		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Instead of slouching towards graduation, teens can spend their senior year in high school building up goal-setting momentum.  This means getting involved in projects that can challenge ones motivation.  If you're a teen, you can also rev-up by sitting down with family members and coming up with a game plan that can help propel your life forward to the next level.</p>
<p>Most teens will have three things on their mind:  Getting a job, attending school, or just taking time off. Both parents and teens need to remember that there's going to be an extensive search involved in deciding the future, and this includes numerous deadlines to meet for admissions programs if headed in that direction.</p>
<p>For teens, itâs highly advisable to begin making career decisions in the junior year of high school.  This allows for plenty of room to change directions if necessary.</p>
<p>Good preparation for teens is also spending quality time listing goals in life, accomplishments, and what they think their strengths and weaknesses are-even if the decision hasnât been made on what route to take after graduation.</p>
<p>If youâre a parent, you can help with the search and direct teens to the internet, guidebooks, and school counselors.  The family can even start planning trips to campuses of interest.  Planning early enough allows teens to examine a multitude of options such as; joining the military for specific training, internships, and even taking time off.</p>
<p>Letâs face it; some teens can use a little time between high school and the "real world".</p>
<p>Donât overlook the local library either for finding helpful information.  There's a lot of knowledge to be found on library book shelves, so make it a point to spend time dusting off a few books. And, keep in mind, the library personnel are more than willing to help.</p>
<p>Even volunteering for some type of community or international service can be of tremendous benefit in both the short and long run. The more experience a teen has with working and interacting with people of different backgrounds, the better.  This experience can be useful in weighing the decision to attend school away from home.</p>
<p>Truth is; if youâre a teen in high school, there are a lot of things you can do to get ready for the next phase of your life-even if it's still a mystery.</p>

		<title>8-Timely Tips for Safely Driving the Summer Roads</title>

 ]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Summer's here, and if you're planning on taking a road trip, you should make sure you're prepared for the unexpected.</p>
<p><strong>Here are a few tips to keep you safe and worry free:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Have your vehicle inspected.</strong></p>
<p>Have you vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic before you embark on the adventure.  A good inspection wonât cost a lot, and will cover the brakes, tires suspension, cooling, system, lights, and other drive train components.  It won't hurt to check the air conditioner if youâre driving an older vehicle.</p>
<p><strong>2.  Kick the tires.</strong></p>
<p>The correct tire pressure can save you gas.  Your tire pressure limits will be located on tire, and should normally be somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-32psi. You know that spare tire in your trunk?  Well, it's begging to be checked also.</p>
<p><strong>3.  Think safety. </strong></p>
<p>Don't pack any heavy objects on the passenger's compartment of the vehicle.  If there is a sudden accident, sharp and heavy objects can become deadly projectiles.</p>
<p><strong>4. Defy the odds.</strong></p>
<p>Odds are youâre going to leave something behind on the trip. More people than you can imagine forget to bring one of the most important items on a road trip-the emergency kit.  You don't have to carry an entire hardware store inventory; just the basics will do: gloves, flashlight, a first aid kit, jumper cables rope, a spare blanket, and a tire inflator.</p>
<p><strong>5.  Donât skimp on the H2O.</strong></p>
<p>Always bring extra water, even if you're traveling on major roads.  A flat tire can happen miles from the nearest exit, and it's easy to get dehydrated while you're waiting on the side of the road for help.</p>
<p><strong>6.  Stop for breaks.</strong></p>
<p>For every two hours of travel, stop and take a break for at least 15 minutes.  The routine can keep you fresh and alert.  Don't be in too much of a hurry.  If you're tired, find a rest spot to take a light snooze.</p>
<p><strong>7.  Keep the kids occupied.</strong></p>
<p>Make sure you bring enough entertainment for the kids.  There's a reason that television commercial where the kids keep asking, "Are we there yetâ¦â¦Are we there yet", is so popular.</p>
<p><strong>8. Make sure your paperwork is in order.</strong></p>
<p>Check to make sure everyone has proper identification.  You may know who your passengers are, but the authority that might pull you over to the side of the road-may not.  This is especially important if you're traveling across state and national borders.</p>
<p>Being able to handle those small emergencies on the road is great, but if you're thinking about taking your wrenching-skills to a whole new level, why not <a href="http://www.wyotech.edu/contact">contact WyoTech</a> for more information about the career tech school training that can help accelerate your life.</p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>There are a lot of options for young adults when it comes to life after school.  Depending on their abilities and interests, here are several possibilities they might pursue:</p>
<p>1. Moving directly into full or part-time employment.</p>
<p>2. Starting a family and setting up a household.</p>
<p>3. Attending a trade school or pursuing other training to learn a specialized skill</p>
<p><strong>Our young adults also have other choices; such as:</strong></p>
<p>1. Living at home</p>
<p>2. If away at school, living in a fraternity/sorority house</p>
<p>3. Living in a house or apartment</p>
<p>4. Living in another town or state</p>
<p>As a parent, you can be instrumental in helping your child prepare for adulthood. This means teaching him or her to take care of their own personal needs early on.  It'll take time to master these skills, so the earlier you start the training the better. Start early, regardless of your children's plans after graduating from high school.</p>
<p>You'll want to teach them to take care of their personal needs such as hygiene, grooming, and preparation of meals, shopping, and money management.  Developing strong social skills will be necessary when they trek out on their own.  And especially, if they decide to attend a destination school.</p>
<p>Your children should be able to travel independently.  Make sure they learn how to navigate environments that are culturally diverse as well.  Their travels outside of their zone of comfort will often demand they understand the etiquette of other cultures.</p>
<p>In time, they will learn to build healthy relationships and protect themselves from the negative or unhealthy interactions of some people.  And having these skills might just be the turning point for them when making a decision to attend a destination school.</p>
<p>As a parent, you're going to play a very important role in the decisions your children make when deciding on the education they want to pursue.  This is why you'll want to know everything there is to know about their school of interest.</p>
<p>At WyoTech, our consistent goal is to provide the essential career tech school training that can lay the successful groundwork for our students to seek the industry jobs that are in demand-today.  Finding out more information about the career training courses offered at WyoTech is as simple as filling out our easy <a href="http://www.wyotech.edu/contact">application form</a>.</p>
<p>Besides, it makes all the sense in the world for young adults to get the <a href="http://www.wyotech.edu/programs">career tech school training </a>that can help them to "Turn Pro at WyoTech!"</p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Understanding the WyoTech advantage is really a matter of understanding your own needs in life.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>In today's world, you can find a lot of opportunities if you're looking for a job on the internet.   It's no secret that some people still find the internet intimidating because it's so vast.  There's so much information that you may not know where to start and where to end.</p>

<p>This means matching skills and strengths as closely as possible to the job requirements.  It's also smart to do some online research about job salary and employment guidelines for similar positions.</p>

<li>What motivates you to do your best?</li>
<li>Do you work well under stress?</li>
<li>What are your customer services skills?</li>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Being organized is a talent that none of us can afford to do without.  The only problem is that there are too few of us that really understand what being organized is all about.  The best approach is one day at a time.</p>
<p><strong>Day one</strong></p>
<p>Develop a list of rewards you can give to yourself.  Make the rewards short, let's say fifteen minutes each. You can the work yourself up to longer time periods: The rewards can be phoning a good friend,Â  playing a complete round of golf, or working on your vehicle.</p>
<p><strong>Day two</strong></p>
<p>Try writing down your goals.  This act alone creates a commitment on your part, and it allows you to look back over time to see where your mind was at any given moment.  The goals should be in bite sized little bits so that they can remain manageable.  Your action plan should entail getting more information, doing research, or communicating with people.</p>
<p><strong>Day three</strong></p>
<p>Now is the time to transfer your tasks to a pocket notebook.  Divide the tasks into calls, errands, things to do, and things to write.  Example: You can call a career counselor, set up files, go shopping, or draft that resume youâve been putting off for months.</p>
<p><strong>Day four</strong></p>
<p>It's okay to buy a pocket calendar to record appointments deadlines.  The list should include "must do" tasks that can be done on a daily basis. Examples could also include scheduling vehicle maintenance, dropping the kids off at the babysitter and so on.</p>
<p><strong>Day five</strong></p>
<p>You can use this day to choose other tasks from the notebook that are still unfinished.   Utilize any time where there's a break in your schedule. The tasks you choose should be reasonable and fairly easy to complete.</p>
<p>By the end of the first week, you should be well on your way to establishing a pattern of being better organized.  It'll take time to work out the bugs, but your life will benefit because of it.</p>

<p>Extraordinary people are most often ordinary people with extraordinary determination.</p>
<p>Many important battles in life may have to be fought more than once for you to be victorious.</p>
<p>We must work hard at training ourselves not see the world through our eyes only.</p>
<p>When choosing a career, the trick is to find a job you would do for free if life afforded you the opportunity.</p>
<p>The only real job security in the world is to be more talented tomorrow than you are today.</p>
<p>Trying to be someone other than who you are can be very stressful.</p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>When you're out there looking for gainful employment, make sure you ask early-on about the success factors of the job you're seeking to land.  Success factors are those important morsels of information that will give you insight on what to match your strengths with.</p>
<p>The last thing you want to do in an interview is to ask the person doing the interviewing to describe what they feel the perfect candidate would be like. A skillful interviewer will sidestep this question 99% of the time.</p>
<p><strong>Here's the correct approach.</strong></p>
<p>Ask what factors are most important for success.  This is a lot more subtle way of asking the same question you wanted to ask in the first place.  This is the kind of question an interviewer will have to answer, and, it should give you just the information you need to show how your knowledge, skills, and abilities prove that you have what it takes to succeed in the position.</p>
<p>This is good advice no matter what your skill set, education level, or the unique type of job you might be applying for.  Keep in mind, your success will hinge on being able to answer the important questions on the spot.</p>
<p>And, answering on the spot means taking a long and honest look at your strengths/or weaknesses.</p>
