When it comes to creating and submitting a resume, you want to stand out…just not in a bad way. Here are a few tips for creating a master resume!
1. Concise: You may have a lot of experience and information to add, but summarize and edit until you can fit the necessary info on one…maybe two pages.
2. Use bullets: If you want the employer to quickly look at your resume and see important points, you should put these in bullets. This way the employer can quickly scan the document and see what distinguishes you from another applicant. Putting this information into a paragraph makes it harder for the employer to scan with ease.
3. Don’t have too much fun with fonts: You may like many different fonts, but for the purpose of a resume-it is better to not use many fonts. Try to just use one. It will look cleaner and more professional. Get a second opinion when choosing a font if you are not sure if it looks professional enough. The last thing you want to do is have a solid resume content-wise, but be rejected because it contains too many fonts or a font that does not look professional.

Back-to-school shopping is generally a term that we relate with elementary school or even just any student prior to college. Once college age hits, back-to-school shopping is a term that is not used as much. It may be that by college, most people have stopped growing so the need for new clothes and shoes is not always paramount. Or, it could be that checkbooks are limited and money is low.
Despite the fact that back-to-school shopping is not something widely said by students in college, the point is that new supplies, clothes, and shoes are oft times still needed. The trick is to find the best deals on what you need and to save by not spending on the things you already have!
Before going out and buying more paper, notebooks, folders, sticky notes, 3×5 cards, pencils, pens, highlighters, etc; take an inventory of what you already have. Odds are, you have an old notebook that is only half-used. This would be perfect for a class that you know won’t require much note-taking. Perhaps you already have a folder or binder that is in good use. Just change the label/title and re-use it! No need to buy what you already have!
When it comes to clothes and shoes, look for sales and discounted stores. There is a great store in Provo, Utah and other locations called Susie’s Deals. This is a great store because it has brand new clothes for only $5.99 or less. It is great because they sell many clothes at a discounted price. You may even be able to see the original price tag and see that you are getting an article of clothing from another brand that used to be worth about $40 for only $5.99! There are ways to find new clothes and shoes! Just be a bargain shopper and you can look nice without spending too much!

Have you ever noticed that you do better in some classes than others? This may be simply because of the subject matter, but it could also be due to different teaching and learning styles. Here is a list of some of the different learning styles, see which one you are and how you can learn more effectively.
Visual (Seeing) -
This group of learners likes to see the material rather than touch or hear it. These learners are often fond of seeing pictures, slide shows, and graphs.
Aural (Hearing) –
This group likes lectures and other audible lessons. This learner can easily recall information that has been spoken to them. They would rather hear the teacher give a lesson than read it on their own.
Logical (Logical Reasoning) –
This group is all about making connections and seeing patterns. These learners love math and other sciences that make logical sense. They enjoy finding connections to other objects, even if they seem somewhat unrelated.
Physical (Touching) -
This group is a hands on group. These people love to do what is being taught to them. They like to repeat exercises in class in order to memorize information. By doing things with their hands they can easily remember and memorize data.
Verbal (Speaking) –
This group is often found in a study group. These students enjoy smaller classes where they are capable of asking more questions and working in small groups. They are best at studying by discussing the material with others in the same course.
Now remember, not everyone fits nicely into a certain category, many people enjoy different learning styles.
What method are you? What have you found to be the most useful learning tool?
