Hey
everyone! It’s that time of the week
again! I’m going over a list of the top
5 posts from last week! Just pretend
that the post was posted on Friday, hehe.
I hope everyone’s weekend
was fantastic!
1.) The first post that I would like to point out
is WheelCipher’s “Asking The Right Questions” post over on his blog My Kaplan
University Experience. In it he lists four very important questions
that anyone looking to pursue online education should remember to ask before
signing their lives away. Want to know
what they are? Go read the post and find
out!
2.) Cajun wrote another great post titled “Getting
that job: Your resume is perfect, you applied for the job, now what?” on his
blog My Ashford University Experience. He gives some fantastic tips regarding what
you should do after you have gone on an interview. Many people forget to do some of these things
and a small gesture like sending a thank you letter could really provide you
with a bit of leverage when it comes time for your potential future employers to
decide who will get the job!
3.) Ter wrote a post titled “Need Financial Aid?”
on the blog Financial Aid Answers. Here she provides some great information
about financial aid! It’s a quick little
post that specifically talks about FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student
Aid) related financial aid, what you would need to apply as well as what
happens after the application is filed.
It’s great post especially if you’re not entirely sure about how FAFSA
works!
4.) irishmum78’s next installment of the post “5 Simple Ways to
Save $10 a Day” at the Affordable Online Education Blog
is yet another very useful post! It is a
very quick read where she covers another five ways to save money. I like tip number 18; “Use your debit card as
a credit card at retail locations and avoid those $1 point of sale fees.” Like I mentioned in my comment, with some
debit cards you can sign up for their points programs. (You get points for every $1 you spend and
you can get things with the points when you accumulate enough of them.) It’s an extra bit of incentive to make you
use it as a credit card!
5.) Lastly, WheelCipler wrote a great post titled
“Developing Structure” on his blog My Kaplan University Experience. In this post he discusses the environment
that you work in and how it relates to your school work. He gives a few tips about how he deals with
separating out spaces to work. It’s a
wonderful read and can apply to anyone taking any kind of class!
Well,
that’s all for last week’s installment of the “Top 5 Posts of the Week!!” Have a great week!!
