Strong words to use on a Resume

If you have ever had to write a resume for work or for an application, then you know the hardest part is figuring out what type of words to use that sound professional and and intelligent.

Example: If an application asks you if you have any relevant experience for a job at a day care center and you have experience, like you have babysat children. You would look at the words in the columns to see what words you should use that will help your resume stand out. You might put down “Have supervised and attended to children on a regular basis.”

I hope this is helpful to you.

Now this is a great resume list of action words.  I love that it’s broken down by types of jobs.  Saving for future use.

So, recently I handed in my dissertation. This was the biggest piece of work that I have ever done. I wrote 10,000 words on the topic of women’s friendship in the early modern period as presented in letters. And let me tell you, it was tough. Incredibly so. But it was manageable! And it can be for you too! If you plan to go into higher education, writing a dissertation, thesis, or project, is inevitable. So I’m here to tell you how to plan and execute a huge piece of work. As my background is primarily History, this will be more about humanities than sciences. But I hope that I can help you out!

Choosing a topic:

Choose something you like. Because by the end of it, you’re going to be sick of it. And, trust me, it’s better to be sick of something you’re actually interested in.

Look at the stuff you’ve done in the past and think about what you liked about each module. Gender? Politics? Semantics? The great thing about a dissertation is that you can explore which ever topic you feel like.

Research. Read everything you can on the topic. When you think you’ve read enough, read some more. The more you research, the better idea you’ll have as to whether your topic is viable. Google scholar is awesome, use it! And Jstor. And your university library. You have so much material at your fingertips, you just gotta find it.

Look at which sources are available to you. I stupidly chose a question which was very difficult to research. This was okay, as I was passionate about the topic and willing to travel to archives. But if you can’t think of anything to write about, maybe see what primary material is available to you at your university/college.

Originality is key for a huge piece of work like this. This is the most difficult part of choosing a topic, in my opinion. Think of something that hasn’t been done before, or come to a new conclusion. Trust yourself, your opinions are valid!

Primary sources are the most important thing here. Read them before you read too much secondary material. This way, you can find your own opinions on the subject without just appropriating what has been already said.

Talk to people who know what they’re talking about. Your university pays lots of professors whose job it is to advise you. Go and talk to them! They may be able to give you some new perspective.

Planning your essay:

How do you eat an elephant?

One bite at a time.

This is the most important thing I can say to anyone planning a huge piece of work. If you do a little bit every week, then you’ll be fine. You DO NOT want to find yourself a week from the deadline, with still 5,000 words to write. I know some people who did that, and they suffered. Badly. So keep plugging away at it, and you’ll get it done in time. Here are a few tips which I learned the hard way…

Give yourself plenty of time to research. I spent 3 months just reading before I even thought about making a solid plan. Only after doing loads of reading and thinking can you come up with a way to tie together everything you’ve learned.

When making a plan, decide how many words to devote to each “chapter.” This means you won’t go over the word limit. And editing is the worst.

I made quite a long detailed plan in order to structure my thoughts. That plan became my bible. It might not work for you though.

This is my favourite way of planning my essays. It’s such a useful guide, so simple, and so helpful. Give it a look! I’ve been using a similar technique since I started uni, but this is better tbh.

When researching, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, write down where you found the information. Page numbers, author, publisher, date of publication, editions, chapter titles, chapter page numbers. I spent 4 days after I had written the whole thing just trying to find this one God damn article which I had read nearly a year ago. It was a nightmare.Please. Record the bibliographical information.

Write all the important dates in your diary/phone. I also used “monthly reminders” so I was constantly aware of how long I had left.

Give yourself a week to edit and create your bibliography. It’s nice to edit at your own pace, not at a rush.

Give yourself lots of room for disasters! When I was planning my essay, I had no idea that I was going to break my arm, and be in cast for half of the year. I obviously did not predict that. But I had an adaptable schedule, which really helped me.

And make sure to regularly back everything up! I lost a load of work and it sucked so bad. Don’t let that happen to you.

The Writing:

Give yourself your own deadlines. Say that you need to have written the first chapter three months before the deadline, or something like that. This means that you won’t be rushing at the end, and you might be able to give drafts of chapters to your supervisor to read over.

It’s alright if you don’t write perfectly on the first try. Splurge your ideasall over the paper! Freewrite everything you want to say. And then, after a cup of tea or a nap, come back to it. You’ll feel much better for it.

You don’t have to start at the beginning. Maybe write the chapter that you have the most information for first, to give yourself some confidence. Or, maybe start with the worst first, to make the rest seem less daunting. It’s up to you, both strategies have merit.

Daily word counts are great when you’re reaching the deadline. I knew I had to write 150 words every day in order to hit the deadline - I exceeded this every day, which made me feel awesome about myself and gave myself loads of confidence.

Talk to people about it! I find that talking about my opinions out loud really help me formulate my ideas in my head.

Do loads of proof reading. I discovered two days before the deadline that I had been spelling “amicitia” wrong consistently. It was pretty embarrassing.

Ask your friends/family to read it through. Even if they don’t  understand everything, they should be able to help with grammatical errors and such like. When you’re sick of reading your own words (which is very quickly for me) you’ll be thankful for the second opinion.

TRUST YOURSELF AND YOUR ABILITY, YOU CAN DO IT.

Microsoft OneNote tutorial for study, class and lecture by emmastudies

Hello! I have had numerous people message me about how I structure my notes for OneNote so I thought I would put together a tutorial! Above is a small run down of the program and my little two cents on each feature. But now I’m going to go into a little more detail to help anyone who is looking for somewhere to type their notes. Through I’ll suggest my ideas on how to use OneNote for different reasons including study notes, class notes and lecture/tutorial notes.

Set up and use:

Start by downloading OneNote from the App Store or from their website if you’re using a PC. It is free!!! I would definitely recommend downloading the mobile or tablet app as well.

Sign in with an Outlook account and begin making your notebooks. For high school I would suggest a new notebook for each class. For university, I had one notebook for the entire semester. As I go into my second semester I’ll make a new one, and so one. For study notes, it is up to you. You could either make one notebook for all your study notes and use sections to divide per subject or make a new notebook for each subject again. Or simply and a new section in the existing notebook. Notebooks are linked to OneDrive meaning you can close the notebook and reopen it at any time. They’re automatically saved too, so you can edit on your phone and when you use your computer it is updated!

Start creating sections. These act as dividers so depending how you have structured your notebook, make them for either each topic of your subject (high school) or each of your classes/subjects (university). For my high school class/study notes I made a new section for each new topic and for university I have one per subject. As you can see in the photoset; my notebook was legal studies (subject) and each section was for a topic (crime, human rights, family, consumers, assessments and homework).

Create your pages for each time you have class. Add the title of what you’re doing and start typing your notes. For my lectures I usually just name them “lecture 1”, “lecture 2” because I’m lazy, however for study notes I would use each subheading of the topic in the syllabus. If you’re wanting to understand my headings and subheadings completely I suggest checking out the legal studies syllabus that I created the above notes too (you can see it here on page 26).

Time for decoration and colour coding. Usually as I’m typing I bold or underline and colour code but you can always go back and do it as a revision method. This also gives you a chance to add any extra information you find! You can see an explanation of my colour code in the final image of the photoset. I found colour coding and formatting super helpful when I was studying for my HSC final exams!

Printing time! When I had finished my study notes (or class notes) I would print them so I had a physical copy to highlight and annotate. Here is where it gets a little fiddly. To print on one A4 size piece of paper without cutting off half your text, you need to shrink the size of the text box. This is what you might see - with half the text cut off. I would say reduce it to about half the original size - you can usually see on print preview how close it is to the edge. After you have made the textbox thinner, it should look like this. Another tip is printing using one sheet for two or more pages. This helps to reduce the amount of paper you’re using. On the print settings look for “pages per sheet” and change it to the number of pages you want (obviously the more pages, the smaller the font). It should look something like this (I’m not 100% sure if every computer or printer has this option, but for reference I use an Epson printer).

That is pretty much it for how I use OneNote for my all my different types of notes! It is very simple once you’ve organised everything! I would 100% recommend this program. We were advised to use it in year 9 when we received laptops from the government and I’ve not stopped using it. Althought there are some different between the Mac and PC versions, the main elements are the same. However you can check out this post by @vanesastudies which is for the PC version. I hope this tutorial was helpful. If there is anything I’ve missed out, drop me an ask. Thank you for reading! x

[studying-engineering]

Do you have any tips for studying without writing or typing? I've damaged my wrists so will have to do this year of school vocally, and I really want to get the grades for uni :) Thank you! x

Hello! I really hope you do get well soon :)

But I’m really sorry I can’t give you an advice here, I’m not much of a vocal person. Other studyblrs who can help?

[studyingbrains]

Hey @freakyandproud !

You could try the following (I hurt my wrist really badly a few years back).

Content:

Read a few pages of your required textbook 

After every few pages pull out your phone or a recorder and summarise out aloud what you just read (you can use the book to prompt you).

Listen back to the recording and correct yourself; make yourself more concise. Essentially you’re having a conversation with a recording of your own voice. 

Try to give yourself a target e.g. “summarise the topics in chapter three in under 3 minutes”.

Exams/Assessment:

You won’t be able to write essays or do practice papers but make sure you have them. Download/print them. 

Record yourself reading the questions and answer them to the best of your ability

Listen back and correct yourself. Then keep doing this until you have good recordings without “umm” or “err..”.

Revise from those by listening to them again (you’d be surprised how critical you are of your own voice lol).

Try to make them as short as possible but packed with information.

Time yourself reading 3 pages (1500 words whatever the word count is) of information (from a textbook or your own writing) out aloud so you can see how long you need to be talking for. 

I hope that helped.

Recently I passed my Driving Test, and have had a few people asking for me to do this masterpost and it is finally finished! I’m going to cover tips for learning, tips for during the test, and resources you can use! This is UK centric, though I doubt it can be very different for other countries. Before I start, ask your parent or guardian or whoever will be able to pay for this. Learning to drive can be quite expensive. The average cost of an hour’s driving lesson is £24; if you need 47 hours of instruction before passing your test, it’ll cost over £1000 to get your licence – plus the cost of your licence and your tests.

Cost of Learning to drive infographic

The Highway Code

As soon as you decide you want to learn to drive get a copy of the highway code. Then, read it, cover to cover. To help myself, I went over sections I found hard to remember a few times and repeated it to myself.

While you are on the road, be that cycling, on a bus, a taxi or just walking, take note of what others are doing and why. There’s the obvious ones like speed limit and traffic lights, but what about parking or large complex junctions.

Driving lessons. 

Get driving lessons before you take your theory test because having real life experience on the road will help you visualise your answers. But (!) also practise outside of your lessons as much as you can. 

Anyone you pay to teach you to drive must be either:

a qualified and approved driving instructor (ADI)

a trainee driving instructor

Find a driving instructor in your area (UK)

Ask your friends that have passed who taught them.

Call up companies or driving schools you have heard of 

Make sure they are local to you or in a location you think would be good to learn to drive in (varied road type, calm, simple. suburbs work best imho)

It’s important to make sure your instructor is right for you. Try to choose an instructor who

has a good reputation

is reliable and punctual

has a car that suits you

Theory Test

The questions in the multiple choice test are taken from three books

The Official Highway Code

The Official DVSA Guide to Driving – the essential skills

Know Your Traffic Signs.

The Driving Theory Test Explained in a video

Link what you’re learning to your own experiences: for example, think about where you’ve seen an example of a road sign and use this to help you remember what the sign means.

Use mnemonics: these are sayings or stories that help you remember something – for example, ‘Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain’ reminds you of the colours of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).

Practice the question formats: as well as knowing all the information, you’ll also need to know how the questions are asked in the test. Use the practice test and the self-assessment questions in The Official DVSA Theory Test for Car Drivers.

Plan your study: set yourself some timelines and targets. This will help you to see your progress and make sure you haven’t missed anything. Plan to do your studying somewhere you won’t be disturbed and at a time when you’re fully awake.

Get help: use friends, family, your driving instructor or your colleagues from work to ask questions and share driving experiences.

You can read these and learn from them, or you can use other resources. I found these much more useful because they ask you the questions in the same way as the real test.

The Practical Test

Don’t take it until you’re ready! 

Don’t worry if you think you should be making faster progress. On average it takes people 45 hours of driving lessons and 22 hours of practice with relatives or friends to learn to drive.

Good ol’ Buzzfeed made this: Top Ten reasons people fail (so make sure you’re on top of them!

Don’t book your test at a time when you know other stressful things are happening, such as school exams

Make sure you get a few good nights’ sleep before your test - you’ll feel more stressed if you’re tired

Avoid too much caffeine before your test: it might make you feel jittery and nervous

Arrive at the test centre about 15 minutes before your test is due so you’re not hurried but you’re also not waiting too long.

Talk to the examiner during the test if you want to – but remember that they might not say much because they don’t want to distract you from your driving

Be positive: focus on passing your test rather than worrying about failing it.

DON’T FORGET YOUR DRIVING LICENSE

Get to know the area you will be taking your test in. I really recommend doing your lessons in the location you will be taking your test. 

If it’s a new location to you, google it or go for en explore there, or practise in your spare time! It could mean you do different manoeuvres, and you can practise those more. 

You made a mistake? Take a breath, and then try again, or move on.  

Don’t count your mistakes, it will build up and panic you. 

If you forget a command, you can ask! 

Revise the questions for the beginning of the test. Your instructor should go through them or give you a sheet to learn them. Use studyblr techniques just like for school!

Get to know a car engine and how it works, where everything like brake fluid, engine oil etc is and how to check it. Visual practise is invaluable.

Teaching ‘Buzzwords‘

If you’re writing a teacher training application, going for interviews or writing PGCE essays then having some hot-this-minute education buzzwords in your application/repertoire is going to help you out, so long as you can use them correctly in context!

Here’s a few that I feel are becoming more commonplace and some explanation of what they mean. I try to subtly work some in when going for interviews or when writing applications:

Progress - This is THE word of the moment. As the government has abolished levels (why??!), how much progress children make is now what schools are measured on. Generally, all children should be ‘secure’ in their year group level expectations at the end of each term to be progressing sufficiently. (Although if a child starts at a lower level than the expected year group level and makes sufficient progress, this is deemed fine). Around 80% of the cohort must make ‘good’ progress by the end of the year.

Assessment for learning - This basically means that informal or formal assessments must feedback directly into planning and teaching i.e. when you mark work, you incorporate class strengths and weakness into planning for the upcoming lessons to best help them succeed and fill in knowledge gaps.

Differentiation - This is another key term! It refers to the process of you adjust the work/teaching to best suit the varying ability levels in the class. It’s important to show that you can adapt to support the lower achieving, higher achieving, SEND pupils as well as the averagely attaining pupils.

Cross curricular - Topic work/foundation subjects are often taught around a theme, interlinking different subjects so that the children can apply knowledge across subjects (often without even realising it!) For example, when teaching about the Romans in History, you may teach about the Geography of Italy, make pizzas in D&T and make Roman restaurant menus in ICT, also incorporating literacy and maths skills.

Peer assessment - This is where children mark and critic work of their fellow students, often at the end of a lesson where “swapping books” is part of a plenary activity. Peer assessment is going through a bit of a craze at the moment as getting feedback from a fellow classmate as well as teacher feedback results in lots of reviewing by pupils and gives them lots of points to build on (OfSTED seem to be keen on this especially).

Scaffolding - This refers to breaking up learning into steps, starting with something the pupils already know and gradually increasing the difficulty or moving the learning along with the children comfortable that they have the scaffolding in place to help them conquer new learning/challenges.

Pupil engagement - This is another common term but refers to a great manner of things as well as pupils listening attentively. “Pupil Engagement” includes practical activities such as group work or lesson activities such as using whiteboards to give answers, coming up to the board to participate and using technology in lessons to enhance teaching.

Effective practitioner - This basically means doing all the things outlined above but also indicates that as a teacher the methods you employ suit the classes needs and children are progressing academically. Another related phrase is outstanding practitioner which is pretty much the same thing, but seems to indicate more that your lessons are of an OfSTED “outstanding” quality.

I’ll add more to the list as I think of them, but also if anyone has any of their own to add to the list, feel free to drop me an ask :)
