Since it is too late to find internships, how else can I make my summer more "enriching?"

I never knew that many internships demand applications by early deadlines, so I now realize that it is a bit too late to find any. However, I was wondering if someone could give advice on how to get involved for the last month or two before school starts back. Thanks! #internships #internship...

What info should I fill out under the "education" section on LinkedIn?

I am debating if I should simply enter my major, GPA, relevant coursework, and awards I received from/while attending each institution. Is there any additional information I should add? #education #resume #linkedin

How much information should I put under each LinkedIn section?

I am currently filling out the description section under each of my awards/honors on LinkedIn. How vague should the information be and what is the max number of lines/sentences I should use to describe each award? Should I quote where I got my information from (if I'm noting specifics)? P.S. I...

What are some quick resume boosters for prospective college students?

My cousin is graduating next spring and I want to help him find impressive and enriching programs to get involved in this summer. I know it is already June, but I hope to find something that can make him stand out on college applications. He likely has to start sending those out in August or...

What are some tips for building a resume that will stand out?

As an undergrad student with no work experience, what are some other sections that I can add to my resume to stand out? I want to show my employer that even though I've never had an official job, I have acquired skills that make me suitable for the position. #jobs #job #resume #working

Is there an "ideal" resume?

I have two resumes: the simple resume looks rather boring to me, as if it was made in high school (which it was!), but the professional resume looks like it has a lot of info that can deter others from reading it. What guidelines should I follow to make sure I don't put too much or too little...

When is it time to take high school achievements off your resume?

I accomplished many things in high school, but I know there is a point where future employers, colleges, etc only care for one's endeavors in college. When would one say that it's time to put "childish" things away?

List some colleges/universities with a great STEM program aside from the more-popular options, such as Ivy League schools, Georgia Tech, etc?

Many institutions that are cheaper yet offer the same, or better, education to students don't get as much recognition in the press. Can someone provide a list of colleges with great STEM and/or Math programs that are often "underrated?" #college #mathematics #colleges #stem #college-selection...

Why are merit-based scholarships offered by colleges demanding very high test scores and GPA's?

In the modern age, having a 2400 on the SAT (at least the previous version) and a 4.0+ GPA seems to be the only way to be fully-funded by universities, and for some that doesn't even cut it. Doesn't such standards discourage students from applying to those institutions? I understand that...

Can someone further explain the importance of visiting the potential colleges that a student will apply to?

I was blessed enough to visit two college campuses and see what it was really like aside from what was mentioned in the brochures. I would love for an expert to expand on the importance of going on college tours for students unsure of what college to attend. #college #student #colleges...

How does one become an expert in their field of work? (Maybe provide specific tips!)

As college students, we recognize that we must be distinguishable in our field, but many of us, especially those who are first-generation college students, are unsure of how to do so. Please expand on what individuals can do to become more experienced other than doing internships and working in...

When does lack of work experience become detrimental to one's chances of getting a job?

I am struggling to find a job this summer, and wherever I look, the employer requires me to have at least a year of prior experience. Should I still apply to those jobs with hope that they'll hire me? #jobs #job #experience #work #hiring

What percent of the material you learned in college do you feel you actually use in your field of work?

I am curious how others have applied what they have learned to their current jobs and/or internships. #major #work #learning
