    1. If you claim many years experience and are struggling in interviews you will probably struggle to find contracts full stop.

    2. If you are struggling with Java then it is no surprise you are finding Scala roles hard to come by.

    Everyone has the odd disaster but consistent rejections are an issue.

    Maybe you should have made your forum name HardToSearch?

    Not a techy course but still useful.

    Stamp Out Spiking have a paid for course and a free 20 minute overview of the things to be aware of around drink spiking. It's aimed at people who work in hospitality locations but wider awareness can never be a bad thing.

    Here's the link of the course: https://academy.hub-spot.com/courses/inbound-sales
    Don't trust marketing automation - the best rule of sales is to disqualify early so you focus on the people who are likely to spend money with you as you are fixing one of their current biggest issues.

    Not sure how useful / good these are but Purple Griffon training have some free quizzes for a variety of different certifications that may be of interest to people who want to get an idea of maybe the language used in exams, or what sort of things they ask about:
