Recommendations for Incoming KCC Students

There are some resources/services I wish I would have taken advantage of earlier while attending Kingsborough. It would have made my life a bit easier. One of the services is the Academic Advisement Center. Go to that office to make sure you know which courses are needed to meet your degree requirements. Otherwise you’ll be like me with a whole bunch of credits that aren’t needed. The office is located in room M 201. It will help you find out what you need and/or direct you to other resources and services which may be helpful to you.

Another office that’s helpful is Human Resources located in room A 201. If you are interested in finding employment within the school, then come there. If you are eligible to do Federal Work Study, it is in here too. Not only is it possible to gain employment, it’ll give you work experience if you have none. It can also look nice on a resume. I wish I found out 3 semesters ago. It could have saved me the hardship of trying to magically find money for transportation to Kingsborough, books, and other necessary items for class (and those horribly tempting vending machines).

As a student in Kingsborough, you should visit these important offices for financing your courses. For me they are the: Registrar, Bursar, and the Financial Aid Office.

I handle both misdemeanors and felonies. · Can you tell me about a typical day on the job? There is no such thing as an average day for an attorney, you might spend whole day...

The Benefits of Having Your Visions/Goals Outlined

We all remember creating some sort of vision board as a project for a class in either elementary school or middle school, and at that time, we either saw it as something fun and exciting to do, or just another stressful homework/project. As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow. This is most prominent amongst youths as we often get side tracked by social media, or other entertainment factors that hinder us from completing our daily tasks. 2. Motivation: When you wake up everyday, look at the...

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear. If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional. When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...
