If you are in college or plan on returning you may have mixed feelings about essay based tests. Sure they do offer you the opportunity to write down all you know rather than being tested on what you don't know like a multiple choice test. However, one annoying part of essays is writing for extended periods of time and the accompanying hand cramps. This article explains how to best avoid cramps during the middle of your test so pay close attention.
Before Your Test
Your preparation should begin before you arrive at the career fair. The first thing that you need to do is identify your goal. What do you hope to accomplish at the fair? Are you looking for an internship, a job, or to network? Perhaps it is all three, but knowing exactly why you are going will help you determine how to best prepare.
When learning HTML I would recommend learning XHMTL first. XHTML is an older version of the language that required stricter adherence to its rules. This will help you get in the habit of writing clear and easily navigable code. Once you feel comfortable move on to HTML5 (the newest rendition) which adds some nice perks to the language and relaxes the rules a bit.
CSS3 CSS (cascading style sheet) allows you to control the look and feel of your website easily and quickly. The idea of CSS is to control the design of a website without altering the content (content is written in HTML). A style sheet is a page that lists all of the visual qualities that you want your webpages to have. This can include color, size, style, etc. of your font. It also includes the background of pages, the look of tabs and buttons. Basically, all of your visual elements are contained within the style sheet. In reality HTML although it does contain tags to bold, italicize, control font size, etc. was not really designed to format content. HTML exists more to define the content as discussed above.
After having spent this entire time finding the right pen you don't want to have to do it again. If you can find a nicer pen that takes replaceable ink so you can use it over and over. If you prefer some reusable pens are also very comfortable. I personally preferred to find a great pen and use it through my college career; to each his own.
The latest version of CSS is CSS3. You can go ahead and learn that one first without worrying about differences that exist in previous versions. Remember, you can surf the web looking for designs you like and borrow the code. A better method would be to buy a design template that gives you alteration rights and work from there. You can also use free programs like composer to better see your CSS in action. If you are hoping for greater control Dreamweaver has always been a favorite but unfortunately it is not free.
Java & PHP I am lumping these two languages together because they are the key languages for dynamic web pages and are interchangeable at times (you can use either one to get very similar effects). Dynamic web pages include things like games, chat abilities, image viewing, interactive apps or advertisements. Java was originally developed for software and in-browser applets and has become a key infrastructure for web apps. Java shares many similarities to C++ (which can be a nice benefit if want to learn different languages in the future). Java allows the same program to be executed on different operating systems. No need to fear if a Mac, Linux, or Microsoft user makes their way to your website. Java contains build in support and is easy to use.
Pull out your list of companies and make your way through the fair in the order you have prepared previously. Approach each company warmly with a firm handshake. Be friendly and listen to the recruiter so you can best explain how you can solve the company's issues. Often you have to wait in line to speak to company contacts. Listen to the conversations ahead of you while you wait to gather in background information that will help you in your turn.
2. Hold Your Pen Correctly! I know you just read about holding your pen but it needs to be brought up again. During the test you will find that your concentration on the task at hand will cause you to forget about your grip until you realize you are cramping.
Every ten minutes or so, stop and look at your hand. If you are gripping to tightly drop the pen. If you need to stretch a little bit and then pick up the pen making sure that you are holding it correctly If you catch yourself holding the pen tightly, drop it, stretch if necessary and then begin again.
Databases can range from small shopping lists to a huge picture gallery with mountains of information. Computers using a MySQL server can easily manage the large amounts of data. The language itself is very fast and reliable preventing any worries you may have of losing the data in the system.
After Your Test 1. Stretch Again Just like exercise most long term problem develop during the resting period. Make sure that you stretch the following day and maybe every day to prevent any cramping in the future. Other than that relax and celebrate, you just wrote a great essay!
Organize the notes you took and record the information so it accessible in the future. The career fair is your time to shine. Regardless of if you are from a college in St George, New York, or Florida now is your time represent your school and yourself and find the job you are looking for.
