Okay! You’ve figured out your career path, you’ve earned your college degree at Summit Career College and you’ve got an exciting interview lined up. Now what?
Beyond a glowing resume, employers rely on face-to-face interviewswith potential employeesto determine whom they’re going to hire. These meetings can be stressful but don’t let your nerves get the best of you.
Battle your interview anxiety by preparing yourself ahead of time:
- Know what you’re applying for. (This one seems obvious, but you’d be surprised.)Familiarize yourself with the company, what the position will entail and, if possible, get some background information on the interviewer.
- Interview yourself first. Make a list of common interview questions and practice your answers ahead of time alone or with a friend.
- Know where you’re going. If you’re not familiar with the address, map out your route ahead of time and try to arrive 10-15 minutes early. Don’t sprint in at the last possible second.
- Dress for the occasion. Sure, not every job calls for a business suit, but whether you’re applying for a legal office assistant or licensed vocational nurse, you should look your best.
- Know your value. Be prepared to list your skills, talents, interests, strengths and weaknesses. Let your interviewer know what an asset you’ll be to their company.
Remember, an interview isn’t just to benefit your potential employer. You want to make sure that the job you’re applying for is the best fit for you. If you need help deciding which career path to choose, talk to one of our career counselors at 1-888-492-3382 or online at http://www.summitcollege.edu/contact-us/.

Are you struggling toachieve a work-life balance? If your career is causing you chronic stress, maybe it’s time to look into alternative scheduling options.
Thanks to the advent of the Internet and the wide variety of jobs that can be done remotely, many workers are turning to careers where can they enjoy more flexible hours by working from home. Still others are pursuing jobs that offer part-time, seasonal or contract assignments so that they have more control over when they work and how much time they put into their job.
A great example of a seasonal or contract-based field is accounting. When you complete an Accounting Assistant program, you have the option to look for a position with a firmthat centers on tax season or hires assistants for special projects like client audits.
If you’re the type of person who’d rather work in pajamas, perhaps a career in Office Administration is up your alley. The skills you learn in the Computerized Office Administration Program would qualify you for a job in the growing industry of Virtual Assistants. A Virtual Assistant is a freelancer who provides administrative, creative and technical support to businesses from their home office. All you need is Internet access, an email account and a phone.
When you’re ready to pursue a career with non-traditional hours, our Admissions Advisors would love to get you started. Call us at 1-888-497-3382 or visit online at http://summitcollege.edu/contact-us. We look forward to helping you gain the work-life balance you deserve.

Do you spend hours and hours sending out resumes and going to interviews, but still have a tough time finding steady work?
Maybe you’re working for a great company but find yourself struggling to get the promotion you need to get ahead?
Sounds like it might be time to go back to school
Earning a higher education is a great step towards gaining the position you want in your dream career. Whether you choose to study medicine, law or accounting, a college degree can lead to more money, better benefits and job security. Although a college degree doesn’t guarantee instant success, studies have shown that full-time employees with higher educations earn a significantly higher wage than those with only a high school diploma.
More importantly, unemployment rates are far lower for college degree holders than they are for those with less education, which is really a big deal in today’s economy. Also, when you have a better job, you have a much better chance at getting employer-provided health insurance and pension plans. Imagine, from completing a college program you could secure a rewarding job, become healthier and develop a financial plan for your future.
One of the greatest benefits of earning your college degree comes, not as a financial return, but as a personal sense of pride and accomplishment. We here at Summit College want to help you attain the confidence and satisfaction that comes from successfully completing a college program. Contact our Admissions Advisors today at 1-888-497-3382 or log on to our website at http://summitcollege.edu/contact-us to find out more about the field of your choice.

Thinking about advancing your education to earn a college degree, but still aren’t sure whether it’s the right path for you? We’d like to help you make your decision by identifying a few of the many benefits to earning a higher education that go far beyond just the potential for a higher salary, although that’s pretty rewarding in itself.
In addition to creating better opportunities for you to earn higher pay, you’ll also increase your chances of loving your job. Attaining a college degree opens up a wider range of employment possibilities for your future. Since you get to pick your own course of study, you can choose an area that fits your personality and interests. Once you earn your degree, you’ll have a leg up on getting a job in a field that you know inspires and challenges you. You’ll also be interested to know that in general, jobs that require a college degree provide more job stability than those that only require a high school diploma or less.
Studies have shown that college educations also benefit people health-wise in that many of them experience less stress than non-degree holders, and they tend to make healthier lifestyle choices like eating better or not smoking. College grads also have a greater likelihood of gaining employer-provided health care benefits than folks without a college degree, which means better medical care. Because many workplace health care plans allow you to place your spouse and your children on your policy, your family could be better off as well.
Still not sure whether a college education is right for you? Or, maybe you’ve decided that pursuing a higher education is the way to go, but you’re not sure what steps to take next? One of our Summit College Admissions Advisors would be glad to talk to you about any questions you may have.
