Tip of the Week - July 9, 2012

For students with the graduation year of:


2008- 2011: Brush up on your grammar. More and more employers are stressing the importance of their employees’ proper usage of grammar and the English language. Some companies are even requiring that prospective employees whose desired position requires little to no writing pass a grammar test to qualify for the position. While our society becomes more lax about proper usage, you will stand out as a candidate who speaks and writes correctly!
2012:  Participate as much as you can at your college orientation.  Some sessions at orientation may be optional.  To gain the most knowledge and information about your college, take part in as many sessions as you can.  The more familiar you are with your college, the more comfortable you will feel when classes begin.
2013 and 2014:  Find out the dates and times of college fairs taking place this fall.  Mark these dates on your calendar so that attending them does not fall by the wayside.  College fairs can be a great opportunity to learn more about schools that interest you, or discover new schools you haven’t yet considered.
2015 and above:  Begin learning how to implement time management, organizational, and study skills in your life.  By implementing these skills now, you will develop good habits that will help you succeed in high school and college when your classes begin to increase in difficulty.
