We had a great presentation for seniors yesterday titled "Making College & Career Count." some key points:
* When choosing your career/major, consider strengths, interest, future job market (refer to occupational outlook handbook at www.bls.gov/oco).
*Be able to prove you have important skills and winning characteristics for success
* What brand are you? When you hear the brand Nike, what images come to mind? When people hear your name, what images/description comes to mind? What you do and how you act decides your brand.
*only put on the internet what you would put on your resume. 45% of those hiring do a google search to find out more about you.
* Manage your time like it's money. Currently high school age group spends 28 hours per week surfing the web. That cuts into study,work,sleep, etc time.
* managing finances.
* Networking tips
