How To Enjoy Your Summers

Go Into The Summer Proud Of What You've Accomplished

Study hard! The first piece of advice you should hear about having an enjoyable Summer Internship 2015 in Jaipur  is that you should work hard in school BEFORE your summer vacation. Go into the summer break as a triumphant young scholar who has had victory over every exam and paper they threw at you over the course of the school year. Of course, you can still have a great summer even if you got a D in physics, but you'll have an even better one if you buckle down and get that B, or A.

Make Sure You Enjoy Your Summer By Planning It

How will you plan this summer when you're busy studying for physics? Especially if you're having a challenging year at school, you might not have a lot of free time. However, the most enjoyable summers take a little planning, and you want one, right? You also deserve it. So, the next time you catch yourself daydreaming about when all of your homework will finally all be over, switch over to a productive mode and make that dream a reality.

Vacation Getaways

If you're chained to your computer this semester, or stuck in the library 24/7, you might be fantasizing about the perfect vacation. If you start your plans early enough, even if you don't have a lot of money, you and your friends can have a great time. Figure out where you'd like to go and start a savings plan. If you don't have a job, you can probably get one that will fit into your busy schedule if you stop by the career services office.
Volunteer Opportunities and Internships and Your Ever Increasingly Important Resume

As long as you're at the career services office, maybe you should look into work for the Summer Training 2015 application form as well. While it's true that you've already worked hard all through the school year and the idea of work during your vacation might not be so appealing to you, consider this: the work that you do this summer, if you do it, will not require you to write papers or do homework in all likelihood. It will be a different kind of work, and because you're choosing it, it will probably be more fun than what your physics professor makes you do. Equally important (at least), any work that you do during your summers in college will help you down the road when it's time to apply for jobs after graduation. If you do an internship or a volunteer position in a field you like, your experience will make you a stronger applicant when you're applying for a job in that field. And, if you happen to think an industry sounds great, take an internship in it, and find out it's not for you, that's information you should be very glad to have.

Using LinkedIn to Find Internships

LinkedIn is the professional networking and job searching social site. You may not have a full time job yet, but having (and taking time to update) a LinkedIn account is a great way to speed up your search for a good internship. There are three main reasons to utilize a LinkedIn account - creating a professional brand online, networking and finding internships or jobs.

1. Create a Professional Brand - LinkedIn is an important part of your Summer Training in Jaipur search because the site helps you work on personal branding. LinkedIn's Learning Center even helps users develop an appealing page that could get the attention of employers. By completing details such as seminars attended, awards, educational attainment, personal blog and all other professional achievements which prospective persons can review and evaluate, you are creating your online brand.

The goal is to differentiate yourself from other internship seekers, so it's important to spend more time building your page. One way to get positive attention is by becoming an "expert" by sharing industry secrets, tips and other types of information on the LinkedIn Answers. Of course, you'll get to be featured on LinkedIn as an "expert," so you should take advantage of this feature.

Utilizing LinkedIn to find internships shouldn't stop with creating a LinkedIn account and resume. Once you've developed a professional brand on LinkedIn, use it everywhere online, especially on job boards, forums and social networking sites. You can include your LinkedIn account on your actual resume, or direct managers, HR officers and administrative personnel to your LinkedIn account, so they can give your resume a better, deeper review of your credentials.

LinkedIn has an authoritative ranking with the search engines. Meaning, when a person does a Google search using your name, there's a good chance that the first result will be your LinkedIn page. If you want to be found by recruiters, you should be able to include specific keywords that will help HR professionals and recruiters find your LinkedIn page.
2. Build your Professional Network - The great thing about LinkedIn is you can use your connections to help get internships. Your real friends and colleagues will easily find you, since you are already connected with them by school, company employed in or other matching details.

You can also find a particular company or employee on LinkedIn. Once you find an internship program you're interested in, do a "people search" on LinkedIn and check if a hiring manager or HR staff members of that company are on LinkedIn. By clicking the names listed on your search, LinkedIn will be able to tell you if you are connected to the person. Your goal is to have a mutual connection with the "insider" of the company. If you're close with the mutual connection, you can even ask him/her to introduce you to the hiring manager/employee.
In addition, since it's a social networking site, you can actually make friends with these "company insiders" and get a better chance of being hired for an internship. You might even land an internship that isn't listed.

3. Find Internships and Jobs - Companies and employers with LinkedIn accounts usually post job openings and internship opportunities on their LinkedIn accounts. If you already have an summer Training for computer science 2015 in India program on mind, being exposed to many more options can give you a broader view of your future career. While you might find it more difficult to choose which company, office or establishment to become an intern on, you'll be able to know what career you really like and work on it by means of getting the corresponding internship offers.
LinkedIn has a robust search feature. It allows you to search by people, groups, companies, jobs and answers. You can join internship groups or create a new one for a chosen field and location, such as "New York fashion Interns."
Maximizing LinkedIn can help you get more professional connections both online and offline. Since you get to connect with other professionals within your chosen field, find internships or jobs through recommendations and build an impressive personal brand, LinkedIn should be a major part of your internship search plan.

College Internship - How to Prepare

Many college students find themselves having to work through their summer Internship for computer science 2015 in india break in order to earn enough money to pay for next semester's classes. Other students work during the summer mainly to gain relevant job experience that will help them land a high paying career after graduating from college.

One option that many students use both to earn a steady paycheck to pay for college tuition and to gain job experience is to work a college internship.

It can help a great deal to do some research on the town where you will be completing the college internship. Find out what there is to do in your new town and where people your age hang out. You can find this out from others at your college internship or by looking online.

College Students' Guide to Writing a Resume With Little Or No Experience

You've served your time in college, putting all your efforts into school and only have a few internships or weekend jobs under your belt. As you approach all the pomp and circumstance of graduation, you panic, realizing that you don't have much to put down on a resume. What should you do?

Believe it or not, you do have enough to develop a resume. You will want to start this critical document by directly emphasizing your objective such as "A career in the field of Human Resources." This is especially important if you are targeting a specific career path.

Next, you will want to "show off" your degree to your prospective employer. If this is your first job out of school, your education section is an essential element and will be a decisive factor in the hiring selection process. Include your G.P.A. if it is worth bragging about.

The axis of your resume is the Work Experience section. Naturally, if you went straight from high school to college, you will have less work experience than others who went directly into the workforce. All hope is not lost. You may have to dig deep to draw out experience. Remember, it is the way that you present the information and the quality that counts, not the quantity that you present.

One strategy you can use is to stress your relevant skills and personality. For example, if you were a Peer Minister for your university, write how you developed relationships with the students in the resident halls. Is there a crisis you helped to solve while in that role? One student talked another out of committing suicide by using negotiation skills. The manner in which you show these accomplishments on your resume can present you as an efficient problem-solver.

How about that position performing clerical work in one of the college administrative offices? Did you use customer service skills that could benefit your prospective employer? If you worked with the soccer team, did you help to promote the groups' events by creating fliers etc.? What promotion techniques did you use? This would be relevant if you are applying for a marketing position.

Do not count out your summer work, internships, and volunteer experience at church or charities. Use a work sheet to take inventory of the skills you used in all these capacities. Even though unpaid, it is the experience that counts! You may be surprised to uncover the skills you have acquired mowing the lawn and working (entrepreneur/self-starter) or at fast-food restaurants (multitasking). Do not down-play your experience because you do not have a fancy title. The heart of your résumé is the skills you have acquired that can be transferred to subsequent jobs.

You should not make light of your outstanding academic background. Your ability to do well in school with a variety of courses show you can be a fast learner for the organization. Highlight your successes in the academic courses that relate to the job requirements you are applying for. Did you make the Deans List every year? Were you the commencement speaker? Make sure you mention these achievements as selling points on your resume.

Include an Honors section where you list any awards, memberships in honorary societies, and special awards. An Activities section should show your activity in various organizations or clubs during your time in college. Did you hold a leadership role? Including these roles show your prospective employment your involvement and dedication to these groups.

Show your enthusiasm in your cover letter. Usually, employers like the can do attitude that young people bring. While you want to sell yourself and appear confident, you don't want to exude arrogance. Emphasize your willingness to learn and go the extra mile.

Everyone deserves a chance to be hired. Think of the resume as a marketing tool and you as the product. Sell, Sell, Sell your skills. If you market well enough, someone will make the purchase. You may not start where you want to be but you don't have to stay where you started. Remain confident and upbeat. If you do not get a response from your resume, try and try and try again.

If You Want A Good Job, Promote Yourself

The best employers keep their ears to the ground and listen for rumblings about college students who are getting things done. These employers maintain contact with professors, campus leaders, newspapers and community leaders, in order to stay on top of the "goings on" of students who are making an impact on and off campus. They want to learn of these students as early as possible, so they can follow their progress. In some cases they may even make contact or prescreen students, offer internships or summer jobs, sponsor campus activities or events and begin to build relationships.

Wise students are concerned with the number of positive impressions they leave behind, as they move through college. Those impressions should:
- Accomplish something worthwhile
- Be memorable
- Support the objective of obtaining a good job
- Make influential people take notice
Positive and memorable impressions help to make you stand out. When good students do good things and get noticed by respected and influential people, their chances for landing a great job increase dramatically. That's why forward thinking students look for ways to get noticed and remembered.

When you do things of note, as an individual or within a group, try to get them into the newspaper and include a photo. Find ways to get "written up" in the Campus Paper or be interviewed on the Campus Radio or TV Station. If you are active on campus and in the community, seek coverage of from the campus and local media, whenever something special is about to happen.

Always invite high profile campus leaders, community leaders, business executives and politicians to participate. You will get much more coverage when these people attend. The more often you can get into the Newspaper or on the Radio or TV, the better. Your positive contributions will be more readily recognized by employers when your name and face are already familiar to them. Therefore, don't ignore things as simple as passing out and mailing flyers for your events, e-mailing people in your network, making a video of the activity or performance and handing out your business card to influential people. In some cases, a press release or posting a video on "You Tube" may be helpful.

When your campus and community activities result in a positive outcome, don't be shy about asking for a letter of commendation. Additionally, when your work performance is exceptional, ask for a letter of recommendation. Recommendations should also be obtained from Professors who know you well and are willing to provide you with a letter.

"When others trumpet your good work, no employer can ignore your star."
To attract the attention of employers:
- Seek and accept responsibility for activities that are likely to be publicized
- Lead activities that will be covered by the media
- Perform to the best of your ability
- Act in a way that deserves attention
- Achieve significant results
- Demonstrate leadership and creativity
- Do good and help others
- Have others see, record, document or describe the results that were achieved
- Have influential people learn about your performance
- Be interviewed by newspaper, radio and TV reporters
- Include your accomplishments on your resumé
- Obtain commendations and letters of recommendation
- Build relationships with powerful references
- Associate with high profile and influential people who are likely to get noticed
When you perform an activity that deserves media coverage or achieve the results that would make it possible for you to obtain commendations and recommendations but you fail to pursue them, you have removed a powerful tool from you job hunting arsenal. Don't make that mistake. If you want to receive job offers from the best employers, be sure to promote yourself.

The Right Career Path

One of the scariest things is not knowing whether you're on the right career path. After years and years of studying for a career, you suddenly discover that you don't even like the profession and you're only a year away from graduation.
Many people go into careers because it's expected of them. Everyone in the family is a doctor or a lawyer, so junior must be one, too. It doesn't even matter whether he loves the field; the expectation is there that he follows in his parent's footsteps.
There are so many students who don't know what they want to do with their lives that they change their major almost as often as they change their underwear. They keep pushing the graduation date further and further away so that they don't have to make such a momentous decision.
When I was going to college, I wanted to become a philosopher. The trouble was that there were no job listings in the Classified Ads section of the newspaper for a philosopher. And I didn't know what else I could be. I certainly didn't have the job skills to be anything else.
I wish I knew at seventeen what I know now about picking a career. It would have saved me years and years of trying to figure out what I might be good at and what would hold my interest.
With age and experience come a lot of wisdom. Nowadays, I tell my clients to make a list of all the things they feel passionate about. Then, I tell them to take summer jobs in those fields, without pay, and see if they love the work. Not just like the work, but love the work.
I had a client who was in her mid-thirties when she came to me with a career decision. She wanted to get out of the field she was in but she didn't know what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. I knew she was good at science and math but she wasn't the type of person who could be described as the milk of human kindness. She also didn't like to get dirty.
There was one branch of medicine that I thought would be perfect for her. When I suggested it to her, she blanched and told me she couldn't stand blood. She had been my client for a couple of decades and I had a feeling that as long as it wasn't her blood, she could stand to see someone else's.
At three o'clock in the morning, I took her to one of the hospitals and introduced myself to the floor nurse and told her that my client was considering going into medicine but she didn't know if she could stand the sight of blood, and asked her if she could visit the surgical floor.
The nurse was very kind. She cleared the way for us, introduced us to the nurses on the surgical floor, and gave us clearance to visit all the rooms.
We looked at the IVs that were attached to arms, listened to people crying, screaming, or moaning, watched the nurses attending the patients, changing dressings, and all the other things that my client didn't think she could endure.
As long as it wasn't her blood, or her pain, she not only endured it, she was fascinated. The next week she signed up for a branch of med school that didn't involve her getting dirty or drawing blood, and to this day, she enjoys her work. She also has staff to do the dirty work and to keep the exam rooms clean.
For students who have no idea what they feel passionate about and who want a career direction but don't want to take unpaid summer jobs to see if they would like working in the field, I often send them to take an Interest and Aptitude test.
Many people have an interest in something but they don't have the aptitude for it and there are just as many people who have the aptitude for something but they have no interest in it. The Interest and Aptitude test scores it so that you see if you can match your interests with your aptitudes. Then, you have a conference with a counsellor to help you select a career based on your interests and aptitudes.
I don't think these tests were available in my day but even though they are available today, I don't think many students are aware of their existence. Moreover, I don't even know if they have counsellors who have the expertise to put these scores together in a meaningful way for students who are grappling with career choices for their future.

But I do know, now that I am so very much older, if I were starting out today, I would find a way to get tested for my interests and aptitudes and I would find a way of doing an internship without pay, to make sure that I really wanted to go into that field.
Instead of rushing through school so that I could graduate from college at twenty, I would have taken the time to apply for different summer internships to see what I wanted to do with my life.
The only thing I knew about myself at seventeen, is that I was always fascinated by the way people think, how they behave, and how one little word could change the way a person's thinking and behavior could be changed. And, most of all, I loved fixing everyone's problems and finding workable solutions for everyone's problems. It took me half a lifetime to find a career that lets me do the things I feel passionate about.
Now, I feel passionate about helping people find their own passion and directing them into careers that will bring them joy. Almost all careers depend on the economy but if you love what you're doing, even the toughest economy will be easier to endure than a good economy where you dread getting up in the morning to go to work.
