Don’t get discouraged: Never Stop Applying

Whether it’s a college or job, the key to success is to never stop applying.

College: When looking to further your education, it is important to research, gather the necessary documentation requested and apply. Depending on what program you are looking to enroll in, the acceptance process can be very challenging. SAT testing for bachelors program, GRE for masters program, letter of intent, entrance test, high school and/or previous college scores can all be factors that are taken into consideration. Such factors at times are the very reason why an acceptance letter is not sent.

Throughout my years of counseling friends, family and even myself, I have notice that the main key in getting into the program of your dreams is to not get discouraged. Just because one or two colleges did not accept you is not reason to stop or decide to attend a college that does not live up to your standards, keep applying.

Career: In these trying times that we are facing, it is very important to keep this concept in mind. Don’t Get Discouraged: Never Stop Applying (you can even change applying with trying) should be the motto of a person that is actively looking for employment in their desired field.
Attend networking events, career fairs and workshop, update your resume often, join LinkedIn and apply, apply, apply on the internet or in person.
