More often than not, we are forced to study by ourselves. It isn’t often that you have a friend in the same class as you, and making friends in large classrooms can be difficult, especially finding one you trust enough to study with. However, experts agree that studying by yourself is just not as effective as studying in a group.
Typically, the subjects you want to create study groups for are the subjects you aren’t entirely comfortable with. If you don’t know very many people in your group, it can be awkward and embarrassing admitting how little you know about the potential test material.
For the most part, stick to common fonts. No one will respect a resume written in bubble-letters. This is not a middle school party invitation. This is a professional resume. On very rare occasions (creative industries), slightly unusual fonts may be acceptable. But be very careful about not crossing the line.
Most employers don’t need a full life’s history. Although you don’t want to omit past experiences (leaving holes in your resume), you don’t need to go into detail about irrelevant lines of work. Highlight only the jobs and skills that you have developed that are applicable to the job you are applying for.
Push the Limit
Rent Your Books
No Distractions
Eliminate the things that would typically distract you, such as friends or Facebook. When you have organized as a group for a shared cause, none of you have much time to waste. You are all on a schedule based on everyone else in the group’s schedule. Get down to business as soon as you meet, and stay on track the whole time.
Be careful with your formatting when you include dates, descriptions, and chronologies. If you use months in one job history, include months in all your job descriptions. If you organize your work history in reverse chronological order, make sure your public service, education, and other categories are reverse order as well.
Don’t underestimate the value of your free time. If you have hobbies, experiences, volunteer opportunities, etc., that have built character, skills, or perspectives that may be useful to the company/job you are applying for, include them on your resume! Employers are interested in you as a whole person, not just a pencil pusher.
On College Campuses all over from Nampa to Miami, more and more students are beginning to realize the importance and effectiveness of working in study groups. Not only does it save lots of time, studies have shown that on average, students that study with at least one other person score higher test grades. Don’t let your pride or your fear get in the way of getting the highest score possible for yourself.
The new Nampa Campus now makes it possible to earn your degree at a Nampa college campus. Beautiful surroundings, a wonderful climate, spectacular facilities, and an energetic community spirit create an ideal opportunity. All this, including small town friendliness, make our new Campus the perfect place to get the education you need to improve your life.
