How to Ask Your Employer to Pay for an Online Degree

By | Online Education Co-Pilot | No Comments

Asking your employer to pay for your tuition is a pretty intimidating conversation. By avoiding some common mistakes, you can increase your chances of getting a “yes.”

Don’t give in to the stigma of online learning. If you show any doubt or insecurity about the online nature of the degree, your employer won’t take you seriously.

Don’t confuse your boss with too much online jargon. Explain the value and benefits of the program to your employer, instead of just giving a description of it.

How to Answer Common Interview Questions

By | Interview Co-Pilot | No Comments

You may not be able to predict what questions an interviewer will ask, but you can be prepared. Once you know how to answer the most common questions, you’ll be ready no matter what question is thrown your way.

When you’re asked to tell a little bit about yourself, don’t just give your employment history. Give the interviewer a short pitch that shows why you’re the right fit for the job.

When asked where you heard about the position, take the opportunity to show off your knowledge and interest in the company.

By | Management Co-Pilot | No Comments

It always seems like certain people can get more done in the day than others. It’s not about working harder though; it’s about working smart.

Don’t leave anything for later. If you get an email or phone call, take care of it now and get it done.

Preparation is key. Get things ready for the next day so you aren’t pressed for time and aren’t rushing to get things here.

How to Use Email to Ask for Help Effectively

By | Management Co-Pilot | No Comments

Email is an important part of all of our lives – both personally and professionally. When you send a request through email, you want to make sure it’s being followed.

First, pay attention to the subject line. It’s the first thing the recipient sees, and depending on what it says, they may or may not be likely to open it and read it.

Make sure you include a greeting. Don’t just open with your demands. A personal touch shows a level of genuine interest that many people appreciate.
