Good College Adivce Before You Begin Your College Search
Things To Consider For Your College Search
By: Susie Watts Going to college is one of the biggest investments a family will make. Yet, too often not enough time or research goes into the college search. Students should use the college search experience as an opportunity to get to know themselves better and discover what is important to them and where they would like to spend four important years of their lives. Too often, well intentioned adults ask a junior or senior in high school,” Where are you going to college?” Rarely, does anyone ask, “Why are you going to college?” Perhaps, if students asked this question more often of themselves, they would have more focus as they begin their college search. Here are some things to consider before beginning a successful college search: 1. First, decide whether you would like to go to college in-state or out-of-state,closer to home or are you ready to experience something new? Don’t limit your college choices when you first begin. You can always narrow your schools down later in the process after you have had plenty of time to research all of them. 2. Next, decide whether a small or larger school is better for your learning style. Are small ...

4 Ways To Make Your Resume Stand Out From The Crowd
By: Brenda Ballentine You’ve got 15 seconds to tell me three things that make you a great employee. Now, you’ve got 10 seconds.Five seconds.Buzz!Times up. While you were reading that, could you think of even one thing to say? If you did, I bet it was hard to do in such a short period of time. Yet, this is exactly what your resume has to do each and every time you submit it to a potential employer. If you were under the impression that an employer will take a few minutes to look over your resume before making a decision about you – you need a quick reality check. The truth is, employers are currently wading through tons of resumes that come in each and every day. Yours is probably somewhere amongst the crowd – fighting for attention. The average resume gets only a few seconds of time before being cast aside forever, or given a second life down the road where someone WILL spend more time reading it. In the world of resumes, first impressions mean the difference between having a shot at the job, or never hearing from an employer. Yet, many people think that ...

Tips To Ensure A Successful Interview Process
By: Mort Ferguson After sending a resume to a prospective employer, you may be called for your first of probably two or three interviews. The initial interview is critical because that is when the employer will likely decide whether to hire you and how you might fit with the company. This step is crucial, and you need to be prepared to enhance your likelihood of a successful interview and eventual job offer. Before you even step one foot in the door of your prospective employer, you should completely research the company, its background, corporate goals, top executives, and anything pertinent to the position to which you have applied. Additionally, knowing the background of the company and what you are going to be doing for that company will help you prepare for questions that will be asked of you. It would be time well spent to practice answering test questions with a friend or family member so you are able to provide confident, knowledgeable answers during the interview that make a positive impression. When you show up on the day of the interview, it is best to arrive at least 10 to 15 minutes prior to the planned starting time. An ...

Top 10 Social Media Do's and Dont's
1) Before you say or post anything using social media, think whether or not you would do or say those things to someone in person. 2) Don’t post any picture of yourself or of your friends that could compromise your professional image. 27 % of prospective employers say that they have used the internet to find information on prospective job seekers. Unflattering pictures of you half-dressed or at a party is not the image you want to portray. 3) Keep in mind that everything you say and every picture you post can be seen by anyone: your grandmother, friends, colleagues and even your boss. 4) Be honest, cautious and selective about any information you share. 5) Just as you would in person, choose your friends carefully. Just because someone sends you a friend request doesn’t mean you have to accept. The friends you keep say a lot about you. 6) Consider using one social network for personal and another social network for professional relationships. For example when you have a new baby you might want to tell all your friends on Facebook, however, this is not necessarily something you should share with all those in your professional network. 7) Make ...
