Struggling with an assignment

I am really struggling with 3 questions in my assignment am now on my third chance. I have got to do 7 assignments by Dec 2023 as I have been unwell. I don't know who to talk to and feel incredibly low that I have got so far and hit a wall. I am unsure if its because of my medication making me fuzy headed or if I am just misunderstanding the questions.Does anyone know who I can talk to? I have tried emailing the service team but they said I need to message on here.

CV support please

Good evening all, I wondered if there was anyone on the forum who currently works in employment relations that would be wiling to look at my CV and give me some pointers please? I work for a trade union and have done so for a decade, representing members. Although employment relations is the majority of my role, breaking over to the other side of the table into HR seems quite a challenge. I would really appreciate it if anyone has the time to see if my CV is up to scratch please?
