I thought I’d be drowsy, but sleepy timer calculates the correct number of sleep cycles you need to get a good night’s rest. I got into a rhythm of sleeping at 9 and waking up at 4:30 – a drastic change to my previous schedule. You can put in the time you need to sleep, the time you need to wake up, or what would happen if you went to bed right that moment – and it would tell you what time you need to sleep or wake up accordingly. Sleepy Timer essentially helps you plan out your sleep schedule for that night. While doing that, I came across this website. The first thing I did was do a little bit of research on sleep cycles and healthy sleep habits. After a few weeks, I decided to change my schedule for the better.

That’s kind of a bad strategy if you ask me. So I’d go to work, come back, and start my homework at 8:30.


My shifts are usually 4-8 – the time I would’ve previously used to do my homework. I know when I first started working I was pretty bad about my time management. I’m here to tell you: have no fear! After a few weeks of figuring things out, you’ll be totally adjusted to your new schedule. Maybe you’ve opened this article after you’ve gotten your job and you’re worried about how working will impact your grades and your social life.

That’s a habit of mine I still need to fight off).Īnd finally, make sure you have a LinkedIn! Here’s another article I wrote about setting up a LinkedIn and using it to get a job. Interview Etiquette: I’ve only ever done two interviews, so I can’t say that I’m an expert. Once I had removed the extra tidbits, I submitted an application to Subway – and within three days, they had messaged me for an interview. I suggest paring your resume down to: your education, any particularly sought after skills you have, and any relevant work experience you’ve had in the past. While these are both valuable pastimes for let’s say, a college application, they’re definitely not what an employer is looking for. I had put my volunteer work with a blood donor organization. On my resume, I had put my stint as a camp counselor from a couple summers ago. What I ended up learning was: I had oversaturated my resume with information. I had worked a job the previous summer and yet, at all the places I applied to, I wasn’t getting hired. It took me – at seventeen years old – a long time to find an employer that was both flexible and allowed minors to work there.

Getting a Jobįor me, getting a job was a bit of a trial and errors game. I believe you can too.īut you can’t manage your time on top of your job if you don’t have a job in the first place. Quick humble brag: I’ve been working part time after school on top of running this magazine and playing two instruments for about six months now – and while it was daunting at first, I quickly found a way to manage my time so I could still have a healthy sleep schedule. If I’m right, you’ve come to the right place. The first is that you’re in high school, and the second is that you’re looking to be employed.
