Antonina, a journalist from the Detector Media project, shared her honest feedback on the "Business Etiquette" course by former TV host Olha Freimut. The course, which costs 5,000 hryvnias, offers 25 video lessons lasting an average of three minutes, resulting in less than an hour and a half of material.

However, according to the author of the review, potential students are waiting for the information that is freely available not only on Freimut's page but also on the Internet in general. The most important thesis of the former "The Auditor" star is that business is not only about large corporations but also about the talent of entrepreneurs. "Because even the Bible says that you shouldn't bury your talent," says the lecturer, sometimes comparing herself to a priest.

During the three-minute lessons, the celebrity provides examples of business etiquette from the areas in which she has worked. In particular, one of the lectures contains a "master class" on how to ask for a salary increase, using the example of the profession of a literary editor. In her recommendation, Freimut mentioned an amount that would make literary editors smile ironically. Like, if you make 2 thousand dollars, you shouldn't ask your boss for 5 thousand dollars right away.

At the end of the "Business Etiquette" course, Freimut holds an hour-long video meeting with the "graduates" where he gives his expert answers to their questions. "There are about 30 people in the group of happy course participants. Some of them are abroad and are trying to understand how to behave in a new job search environment or with a foreign employer. But most of them are in Ukraine and are trying to set up their small businesses or even just start them," the journalist writes. "So, one of the participants asked how to choose a team, and how to find the right people. Freimut's answer is one of the golden annals of answers to all questions: "Pray."

As the author notes, the former TV presenter also favors "fantasies about the British aristocracy." For example, the lecturer tells Ukrainians that when hosting a reception, when introducing guests to each other, they should start with dukes and earls. There were also lessons on how to be a lady. As a bonus, Freimut sends her students titles of books on business etiquette. "The most useful part of the 'course' is for those who may have come for it. But in general, the life hack for info fraudsters is luxurious: you declare the name of the course, collect money and throw a few books on the topic to the "students". Let them read them themselves, there's no need to be lazy," the review says.
