She first presented on housing sustainability. We went over mortgage basics. This way we were able to learn the basics of what is all in your mortgage and what you need to know when applying for a mortgage. I really loved how she emphasized that we should use our budget as a guide. It really went hand in hand with what Loryn had taught right before. Once we learned the mortgage basics we were taught how the mortgage sustainability worksheet goes. Ellie did a wonderful job at explaining this work sheet, especially for those in the class that had never seen it before. We also were able to go over debt, mortgage information and ratios, and also interest. These were a part of the worksheet, so we just briefly covered these topics as we filled out the work sheet.

This essay is focused on the study of advantages on future career brought by work experience among graduates.With the growing popularity of so called 'sandwich' courses among universities in UK and Australia, many students would like to spend several months or even one more year for the chance of working in the industry before graduation from universities. A 'sandwich' course is usually organized by institutions as a university degree course which allows students to engage in the industrial placements for six to twelve months(Highfliers Research Ltd, 2012). Other than this kind of long-term work experience, placements during the vacations lasting several weeks are also popular among students with keen competition for these places among the applicants(Highfliers Research Ltd, 2012). In US, one out of every three university graduates has been an intern according to The National Society for Experiential Education(Watson 1995,cited in Gault et al, 2000), the ratio may have increased over the past two decades.This indicates that students generally believe work experience is beneficial in certain aspects given that some of those replacements or internships are unpaid. The following would discuss the relationship between work experience and a success future career for graduates which aims to give students an insight into the benefits of gaining work experience before entering the graduation job market. The study would base on the 3 sources given including a Journal Article, a research report and a web article.…
I applied to become a Mock Interview Mentor at the Career Center and was offered the position. With this position, I was able to help students prepare for their interviews and to eventually, land their dream jobs. I received students' cover letters and resumes and tailored specific questions for them, making the interview experience as real as possible. I taught students how to market themselves since interviews are an opportunity to sell yourself to the employer. After our interviews, I noticed that students felt much more confident and appreciated this opportunity offered by the Career Center. Previously, I had another internship with the National Council on Disability at the Republic of Panama in the Public Relations department. I assisted the department with press releases and created a marketing plan, which goal was to include people with disabilities in society. I learned how to work under pressure and how to reach goals with my team. As a member of these organizations and with my internships, I have enhanced my communication skills, my ability to work in teams, and ...(no se que mas poner aqui)…
