Resume Writing

Do you know how to tell the difference between art and work? Resumes. If people had to apply to be poets, songwriters, screenwriters, or directors the way the rest of have to apply for jobs, the art world would be full of stories about the soul sucking agony of resume writing.

As noted here, resumes differ from curriculum vitae, in that resumes are more general. For many people, being general without being vague is incredibly difficult. Job seekers often skim samples and load their resumes with “action words,” but fail to notice that their resumes don't say much. Too often, people send out resumes that sound like vague commercials rather succinct descriptions.

Professors, Instructors, Teaching Assistants, OH MY!

There is a hierarchy in every college and university, and you should be wary of anyone who claims otherwise. You will often hear certain majors, academic departments, groups of staff, etc., routinely spoken of in derisive terms. If you are studying business, you may find that you hear the arts or literature always mentioned as if the joke were obvious, and you might also complain about the sciences doing the same to you.

Socializing: More than Partying

Take advantage of office hours when you have question and not just after you receive a grade that you don’t like. Look up your professors, online and in library databases, to find out what they have written and published, if it interests or impresses you, let them know. Just because everything about socializing isn’t easy for you or the way others do it strikes you as insincere or manipulative doesn’t mean that you can’t find a way to engage your department, both professors and students, in a way that develops your professional contacts and suits you.

Don’t just get a degree, get skills.

In college, you are developing several sets of skills. Among them are learning professionalism, developing your written and spoken communications skills, applying logic and developing analyses, as well as learning about a field or fields in depth. In some schools, this takes over completely and can leave new graduates out in the cold, especially in a tough job market. There are countless graduates in English, communications, and business every year and a lot of them will end up looking the same on paper.

Online First Impressions: Resumes that Represent your Best

Just a decade ago, discussion on how to make the best first impression for a potential job or academic setting might have centered on what to wear, how to deliver a firm handshake, and how to speak confidently about your skills. Today’s first impression almost always happens online. With more competition than ever before, how can you make your resume stand out from the best? There are a number of ways to develop strong resumes that will open doors for the next step in your career. There are also, unfortunately, a great number of pitfalls to avoid. Here are four common mistakes.

Do I Need a CV or a Resume?

So you made it through the final research paper and finished your thesis project, but now you're faced with the dreaded task of actually finding a job so you can use that shiny new degree. Hopefully, you've already spent some time researching the industry and know what types of jobs are available.

SWOT or SWOTT: What's the Difference?

One of the most fun aspects of getting a business degree is learning to look at things a little bit differently and the easiest way to learn to do this is to look at most decisions in terms of a SWOT analysis. Though this type of business memo was designed specifically to analyze how well a business might be able to compete, the same basic principles can be applied to almost anything. So what is a SWOT analysis and why do I sometimes see it spelled with a second T?

Colleges and Universities: Scholarship Scams

Colleges and universities scholarship scams prey on students who are young, vulnerable, and perhaps not as familiar with what to look out for when investigating funding options. These swindles are created for two reasons, to obtain money or to obtain personal details. The basic rules of life apply; you should never pay money up front in order to obtain money down the track and you should never give out personal details.

US Colleges and Universities: Saving & Finance

One of the greatest incentives to come out of the Obama, US colleges and university education push is the promotion of the tuition reimbursement program that compensates employers for putting employees through a college education while continuing to work. As far as benefits go in a rapidly changing world and amongst an aging population, one would be hard pressed to find a greater employment benefit.

ESOL Courses

English as a second language now outranks just about any course or program in terms of sheer numbers than any other. A big reason for these impressive figures is immigration to English dominated areas like the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Because pronunciation is vastly different in each of these countries, students of ESOL courses in one country may still struggle to speak and understand the vernacular of another country or sometimes even within the same country. In England for example, the dialect will change even in small geographic areas. It is important therefore, that ESOL courses expose students to regional forms and cultural styles so that ESOL students will be able to discern meaning even when the words, grammar or pronunciation are different to the form of English he or she is taught to speak.

TEFL Courses

Make 2012 the year to take a TEFL course and improve your English and by extension your job, relationship, social and travel opportunities. TEFL stands for teach English as a Foreign Language so the courses, like TESL or TESOL, are targeted to aspiring teachers of learners whose first language is something other than English.

Student Demographics & Facts

The typical student is typical no more. Student demographics are changing in the States and around the world. Just a few years ago English as a Second Language (ESL or EsoL) was virtually unheard of in public schools and it certainly wasn’t a feature of many tertiary institutes. Today you will be hard pressed to find a school that doesn’t offer ESL. Likewise, for adult education which has boomed over the past couple of decades.

Student Loans: FAFSA

One hundred billion dollars has been allocated to student grants and student loans through the current government. FAFSA is the “Federal Application for Student Allowance” and you will hear a lot about it if you are looking for student loan. Just about every student loan requires a FAFSA, even private institutions and some grant applications will ask for this form so it makes sense to familiarize yourself with the requirements of FAFSA.

Top 10 American Universities

The bad news is they are all ridiculously hard to get into but the good news is that if you make it into top ranking Williams your fees might be lower than if you’d made it into one of the other nine top schools. Not a lot lower, but some less is better than none.

Summer School or Summer Holiday

You don’t have to go far to find relaxation and respite from the stresses of the school year. You don’t even have to be able to spend more than a few days here and there. There is so much to do over the summer holidays throughout the US, so that even those who have to work or study through the break should be able to make some happy memories.

Career Management

Some careers, for instance IT, will follow a fairly direct path, others like business, require a broad set of skills covering humanities to corporate etiquette. Finding ways to hone these skill sets while still in college will place you in a more competitive position at graduation. There are some useful skill sets which will cross a broad range of career choices.
