1. Become a Tutor

Although everyone may not have the experience and expertise to tutor someone on a specific topic, you might be qualified to tutor your own peers and may not even know it! Studies show the best way to learn something is to teach someone else. Pick a subject you really enjoy and find out how you can become a tutor on your campus. Not only will you get paid but it will also be a great experience to put on your resume.

2. On-Campus Job
There are many on campus jobs that are flexible with class schedules. From a Resident Assistant to a receptionist in the student center, the opportunities are endless. There are more jobs on campus for students than you think. Find out what student jobs your school has to offer.

3. Sell Old Textbooks
Once the semester is over and your done taking that dreadful english class, what can you do with your books? Sell Them! Often times your school bookstore will buy back old textbooks that are new or used. You don't have to resort to just your school book store. Try selling your books online on websites like Amazon.com or Ebay.com. You may even get more money for what the book is worth!

4. Note Taker
Believe it or not, you can make money just by taking notes! Sounds easy, right? Many schools pay their students to take notes for another student who has a disability. You have to take notes for your class anyway so why not help someone in need too!

5. Provide Student Services 
Sometimes if you want to make money you have to be creative. Ever think about having a laundry service for students on campus? How about a cleaning service? Find your inner entrepreneur spirit and create your own business on campus that students will enjoy!

Fruit
Feeling a little tired while studying for your exam? Fresh fruit is filled with fiber and carbohydrates which are a natural source of energy and a great way to keep you alert! Want to really increase your studying skills? Snack on a bowl of fresh blueberries! Studies show that blueberries can enhance your memory and your capability to learn. If you're not a fan of eating blueberries by themselves, eat something that contains blueberries such as a blueberry muffin, blueberries in your yogurt or even a smoothie that contains blueberries.

Nuts
Snacking on a handful of nuts can help your brain more than you think! Since nuts are filled with omega 3, they can not only enhance your brain power but also help you maintain your concentration too! Try snacking on walnuts to really get your brain going!

Yogurt
Yogurt is a great snack to help lower your stress level while they are not only a good source of vitamin D but also contain lysine which can help the brain function! Here's a tip: put your yogurt in the freezer for 1 hour for an even tastier late night treat. YUM!

Chocolate
Believe it or not dark chocolate is a great snack to have while studying. Not only does it help you stay alert, but it also increases the blood flow to the brain. Who knew that chocolate was more useful than just a tasty snack?

Let's Talk Business: Résumé Do's and Don'ts

So you've had some work experience, done some extracurricular activities and made some great achievements, but how can you fit so much information on one single document? You're résumé is basically you're professional identity so it's important that you sell yourself to employers the right way. Check out these do's and dont's on how to successfully catch an employer's eye.

 DO create a résumé that has a simple format. A simple font, proper spacing and appropriate arrangement makes a resume easier for a recruiter to read.

DON'T make your résumé look too "busy". Weird fonts and odd spacing make the résumé unpleasant to read and can often be rejected by recruiters right away. Also, make sure you proof read! Very important that your résumé is typo free!

DO include your name, address, PROFESSIONAL email and phone number in the heading of your résumé. Providing this information will help recruiters to easily contact you if interested in your qualifications. 

DON'T put unnecessary personal information. This includes your race, age, a photograph of yourself or your social security number. This information will not help you gain your future job and does not provide good use in what you really have to offer for the position. 

DO include a thorough objective. Clearly stating an objective that includes the position you are applying for or career objective that you have shows that you are primarily focusing on the employer's needs. Make sure it is clear, concise and no more than 3 lines.

DON'T include an objective that is vague and not specific. Make sure when applying for jobs that you change your objective according to the position. For example, you don't want to your objective to say "A teller position at _____ bank..." if you're applying for a receptionist job at another company. Embarrassing! 

DO include your college name, your major/field of study and your anticipated graduation month and year in the education section. This is very essential for employers to know your skills and level of education.

DON'T incorporate your GPA if it is not too impressive. A low GPA will show your lack of work ethic and will not be a good look in showing your best qualifications.

DO list your work experience in chronological order. It will look much better if you put your most recent job first to see what jobs you've been doing while attending school.

DON'T list any jobs that will not benefit your chances of gaining the position. You don't have to put EVERY single job that you've held. Most likely that job you had working at a fast food restaurant in high school will not be an asset in gaining that accounting internship. This is only acceptable if you don't have too much work experience, then it is better to show that you've held a couple jobs.

While these are amongst many do's and don'ts of résumé writing, it is important that you display yourself in the most professional way possible. Display your most important qualities and show recruiters that you have the skills and education to gain the position.
