Top University Libraries in the U.S

Leave a reply

United States started building universities to cater for educational purposes since the 17th Century. Many universities were built since then across the United States. As the population of the United States started rising and its people got wealthier more and more money was spent on good quality higher education. Especially since the 18th Century this trend saw a rise and as the number of universities grew all over America so did the need for good quality libraries cater to the students that studied in these universities.

These university libraries were built on university campuses with the help of donations in the form of money and books that these universities received to expand their university libraries.

Today there are thousands of universities in the Unites States with great libraries that support students and help them learn and educate themselves on a variety of different subjects. These libraries help students to do research, build new ideas and in general expand knowledge. There are obviously some university libraries that are much better than others in the country today. They have better information, better books, they are well equipped with all the latest knowledge and they help the students and professors alike to gain the knowledge in their respective fields much better than others.

What’s the difference between the UK and the US education system ?

1 Reply

Nine out of ten children in the UK attend state schools which are funded by the government. All state schools are required to follow the National Curriculum.

Education departments in England, Scotland and Wales fund schools through a Local Education Authority. In Northern Ireland, schools are largely financed by public funds from five Education and Library Boards.

The differences in comparison to the US education system are extensive. The main differences come in terms; the terminology used to describe grade years and the methods of assessment of pupils and students. Before studying for a degree, students in the UK must gain GCSE’s and A-Levels where as in the US students must gain a diploma.

Students from the UK can move to the US to study a degree provided they have A-Levels, and are able to pass an American SAT test to be accepted into American universities. Fees for universities in the US can be extremely expensive, costing upwards of $30,000 which is equivalent to £19000.

Tips to tackle Modern Campus Placement

Leave a reply

What colleges, government institutions and the students think about the campus placement? Well, the answer may differ from person to person but one thing is logically correct that the process of the placement in nearly all the institutions and colleges has become more sophisticated, complex and difficult.

When you compare the same process of campus placements, you would have found the easy one when the recruiting company came to the college campus, go though the resume of the candidate, discuss about the viable package, offer the appointment letters and they walk off their campus area. It was just brilliant! And, what has it become now? The process has completely changed where the recruiters even want to know the candidate’s opinion about global warming and the issue of terrorism. Yes, this is called the group discussion and such elimination rounds have become part and parcel of the recruitment process today.

Tackling such campus placements is very easy if you know certain points of consideration –

  • Don’t get stuck with the package –

The candidates must need to learn how to respond negatively in context of the package. It should be noted here that the recruiting companies’ employees that can serve their companies for a long term and may not offer any tensions and headaches in the coming future. No doubt, the students want to chase behind the increase in salary packages but they forget to mention their own goals in the industry. You should be bold enough to explain about your goals in PI or GD.

  • Show a learning intuition and be tactful –

The time demands now a tactful appearance before the recruiters in mentioning your goals, limitations and other things. It should be noted here that companies are interviewing thousands of students daily and you are not alone in the crowd. It is better to know their tactics and when they ask about your limitations, answer it cleverly. The only option you have in this case is to have healthy and formal conversation with the recruiters. You must show them you are always prepared to learn new things in no time.

  • Get familiar with the latest technology –

In a recent report, a multinational company in the name of MU Sigma interviewed a candidate through Skype, which was certainly a different notion for the candidate. Well, if you have learned all the conventional trends of interviews with butt0oned shirts and straight backbone; you need to rethink your preparation strategy. While you try to tackle the campus placement, you will certainly have to forget all the traditional methods of recruitment.

  • Get yourself close to the seniors –

This becomes important for you as a fresh graduate because the companies are thinking the other way round. They prefer now to send the fresh employees as the brand ambassadors to your campus rather than sending an expert team of HRs. yes, the new process of recruitment will give the companies a new weapon to look deep into the candidate’s portfolios. They could be also capable of finding the incompetent candidates or students with fake resumes quite easily. Recruiters like Wipro, MphasiS, Cognizant and other MNCs are adopting this method of campus placement.

Lagging Higher Education System in India – Students Feeling the Heat

Leave a reply

Investment in poor ventures will always fetch an unexpected and loosing result. Similar is the case with the higher education trends and patterns in India where students are aping behind the set standards and fields despite of the lack of interest they have in their mind. It seems to be a really poor and sad affair on the sides of students where they are quite interested in getting a bachelor degree although they did not know what they are going to achieve! In fact, everything related to the higher education is going on a wrong path in this country. What will surprise you here is the fact that students are leaning towards the engineering degree with no real interest or passion!

higher education system of india

So, what do they really want? Let us explain where higher education system in India is heading towards and what may be the future prospects for the students. The adults in our nation seem to be chasing the dreams of their parents and they are getting very impulsive. You should consider both the cases – students with no interest and those who were compelled to choose this area. The first segment are surely destined to be doomed and the later one is targeted towards some cozy jobs that may fetch them great salary and incentives.

After spending 4 years in a college or university, the students get aware of the fact that it was not their destination. They were not shaped and designed for the same goal. So, what to do now when you have already misused your precious time of four years? Well, nothing sort of things are needed to be done for them as the faculties, college management and the national educational system have already invested a lot of resources and time to these poor and non-rewarding ventures.

It is needless to say that the fresh generation is much smarter and alive than the older one. The time demands much holding condition from the parents and the kids are needed to pursue their dreams without any education pressure. The time has gone when beautiful girls looked for only engineers/doctors in the matrimonial classifieds. There is a wide variety of career opportunities available in the Indian economy and students should definitely harness them at the earliest. Set examples are already on the floor to learn like Devendra Purbia and Chetan Bhagat. Their lives can guide you when you are facing situations like lack of information, career scopes and forced will power.

The biggest problem which lies with the large education system of India is the lack of proper and complete knowledge. The students are not getting the proper guidance and information to equip themselves with right skills. Internet has got more effective and ubiquitous; mass media services have also expanded but all these latest technologies seem to be out of reach for the higher education system in India. It does not mean that you will have to wait for the recommendations and education plan from the government. Just build a community and help your younger generation in choosing the right career !

Fitting In vs. Standing Out – What is really the Way to get “Liked” at a New Job?

This is a guest post written by Amanda DiSilvestro, If you want to contribute guest post on this blog, check out the guidelines and join our information sharing program.

The first few weeks on the job are always nerve-racking, so it is only natural for someone to feel like he/she needs to walk on eggshells and make an impression. As a fairly new employee myself, I was constantly given advice about how to get “liked” at a new job. However, this advice was oftentimes very conflicting. My parents would tell me to try and blend in and be nice to everyone, yet my friends were telling me that I should try and stand out and really make an impression. Ultimately I was going to be myself, but let’s be honest—I was also going to try and make the right impression.

in vs. outstanding

Knowing when to fit in with a company and when to voice your opinions can be tough. During those first few weeks at a new job you want to be liked. If people like you, anything you bring to the table in the future will be more accepted. This will make work more enjoyable and will help solidify your future with a company. Consider some of the situations below and whether it might be best to either blend in or stand out:

5 Situations Most Experience At the Start of a Job

  1. Going out to lunch with a few co-workers.

Stand Out. Co-workers oftentimes become friends because they spend so much time together. They are likely used to getting lunch every once and a while, and it is not uncommon for a group of people to invite the new employee. This happens most often with different departments in a company. If some of your co-workers ask you out to lunch, it’s definitely in your best interested to go. Get to know your co-workers, and don’t be afraid to stand out. This is your chance to really make an impression because you have a good amount of time to get to know those around you. Whatever your thing is—humor, intelligence, storytelling, etc.—now is the time to show it. These are the people that really want to get to know you.

  1. Walking around the office.

Blend in. You’re bound to run into a few people when you’re walking to the bathroom or to get a glass of water. These people won’t necessarily be in your department, so you may not come into contact with them all too often. It’s a good idea to introduce yourself, but don’t try and stand out and make an impression. You only have a few seconds at most to see someone around the office, so it’s probably not the best time to strike up a conversation.

  1. Attending meetings with your boss and some of your co-workers.

Depends. Meetings can sometimes be a good chance to show off what you know to your boss, but you do not want to seem like a show-off. In other words, you may want to strike a balance between blending in and making a statement. If the meeting warrants your opinion, give it in a factual and humble way. If the meeting is really just informational, then blend in with the rest of the crowd.

  1. Work parties and/or workplace events.

Blend In. This is where many people differ in opinion. I personally feel that, for many people, a work function is the place to blend in and meet everyone. You don’t want everyone wondering who the loud obnoxious new guy is, and you don’t want people wondering why you are acting like you are best friends with people you just met. Try and be polite and get to know everyone before trying to stand out. This is your chance to really meet the whole office.

  1. Giving a presentation to a group of people in the office.

Stand out. In the majority of situations, giving a presentation means you’re getting a chance to really show what you know about the company. This is the opportunity to impress your boss, and you should take it. Whatever makes you unique; this is the time to show it. After all, being knowledgeable in your field is why you have the job in the first place. This is one of the few times that you can stand out and not seem pretentious during the first few weeks on the job.

Why It Matters ?

As always, there are exceptions to every rule. No one should ever change their personality just so others like them. These are simply tips to keep in mind in case you are concerned with making a good impression. Many people do not have to hold back or put forward any sort of personality, but many just simply like to be aware.

As someone new to the workforce, I know that my friends and I have all done things that we wish we could take bake. Whether it be drinking a little bit too much at a company event or not being outspoken enough during a company meeting, it can be tough to have those natural instincts at first. It takes years of experience to really understand how a company setting works.

Do you have any stories of filling in or standing out during your first few weeks at a new company?
