But ones they get into a college, most of them have no choice but to opt for a hostel because their residence is away from college.No matter how much the thought of hostel scares us, to be honest, it is really necessary for personal development. When we get into a hostel there are many physical, social and mental changes that one goes through. The main ones are listed as follows. · Making up our mind for hostel life Contents hide 1 · Making up our mind for hostel life 2 · The Packing 3 · Homesick 4 · Roommates 5 · Change in lifestyle Before one starts their life in a  hostel they imagine how it will be. Our m ind tries to prepare itself for every possible outcome. We constantly think about how we’ll live away from our family. How our roommates will be like, thinking about the place, food, etc. It happens to almost everyone and is actually very useful. · The PackingThis is toughest and most time-consuming job. We have a  huge list from the smallest thing like a  toothbrush to clothes and notebooks. The truth is no matter how much we prepare, plan and strategize we mostly tend to forget something and remember after we have settled in our hostel. The best way to avoid or reduce it is to seek help from someone  who already lives in a  hostel because only they can tell you the best. · HomesickOnce you reach there and it’s time for your family members  to leave, that view will be most painful and unforgettable. If you are very close to your family then you’ll definitely feel homesick the first few days even if you think that you won’t miss them but everything will remind you of them. I t is really hard to escape but one way of doing so is to distract yourself and indulge in some activity that diverts your mind from the thought. Many times when you talk to them you’ll end up crying after the call and it is perfectly normal. Hostel actually helps us to realize the importance of our family. · RoommatesBefore getting in college, mostly, we all have to choose the type of room we want AC/ Non-AC and no. of roommates. Mostly we don’t choose single bed as that will isolate us from rest of our students and the chances of making new friends and adjusting to the  new place will become harder. When we decide to have a  room with  roommates we wonder how they will be.Roommates can turn into your best friend or the ones whom you dislike the most. Having a good roommate is the biggest blessing because you will need them the most in your tough times so it’s important for one to build a decent relationship with your roommate. Most roommates have some annoying habit example, talking too much even if no one is interested, snoring, keep lights on for studying late, etc. Soon one gets used to it but if it’s really troubling you can always talk and find a solution. · Change in lifestyleEverything changes when we get into a  hostel, from the moment we wake up till we are back to our bed at night. Now our mom won’t wake up us and we have to completely rely on alarms. We have to go wash our clothes because there are few clothes that we can’t give to laundry e.g., socks, undergarments, etc. We have to  go for our breakfast, lunch, and dinner on time so that we don’t miss it.We have  to keep our stuff like ID cards, library cards, keys and money safe with us and be more responsible as we can’t keep losing stuff again and again. We have  to keep our clothes properly to avoid wrinkles and properly dry the washed clothes. We have to look after our health and hygiene. Now we ourselves have to study as there will be no one to tell us to study. We have to  r emember about medicines, if any, sleep on time and not to forget our stuff in the  bathroom when we return. It sounds tough but it will be normal ones we get used to it.One can tell everything about life in a  hostel but to actually know we have to experience it ourselves. The ultimate aim is to make us responsible, self-dependent, know the importance of our family and develop and grow to be a smarter citizen. Once you find the right company and follow the right track, hostel life will only improve your lifestyle. It will be hard and you might face tough situations but only those situations will make you stronger and more confident. Lastly, just enjoy your hostel life because later you’ll miss these days so live moment to the fullest because once gone, these days will never return again.TAGScampuscollegecollege lifehostel lifestudent lifestudents

Cameron Brain All of us here at EveryoneSocial have been very impressed with Shaunda Zilich  and her team at Qualtrics.  Not only are they doing a great job leveraging social for recruiting, their company as a whole clearly has social in their dna.   Specifically their focus on employee experienceâ€"everything from what goes on in the office to highlighting vacations and other external experiences had by their peopleâ€"is super engaging and alluring.

Stephanie Scher Because our Talent Brand and Recruitment Marketing Team supports and trains our recruiters (and other Vanguard crew!) on social media, we have many employees who use social media well. Roy Cooper and Danielle McCormick are two great examples. Their secret? They don’t just post jobs; they post regularly and share a balanced mix of content including job postings, our careers blog, Vanguard thought leadership, and events and activities. They also prioritize watching their news feeds and regularly engage with (like, comment, share) the content that appears in their feeds. Stephanie Scher, Talent Brand|Social Media, Vanguard.

Its engaging, entertaining and informative she brings energy and triggers curiosity to know more. Eva Baluchova, Talent Lead, Levelup Ventures.

Do You Have These Underrated Career Skills

Do You Have These Underrated Career Skills There are some obvious career skills out there. “The ability to take orders” is what will do for many employers. But if you really want to get ahead in the career game, these are the skills that can make you stand out. You may not think they’re necessary but you may be wrong. Conversation starter People often say that we’ve lost our ability to talk to each other. The things that are usually blamed are mobile phones and social media paradoxically, the things we use to communicate. But this has never actually proven to be true. Nonetheless, many people do underestimate the power of someone who can create conversation with ease. It’s a great business skill. You’ll probably have to talk to customers, employees, or employers. Maybe all three. Eye for design You may not think your job involves much design. Maybe it’s not very graphical. But you don’t have to work in websites, architecture, or illustration to find an eye for design useful! If you’re in a room full of people who have no design experience, and you all have to create something as part of the job? Then you can make a great contribution. This skill, for example, can help you come up with a great design for logos and work uniforms. Send a design to uniform rental companies and your contribution will be worn by all! Handling the haters In most areas of life, you’re going to meet people who disagree with you. If you’re really unfortunate, you’ll meet people who hate you. It could be an envious colleague, or a disgruntled customer. Whatever the case, handling the haters is a surprisingly useful career skill. Speaking to a lot of people No, this isn’t the same as the ‘conversation starter’ section. When I say a lot of people, I don’t mean sequentially. I mean all at once. Public speaking isn’t something that most people anticipate when it comes to a new career. But it’s not just politicians and spokespersons who find this skill handy. The ability to talk to several people at once without suffering from stage fright will really help you stand out from the crowd. Writing well Never underestimate the ability to write well in any professional field. This may strike you as obvious if you’re looking at an office job. But I’ve worked in my fair share of offices, and let me tell you: not all the employees are particularly eloquent here! I’m not talking about the ability to write thousands of words about a particular point. On the contrary: writing concisely and to the point will help you to no end, even if you think the job won’t involve writing. After all, a well-written cover letter can help land you most jobs! Taking criticism Any good employer will provide their employees with feedback. And I’m sure that if you’re dealing with the general public that they’ll be happy to let you know how they feel about you! You need to learn how to take criticism. Criticism, ultimately, can help you improve your performance. A lack of it can lead to undisciplined work behavior and discontent. So an ability to take negative feedback on board and improve yourself should never be underestimated. Image Source; Image Source; Image Source
