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...

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...

I've never had a real job before, other than babysitting. It's hard to fill out a resume when you don't have any experience, and I'm not sure where to start. Some of my interests include theatre, running (track and field), and writing, so any jobs involving these things would probably be great...

I have created and re-created many resumes, but I never created a cover letter. What are their purpose, and why are they important? #job-search #resume #cover-letters #job-searching

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

I am a nursing student at a university and was thinking about a BSN from a community college. #nursing #nurse #student

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...

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?

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...

I was educated with the facts that the computer science population consists of 80% male. It may seem like a blessing to be one of the 20% of women to make a change and have a voice in the technology field, but to other women, it may seem a bit intimidating. What are some of your personal...

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...

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...

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...

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

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

I am considering going into Marketing or Human Resources, which I have been told are very competitive fields. I am looking for ideas on how to stand above my peers and have a more attractive resume than other people in these fields in order to get a job. #college #business #college-major...

I know that now, as a senior in high school, there are a few things that I wish I could go back and tell my younger self... such as "don't worry about what other people think of you," "be more outgoing," and "apply for more scholarships your junior summer." In the same way, I am sure that...

I am going to a Christian college to major in TESOL, but struggle to find scholarships that would be good for Bible schools. #scholarships

I just recently got invited to a scholarship interview, and wanted to know your tips on how to make yourself stand out. #interviews

Many prospective college students aim to apply to colleges with a name that is popular and more known. However, experts mention that smaller colleges can provide the same, or better, environment for students to learn. May someone clarify how this can be? #college #education #learning-environment

I am currently in my second year working towards a Bachelors in Business with an emphasis in Operations management. My end goal is to run a non-profit hospital that will serve rural areas. Initially I was working towards a Bachelors in Health Care Administration, yet people I spoke to in that...

In three years I will have a bachelors degree and I am interested in pursuing a Masters at graduate school. Many people are advising me to take a year or more off in between. However, I am worried that if I do so I will not have the drive to go back to school. I would like to see Europe and...

what do i major in if i want to study marine biology? #biology #major #marine

this year i am going to NTI and I was wondering since its only a year long to complete is it still just as likely for an employer to just over look me compared to someone that went to a 4 year college? #school #colleges #automotive #high-performance-cars #automotive-technician

I want to completely prepared for everything. #college-major

I am asking this question because I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up. I am a little nervous that I will make the wrong decision.

I have considered studying a Calc textbook during the summer to learn the basics and start to take my understanding of math to a deeper level. I would love advice on approaching the subject matter and becoming an expert in my field. Thank you in advance! #mathematics #math #major

I have been struggling to find an internship or job that directly relates to my major, so I was wondering if anyone has an idea of where I should work for my first job? I would like for it to relate to my major. I am not sure what I want to do with my degree yet, but since my first year of...

I want to be a glassblower when I grow up but can it really be all fun and easy? Is it hard selling your art? What are the best and worst things about being a professional artist? #career #art #career-choice #career-path #self-employed

I grew up in a house where money was always tight and we always depended on someone for financial help. I want to be an artist but I'm scared that I'll be in the same situation forever where I am never secure in my finances. On the other hand, I don't want to be stuck in a job that isn't...
