Your basic application.

In no long period of time on Planet College you'll notice you do a lot of applying.

Applying for jobs. Applying for internships. Maybe even applying for special programs. You may have noticed that basically the drill is essentially the same. If you recall from your original college application some information is continuously necessary. Name, address, phone number, date of birth are among the standards necessary on most types of applications. Additionally, employment applications often ask for previous employers and often ask for references.

For this reason Planet College once again suggests that as a busy student it is useful for you to keep a file. A file can be anything but a sturdy manila folder like the kind use for business is very useful. This file could contain your essential information plus clear copies of relevant documents such as your birth certificate. Also it is useful to compile a list of your employers. This list can contain the name of the business, the location, your supervisor with, if possible, a phone number and your position i.e. the type of work you did.

Another useful list is a list of references. At this point there are usually at least two kinds. One employment references and the list of employers above may suffice. The second is academic. This is a list of instructors who are familiar with your efforts as a student. This is useful because you may need this type of references should you apply for, as mentioned, an internship, an advanced course or degree or a scholarship.

Having all of this basic information available in one file can significantly expedite the many application processes that you as a student experience on Planet College
