manage your time.
3. How to Manage Time
1. If your class requires some group projects, then try
meeting with your team members remotely using
ClickNSmart
meeting remotely can saves time from getting stuck in
a traffic jam and saves money from not having to pay
for expensive fuel cost.
4. 2. Try to attend every class lectures
when you attend lectures every class meeting, you have
saved yourself from having to read hundreds of pages of
textbook reading.
3. Give yourself a day weekend break, either
Saturday/Sunday A day break can help refresh your mind
and body and this in turns will boost your productivity
during work and school the next day.

Network, Network and Network Why do I mention
“network” 3 times? I want to highlight the importance of
networking. Many of my college friends are struggling to
get a job offer because they do not have a wide professional
networks. Almost all of the job offers I received were from
referral of people in my professional networks.
9. How can you build a wide
professional networks?
While you’re still in school, attend as many mixers,
in which many alumni and working professionals
attend. Talk to few of them and exchange some
contact information ;
Strengthen your online presence. Sign up on
Facebook, LinkedIn, ClickNSmart, and others
10. Even when you’re away from your friends, you can always
network and meet them online via ClickNSmart. See a
testimonial from a current ClickNSmart’s member below:
“Using the SmartChat feature, I can hold web conferences
with my teammates, share Microsoft Word and Excel
documents with my group, and I can draw my ideas on the
whiteboard! ClickNSmart is the easiest way to connect with
your team on the go.”
