Not Everybody Likes Their Routine

When most people think of a routine, they imagine the typical girl from a positive lifestyle article in a woman’s magazine. She’s slim and healthy, laughing at a joke that nobody will ever know while eating a green salad. Or maybe she’s showing off her widest grin on her way to the gym – back from the gym; it’s hard to tell, girls in magazines don’t seem to sweat when they exercise.

5 Mistakes Job Seekers Make On Their Resume

Due to this a lot of students won’t bother mentioning their achievements from school on their resume. Certainly, they don’t want it to seem like they’re too focused on the past. But there are a few reasons why school does still matter.
