QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all of your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality/ Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your objective. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

TIP OF THE DAY

A new college grad? Don't put your education first. It positions you to look like every other college grad--your competitors. Instead, use a summary and emphasize your experience -- papers you've written and jobs or volunteer work you've held.
