Surveys

Thank you for completing the survey a few weeks ago regarding utilizing math within your program area.

Please complete the two following surveys regarding utilizing reading and writing within your program area.

OROS Scholarship

High school seniors may submit an application for the OROS Scholarship.  This scholarship must be submitted to Mrs. Koehn (not the OROS) by this  Friday.  Only one applicant from NWTC will be submitted to OROS.  More information is available at http://nwtech.edu/alvacc/oros-organization-of-rural-oklahoma-schools-scholarship-2019/.   I will be posting scholarship and job openings on the News page of this website as I become aware of them.  Be sure to check the News page periodically!  If you need assistance or have questions about the information I post, please be sure to ask!

Resumes

Have you created a resume in an easy to read professional format?  You should include a heading at the top of the resume that includes full name, full address, phone number and email address.  Sections of your resume may include qualification summary, education, licensure, work experience, additional skills, professional memberships, community activities, honors and awards, and references.  Be sure to use formatting that allows the reader to easily distinguish between the different sections.  Proofread your final copy.  Sometimes it is easier to download a document and work in Microsoft Word and then re-upload to the Google Drive than utilize Google Docs.  You may choose whichever method is easiest for you.  Links to sample resumes are available on the Resumes page – –  (http://nwtech.edu/alvacc/resumes/) –  of the Career Center website.

Be sure a copy of your resume in stored in the Google Drive folder I have created for you!  Do not “share” your resume with me from a different folder.  You may need to download it and then drag it into that folder I created but have a copy of your resume stored in the folder I have shared with you.

Job Applications

Many companies require the applicant to complete a job application in order to be considered as a candidate for that job.  Applications may need to be completed online or downloaded then completed using software such as MS Word or Adobe Acrobat.  Some applications can be sent electronically while other companies prefer a printed copy.  The Best Way to Write a Resume by Job Genius video provided above provides tips for completing a job application.  Download the sample job application to your computer and use Adobe Acrobat to complete the application.  After completing the application print one copy then upload it to your folder on the Shared Google Drive.  The information on your job application should be the same or very similar to the information on your resume!  If you have questions, please ask me for help!
