]]> Let’s be honest, learning can be fun If we are making it fun! Nowadays, we have a huge spectrum of sources and search engines that are helping to find the information that we seek. In a few seconds, we are capable of accessing millions of pages that provide us with the material that we need. We can watch videos on YouTube to understand something in depth, to learn a new skill. We can use social media to expand our knowledge about the world and different cultures. However, not always we have an opportunity to access the information. There are platforms that allow you not only to track your progress in terms of studies but also to access the needed information any time you need – in visual and written forms.

Here are the platforms that are going to help you with your studies as well as to gain new expertise in the unknown field.

Udemy

The leading platform in online learning (features more than 80000 video courses from experts). Here you can learn literally anything and for a reasonable price.

LinkedIn Learning

The strongest online companion to your professional development is LinkedIn, and this app has gathered industry experts in leadership, management, marketing, IT, design and much more to provide you with valuable input in more than 4000 online courses.

Coursera

The application hosts more than 2600 courses in 11 topics, degrees and specializations created by the crème de la crème of the Academic field. You can stream video lectures, connect with a mentor and the best part is that courses are taught in multiple languages.

Let us know if you ever used those platforms and what was your impression?

]]> Being at an esteemed University like the EUC is one of the greatest experiences life has to offer. In short, the university’s life prepares you for the upcoming adult life. While working on obtaining your degree that will secure your future, you should not forget that there are many other skills that you need to acquire while being a student in order to stand out in the labor market after graduation. Employers are constantly evaluating their employees on many levels to ultimately decide whether to hire them to raise prospects for the business or not.  In other words, to figure out if you are the right fit for the company culture. You might be smarter, or more educated than others but that doesn’t necessarily mean you are the right person for the job.

You will rightly ask, ‘OK, what more do I have to do, what should I improve so that a future employer can see me as a potential business asset’? The answer on how to increase your employability lies in the work values that employers seek. Values that you have the luxury to practice at the university campus.

Commitment.

It’s one of the virtues that not only get you a job, but it can also create opportunities for an outstanding career. Not giving up on a project you’ve started, understanding that learning is a commitment you made to yourself, to evolve. Not because you want to be the best but because you want to be at your best, every single time. Being committed is a mindset that can only grow in time. Doing that academically, at a university will surely help it flourish.

Flexibility.

Being able to learn by implementing various learning techniques and completely different tasks for different subjects in unique ways can become very difficult at first. But it also helps you to understand the ways a class or a project can be addressed which will enable you to look for different solutions when a problem appears. And being a problem- solver rather than a problem pointer is highly valued in successful companies.

Team playing.

Just like a university, a working environment is a live mechanism where people must learn how to communicate and cooperate with each other for the common cause. If one of the gears moves slower or towards a different direction, then all will flop. Remember this. Learning together and working together means achieving together. And teamwork starts in our classrooms.

Adaptability.

Remember your first day at University, how awkward and unfamiliar everything felt and how far you’ve come since then? It’s a distant memory now and that’s because of the extra effort you’ve put in. This is the exact same feeling you’ll get on your first day on a new job. And it will take the same amount of time and effort.

Are you ready to take on your dream job yet? Stay loyal to your purpose, believe in you and you’re halfway there!

]]> It might be a term you’ve never heard of before, but it’s a package of skills you are surely familiar with and that your professors have stressed their importance repeatedly. Some say there are seven, some say there are more, it really doesn’t matter. What matters is to understand what they’re about which is, in short, developing the personal skills that will help you excel in any environment, working or academic.

What are soft skills?

Communication skills, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, leadership, being able to take responsibilities, determination, time management, and the competence to work under tension, everything that has to do with the manner you interact with your colleagues, your fellow students, and teammates in an interpersonal environment falls under this category. They’re a set of talents that show expertise, intelligence, artistry, originality, and trustworthiness. And the more you practice them, the better!

Calling them soft is underwhelming. And that’s because these are skills that are hard to master and they’re only obtained with experience, hence they require time. Improving them is also never-ending and they are massively important to the success of anything really. Can you imagine running a business, succeeding on a project without them? A Harvard study recently found that one’s success in a workplace is 85% attributed on soft skills and just 15% on technical skills. Soft skills are hardly gained and are invaluable.

Practicing your soft skills at EUC.

How are the above applied at a university campus? How about that research project, doesn’t that have a strict deadline? Or that student club you wanted to join, doesn’t it need a leader who everyone can look up to? Don’t you have to work together to assign and complete the chores of the dorm and let’s be honest, when was the last time that complaining about an exam really helped you more than setting a studying timetable and sticking to it?

There are endless examples of how your academic performance helps build and strengthen these skills and yes, you should find a way to put soft skills on your CV. It’s a reason to get that interview call you’ve been waiting for!
