Jobs are not bountiful right now and even college graduates sometimes find themselves waiting tables for a year or two after they receive their diploma before they are able to find a job. So, with work force becoming tougher and tougher to break into, what are you going to do about it? Give up or fight back? Well, best way to ensure you will get hired at great jobs is to attend college. A degree is incredibly important, but it's not a guarantee for getting a job. Luckily, there are things you can do while in college to beef up your resume and make you stand out amongst all other applicants.

First of all, learn a foreign language. Learn two if possible. If you don't know right now how important this is, you will understand once you~re trying to enter work force. Many jobs are requiring applicants to speak at least one other language and you won't want to be turned away because you don't. So, sign yourself up for Spanish, Italian or Arabic and become fluent if you want your resume to outshine others.

Are You a Negative Thinker? By Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

Barbara sought my help because of her chronic fatigue. She had been going to different kinds of doctors and trying different nutrition plans for years and nothing was helping her. One of doctors suggested that she try psychotherapy.

In became evident early in our work together than Barbara was deeply addicted to thinking worst. Constant negativity went through her mind about every aspect of her life. She would get out of her car and worry about getting robbed. In social situations, she would tell herself that people didn’t like her. She was always worried about money, even though she was a successful graphic designer. Her husband could never do anything right. There was something wrong with every doctor she saw.

Negative thinking causes much stress in body. I told Barbara to imagine that she was telling these negative thoughts to a child. How would child feel most of time? Barbara could see that this child would, of course, feel anxious and stressed much of time in response to all negativity and catastrophic thinking.

The medical profession has long told us that stress is one of leading causes of illness. Stress sets into motion body’s fight or flight response, pouring cortisol into body and eventually exhausting adrenal glands. Adrenal exhaustion can be one of results of so much negative thinking.
