Evernote

Lately I am obsessed with Evernote!  It makes everything so easy! I even have a link to the Evernote notebook that I use for Study Skills.

It is not only an amazing teaching tool, it is great for smartphone user as a learning tool.  Go! Sign up! Sign in! Get the (FREE!!) app!

Get a Job!

Often in an interview, and employer will ask if you have any questions.  Don't be caught off guard!  Ask some good questions.  This could make the difference between you being chosen for a job over another candidate. 

Think about it...Are they ways that these questions could be altered to suit a college interview? A great question can make you a stand out candidate in any arena.
