Curious to learn about your high-school experience, was it epic or did you feel “disqualified”?

The high school experience is not a good predictor of an individual’s success as an adult.  It is a launching pad and for many simply an experience.  Oftentimes students feel disqualified by the box they fell into in high school.  Sometimes students are placed in those “boxes” because they weren’t ready to make a move, or opportunities were not available or attainable at that time. Regardless of the reason...it’s important for students to remember that: 

  • Academics standings will not determine the type of person or professional you will become, sure they can give you a head start, but that is it.
 
  • Test scores will not determine what kind of impact you will make in the world - poor scores may “disqualify” you from an elite university program - but that will not define you.
 
  • Athletics will not determine your standing in life. Athletes learn valuable skills, but high school sports are not for everyone for many reasons.
 
  • Extracurriculars can help you identify passions and/or areas of interest for your future and will definitely look good for college applications and scholarships - but again your participation is not required to be successful.
​​
​
The high school experience is simply a framework managed for students by parents/guardians, teachers, counselors, and society.  For some this experience is where they start to blossom, for some it’s where they peak, and for others it is where they exist.  The experience depends on the person & the circumstances - good or bad don’t let it define you! 
 
YOU HAVE A PURPOSE and high school may not be the place you find it.  Work with me to start defining your future!

Think Outside the Financial Aid Box - Think SCHOLARSHIPS!

3/25/2021

0 Comments

 
Money to pay for your education should not be limited to financial aid and school loans!
 
Scholarships are a great option to help pay for school expenses.  Scholarships are real, valuable, and not just for:
 
  • Students going thru hard times.
 
  • Athletes
 
  • Smart ones
 
  • Extracurricular participants
 
There are all types of scholarships for all kinds of humans!  So how do you get started? 
 
1. Write ONE solid essay about 500 words - The most common responses I get from students are:
  • About what?!?!
  • I have no story.
  • I don’t even know.
 
2. Here are some topic ideas:
  • What are your passions - video games, skateboarding, cooking, social media and why?
  • What are 5 goals for your future?
  • How do you envision your future?  
  • Why is pursuing a career important to you?
  • Tell about a book or movie that influenced your perspective?
 
3. Be honest in your writing.
  • Not clear about your career - be honest about that.
  • Need money to help you pay for school - be honest about that!

Resume Tips 2-17-20 SkillsConnection.org by Yeri De Luca

Students and humans in general undervalue their skill set when preparing a resume.  Most of the time, people are overwhelmed by the experience requirement.  Experience is a thing, but skills are equally important.  Know your skills and leverage them on your resume and for your job search.   My advice - inventory your skills, and:

  1. List them all on a separate sheet
  2. Add a SKILLS section to a resume
  3. Include skills relevant to the position you are applying for
  4. Computer skills should always be included, because computers run the world.


DM me your resme questions or send your resume for review.

Career Tips Template by Yeri De Luca

Student-Athletes often forget to leverage their athletic experience on a resume. 

 The time spent participating in sports is valuable time and should be included on a resume, including sport(s), years played, accomplishments, time devoted to training, etc. 

 Sport(s) participation is a great way to gain experience and skills - skills that transfer into college and the workforce.

The experience and skills gained can be listed under various sections on a resume, for example, a section titled: 

SKILLS or RELEVANT EXPERIENCE 

***A transferable skills in an ability or expertise which can be applied in a variety of roles or occupations.
