, shares and comments, so your reach grows beyond your immediate network. Clear writing builds trust and makes people want to engage with you and even refer you to others.
Free AI tools like ChatGPT can catch grammar errors you might read right past. But AI isn't perfect. It supports your judgement but doesn't replace it, so always review each suggestion before you apply it.

While ChatGPT can spot grammar mistakes, it's not perfect. It might miss errors or suggest unnatural changes. Always double-check corrections and ask a human for a second opinion, especially for important texts.
Human judgement is key.
Use AI as a starting point, not the final word. Your own reading of the corrected text always matters most.

Copy this prompt, paste it into ChatGPT, then add Alex's post after it. Asking ChatGPT to name the error type and explain why turns every correction into a mini grammar lesson, so you stop making the same mistake twice.
Please proofread the following LinkedIn post. Fix any grammar errors and improve clarity. For each correction, please: 1. Quote the original error 2. Show the corrected version 3. Name the error type (e.g. missing article, wrong verb tense, incorrect plural) 4. Explain why it's incorrect Keep my original tone and voice. Only fix errors, do not rewrite the entire post. [Paste your LinkedIn post here]
Compare the original post with the AI-corrected version side by side.
Apply each fix, then run through the final checklist before you publish.
