Took a $50 online course and got a job offer from it, didn't expect that

I took a $50 online project management course last month, mostly because my boss said my meeting notes were a mess. The instructor had this whole section on running stakeholder check-ins, with a simple template for who talks first and how to close out action items. I tried it during our weekly sync on Thursday and my team actually stayed focused instead of doomscrolling. Then I used the same structure in a job interview for a coordinator role with a local nonprofit in Portland. The hiring manager asked where I learned that format and seemed genuinely interested, not dismissive. I got a call back two days later for a second interview. I never thought a cheap course would give me something this useful. Has anyone else found a random online class that beat their expensive degree or corporate training sessions?
