  • 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!

  • 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.

  • April Showers Bring…

    April Showers Bring…

    You’ve heard the old adage that “April showers bring May flowers”. While this winter has been seemingly endless, it probably feels like those flowers will never come. But one thing is certainly in bloom this month – studying, exams, college applications and scholarship searching.

    April is one of the busiest months in the life of a student. With final exams coming up quickly, you’re probably wondering how you can fit everything in. Hanging out with friends and family, exercising and taking time to do things you love are important, too. Taking care of your mental and physical health will go a long way to ensuring that you are relaxed and ready to ace those exams. If you need help studying, we’ve got tons of tips on how to make the most of your book-time. Don’t forget to scope out the JobsPeopleDo.com archives – we’ve got plenty of editorial pieces that are sure to fit your situation and give you the advice you are looking for.

    In case you haven’t already, you need to add getting your volunteer hours onto your (already full) plate. If you find a cause or charity that really fits with your interests, the forty required hours will fly by. There are more benefits to volunteering than just completing your mandated hours to graduate – as you’ll see in one of this month’s featured articles, volunteering looks great on a resume, too.

    Take some time to click around our over 600 job videos. During your clicks you might just find the one career that speaks to your innate interests and skills.

    Have a great April!
