MONDAY
MASSIVE OPEN ONLINE COURSES
Monday's resource is about taking advantage of MOOC's (Massive Open Online Courses). Platforms offer (often free!) courses and certifications in wide-ranging of topics. Taking the time and effort to go through these courses not only grow you professionally, but helps stand you out from other applicants. Examples of these are Hubspot Academy, LinkedIn Learning, and Harvard Open Courses.
PODCASTS
As of October 2021, there are over 1,750,000 podcasts being aired. Out of this number, there is a huge segment that are great educational resources. As college students, podcasts are great ways to build yourself professionally and personally through your busy schedule. Put a podcast on during your walk to campus, when making food, or when you are closing your eyes for a break! Our favorite professional podcasts include HBR IdeaCast, Accounting Best Practices with Steve Bragg, and Women at Work. Take a listen!

TED TALK:
"When Looking for a Job? Highlight Your Ability, Not Your Experience"
Jason Shen, a science major who went into tech instead, explains that many businesses who overvalue experience are missing out on quality applicants. He shares his own story and advice for convincing the hiring committee of your ability to do the job well and implores all employers to follow industry leaders in thinking outside the box on recruiting new personnel. This Ted Talk is a great resource for not only employers to watch, but jobseekers as well.
