All about College Student

When writing a resume as a college student looking for the first job, it is essential to put some factors into consideration. Your resume should be unique and include all the relevant information in a way that the person reading it will see your skills, achievements and your interest in working for the company. Landing your first job or internship is very important and it is therefore advisable that you create an impressive resume. You can do this in the following ways:

The first thing is to get enough information about your employer. It would be impressive for your potential employer to know that you have something to offer them with your skills. You can do this by listing your abilities and skills in detail and stating that you would be pleased to extend those skills into the company. Do not just say that you would have pleasure working for the company, but also show how your skills will benefit the company. It will also be of advantage to mention that you believe in the company’s mission statement and that you will work towards accomplishing it if you get a position.
The second thing that you know is that a good resume should offer only the information related closely to the job you would like to get. This means that you should not include details that your employer may find unnecessary. For example, if you held a part time job working as a baby sitter, you should list only the skills that are important such as client relations, baby care and pet care.
Organizing your experiences is the other thing that you need to consider. Knowing how to organize them is essential. A good way to do this is to use bullet points or group them into short paragraphs. Avoid huge block paragraphs for these are harder to read. Breaking up your skills into short paragraphs or by using bullets will help you list all your important skills and the person who will read your resume will not lose or fail to grasp the main points.
The other important thing that you should do when writing a resume as a college student is to provide a skills summary. Such a summary will be a good idea because you may not have an impressive job experience yet. The summary will provide the person who reads your resume with the appropriate overview of the jobs that you have held.

Following these resume writing ideas will help you create a resume that will be impressive and that could help you get the job you always wanted.

We see a constant drumbeat of stories about how important it is to guard your online reputation – what people see about you online. For college students today, the task is indeed daunting. Many find that after a few years in college, on their own Facebook pages and those of their friends, as well as a variety of sites on the Web, they have built an “online footprint” filled with party pictures and not-so-flattering shots taken of they and their friends in various degrees of intoxication and all too often, in outfits that would even make the pictures NSFW (Not Safe for Work). And the truth of the way the world works today is that almost all employers – large and small – will routinely “Google” you when they are interested in you as a potential employee. And for many in the business world, pics taken at Mardi Gras that may have seemed like a great idea at the time can have long-standing consequences for students and other young adults when they go in for an interview for a job – if they even get that far! And it is not just pictures – as blog postings, angry comments, “down with the Dean” rants, arrest records, unflattering news stories – all can come back to haunt you in your job hunt.

What to do? Students now routinely will try and quickly “clean-up” their online reputation – by deleting embarrassing photos and closing down their blog sites – a couple of months prior to graduation. However, the Internet has a long tail and a long memory. You are likely tagged in countless photos by your “friends,” and besides, deleted photos, blogs, comments – everything – can still be viewed. Thus, what seemed like a blast on Bourbon Street or at the local club at 2 a.m. could indeed come back to haunt you when looking for a job.

Here in the College of Business at Southeastern Louisiana University, students are taking a more proactive approach to improve their “online footprint.” By writing for publication in web-based journals, students are finding that they can change what prospective employers see about them on the Web – at least on the first page of Google Search results! This is paying real dividends for them in their job hunting and beyond.

Under the leadership of David C. Wyld, who is the Robert Maurin Professor of Management, Southeastern’s senior-level business students are working hard to become published authors in web-based periodicals. In just over a year, well over a hundred students have experienced publication success, and in the process, generated many side benefits as well. And with the support of Dean Randy Settoon, the College of Business is gaining attention for its efforts to promote student success not just in the classroom, but on the Web as well.

It all starts with improving the research and writing quality by  “beginning with the end in mind.” Dr. Wyld integrates writing assignments – with a publication as the end goal – for students in both his International Management and Business Strategy courses. In the first course, students research and write about important management concepts and international travel/food. In the latter course, students also compose articles on management concepts, while also summarizing and reviewing both current and classic books in business and management. In all cases, students are provided with a template, allowing them to “paint by the numbers” to produce a well-structured article, but with room to show their depth of understanding of the material, their ability to carry-out research and analysis, and their critical thinking skills. However, it is up to them individually write and produce a high quality article, while having Dr. Wyld as a resource for proofing/editing their works. Once it is determined that the student’s article draft meets the guidelines for the specific assignment and are of “A” or “B” quality, Dr. Wyld then works with several online journals to place students’ works in the best possible outlet. From the time a student turns-in an electronic copy of their article, the path to publication can take from just a few days to a few weeks, depending on if Dr. Wyld has to work with students on making revisions to respond to suggestions/queries from the online journals’ editorial staffs.

You can view compilations of the publications produced by Dr. Wyld’s students at the following sites:

Management Concepts (http://toptenmanagement.blogspot.com/)

Book Reviews (http://wyld-about-books.blogspot.com/) and

Travel and International Foods (http://wyld-about-food.blogspot.com/).    

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What have been the results thus far? For students, having published articles online – and for most, it was their first experience doing so – has been an exciting proposition. As Dr. Wyld observed, “Moms and Dads still like seeing their kid’s work!” Students often share the items online with their friends and family via email, Facebook, and Twitter – and they are encouraged to do so to increase the online ranking of their individual works. Plus, there is that not-to-be-underestimated adrenaline rush of seeing a work that you poured over for hours on end on the Web, having went through an editorial process and now, viewable all around the world with the click of a mouse. 

But beyond the novelty factor, the articles have begun paying very real dividends for the student authors. For one thing, the articles consistently rank high on Google search results, meaning that when someone “Googles” the student by name, their article(s) published with Dr. Wyld consistently rank at least on the first page of results for them. And more often than not, the publication will be the very first item in Google searches for the individual! While the publishing program has only been in place for the past eight months, already students are benefiting from having a very, very positive thing come-up on Internet searches for them, rather than negative items (and this holds true for employers using any search engine). Also, students are encouraged to prominently list their publications on their resumes and on their own websites, which gives them a very positive achievement to talk about from their college career.

Students have also seen their publications generate interest beyond the classroom as their works hit the Internet. Students have shared their publications on their own Facebook pages and personal websites, garnering the attention and kudos of their friends and families. Additionally, through the magic of Google Alerts, several students have been contacted – and complimented on their efforts – by book authors on the quality of their book reviews. For students, this has been a big thrill, in that “important folks” – real authors of leading business books – would take the time to contact a college student in Southeast Louisiana! Even more impressive from Dr. Wyld’s perspective was one student who reported that not only did he receive a nice compliment from his book’s author, but actually engaged in an email dialogue with the author.

Brad Anderson, who is a Supply Chain Management major at Southeastern, had his book review published in the online publication, Bizcovering (you can view it here: http://bizcovering.com/small-business/summary-and-review-of-awesomely-simple-by-john-spence/).  Brad and the John Spence, the author of the book, Awesomely Simple: Essential Business Strategies for Turning Ideas Into Action, went on to engage in an email dialogue regarding the student’s career ambitions and how best to pursue them in these uncertain economic times. While Mr. Spence couldn’t direct him to a particular company, Brad greatly appreciated the time of a highly sought-after management consultant reaching out to one of our students.

In the end, this new and novel approach has been a great success for all. For students and professor alike, it has allowed what was formerly carried-out within the four-walls of a classroom and online in a walled-off environment for the course to be done on the Internet, producing a great opportunity for student successes to be created and shared worldwide. And quite importantly from the perspective of Dr. Wyld, the students’ effort-level on these assignments has been raised significantly since “raising the bar” and challenging students to publish their works online. With that goal in mind, Dr. Wyld has found that students have demonstrably improved their writing abilities and put much greater efforts into their class projects knowing that their works can be shared with a global audience on the Web, rather than simply with thirty to forty fellow students in their immediate classroom. Thus, Dr. Wyld would urge any and all professors in and outside of Colleges of Business to contact him to see how they too can become facilitators of their students’ publication efforts – for the benefit of all.

Even with the ready availability of a college student credit card, the majority of students going off to college these days do not have a clue how to handle financial responsibilities. When they needed money for something, they either asked their parents for it or they took it out of their savings from a job they are holding down while going to school. But the sad fact is that most of them do not have the first clue about handling financial or credit responsibilities.

You need to consider getting a college student credit card for your son or daughter when they go off to college or university. If you already have had a child in college, you know what I am talking about – even for as much as you plan, budget, research, and then plan some more, there is always SOMETHING else that comes up that they need money for. There is going to be that additional textbook, that very helpful study guide, those lab fees, parking sticker fees, and the list goes on. You sent your child to college to LEARN, and NOT to be stressed out by the financial obligations that are coming at them from every different direction every day.

Outside of the convenience for you and the much greater peace of mind for your child, there are other advantages to getting them a college student credit card. As they were growing up to this point, chances are great that they did not learn fiscal responsibilities. This is not something that you should beat yourself up about – with the hectic life of the high school student today, with soccer practice, football practice, band practice, various club meetings, an active social life, and of course the academics, there just has not been time in the day to approach that topic.

But at the same time, you want to give you child the best head-start possible when they graduate, especially in this very competitive and unforgiving business world. So why saddle them with learning about financial responsibility when they are stressing out about the job interviews, creating resumes, scanning classified ads, etc. When they are still in college is a great time to get them a college student credit card so they can slowly start to become used to getting regular monthly statements, learning about how little charges add up over the month, learn how interest accumulates if the balance is not paid in full, and how they will get stern yet firm telephone calls or emails from the card issuer when their payment is late. It is all part of the education process.

Establish a reasonable credit limit for them, which might be as low as $300 or $500. Do not allow them to have a huge credit limit until they have proven themselves as being financially responsible, because it is far too easy for them to get themselves into trouble with this aspect of “free money”. They will quickly learn that it is far from free.

The interest rate that they will get with their college student credit card is probably going to be higher than what you would get when applying for a credit card, but the lenders are taking a chance here, so do not blame them. After your child has demonstrated a good payment history for 6 months to a year, they can call the card issuer and ask for a lower interest rate, since once they have established themselves, then they have incredible power to be much choosier about whose card they carry.
