  • Leaping Into Spring

    March is here, meaning the arrival of spring is not far off. While spring certainly means that the snow will be melting (thankfully) and the grass will be growing, it’s also a very important time in the life of students. Students in college and university are preparing final projects and getting ready for exams, while high school students will begin planning in earnest their next moves after graduation.

    This month, we are delving deeper into the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), a rapidly growing sector that will soon have some of the highest demand for new graduates. We’re also taking a look at how you can get yourself organized while you ready yourself for finals and, of course, we have sourced some of the latest scholarships and bursaries to fund your academic ambitions.

    Not sure what you want to study in post-secondary? Don’t fret – browse through our archives and our videos for thousands of different career options. Something is bound to spark your interest!

    From all of us at JobsPeopleDo.com, have a great March and enjoy the warmer weather of springtime!

  • Making the Most of February

    Making the Most of February

    February is traditionally the month of Valentine’s Day – filled with chocolates, cards and candy. It’s also the month of Family Day (or whatever incarnation your province has). Take advantage of this day off to spend time with your family and friends, relaxing and celebrating before you start to buckle down and prepare for exams and final papers.

    Indeed, no matter if you’re in junior high, high school or college, at some point in the next few months you will be studying for exams and trying to keep up with your homework. This month, we have study tips and tricks to help you through this challenging period. We’ve also found some great online resources to help you with studying English that will come in handy (especially if you’re behind on your readings).

    Our Community Living page is in full swing, boasting information on the transition from high school to university and scholarships and bursaries that are just for students with learning disabilities. As always, we’ve rounded up even more scholarships for students on our Scholarship page. Don’t forget to take the time out to apply for a few of these – the extra money to pay for your education will REALLY come in handy!

    If you’re on social media, join us on Facebook and Twitter.

    Have a happy February!

  • Don’t Fall Into a Routine

    Don’t Fall Into a Routine

    While routines can be helpful sometimes, when it comes to school a routine can often quickly become a rut. If you’re starting to feel the October doldrums, when the reality of your schedule, homework requirements and extracurriculars start to really set in, try switching it up a bit by taking some time for yourself. Go for a walk, hang out with friends or go to see a movie. Keep your brain active and ready to tackle your schoolwork by giving it a little free time, too.

    Here at JobsPeopleDo.com, we are keeping things fresh by preparing to add some new sections to the site that will give you even more insight into the jobs of the future. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) is a rapidly growing career area and we are getting ready to add a section to JPD that will give you front-row access to some of the best careers in STEM.

    As always, our scholarships section has been updated this month with some brand new opportunities for you to get some free money to fund your education. If you’re in post-secondary for the first time, it’s not too late to get some applications in and grab that free cash.

    Have a great October and a Happy Halloween!

    Welcome back to a brand new year of school! The first day (or week, or month) jitters can get the best of us, so it’s our hope that the advice we have in this month’s edition of JobsPeopleDo.com will help to ease you back in to the school routine. Don’t forget to browse through our archives, too – they’re a treasure trove of useful information that will give you tips and tricks for back-to-school.

    As always, we’ve got a list of scholarships for those of you who are entering post-secondary education. By now,  you’re probably starting to realize how pricey education can get, so be sure to take advantage of these opportunities for free money.

    We’re also thrilled to announce that we’ll be launching some new sections over the coming weeks and months that will highlight the jobs of the future, particularly in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). By the time you graduate high school, there will be whole new careers that you never even dreamed possible. We’re here to make sure you’ll know all about them and if they’re right for you.

    Once again, welcome back and best wishes for the school year ahead!

  • The Long Dog Days of Summer

    The Long Dog Days of Summer

    By now you are fully ensconced in your summer routine. Whether you’re working your first summer job or taking these two months off to hang out with your family, you’re probably not even thinking about heading back to school in September. Or, more accurately, you’re trying to not think about having to go back in four short weeks. While the prospect of summer ending can be daunting, think of the start of school as a chance for a fresh start. You can refresh your outlook and set the tone for the entire year. Create a list of goals that you would like to accomplish this year, whether that be getting higher grades or joining more extracurricular activities.

    If you’re making the transition from high school to post-secondary this year, you might be wondering just what exactly you should be expecting. Here at JobsPeopleDo.com, we have plenty of info on what you should be preparing for as you start this next phase of your life. This includes what to take with you to the dorm, how you can manage your new schedule (and freedom) and, of course, how to manage your money. We’re always on the look out for new scholarships for you – take a look through our archives and on our Scholarships page to find all the information you need to get the best possible start at college and university.

    While the summer is always a little quieter around these parts, we are working on some great new additions to the site for you come September. Keep checking this space for more updates!

    Enjoy the rest of your summer and we’ll see you back here on September 1 to help get you through the first day jitters.
