It further goes to show how obtaining a Certificate in as little as three months from the Accounting and Business School of the Rockies can positively impact your job search.

"If you’re looking to gain marketable skills and thrive in a personal learning environment with timely course offerings, I recommend you visit with Tim and his team at The Accounting and Business School of the Rockies. From the first day I met Tim, his genuine interest in my success was evident. As I began my coursework, it was evident that the entire team at The Accounting and Business School of the Rockies was genuinely interested in helping students like me meet our goals to gain additional marketable skills.

Beyond the staffs’ genuine interest in students’ success, they bring a unique breadth of professional experience. This enriches the courses and plays a crucial role in the development of relevant curriculum. For my classmates and me, it was helpful to receive guidance from people who have 'real-world' expertise; it really created a great learning environment.

I’m now a graduate of the school and I’m further realizing the benefits of The Accounting and Business School of the Rockies learning environment. I have gained marketable skills that are extremely useful in my professional life, and I still have the support of Tim and his team who are interested in my success…my time at The Accounting and Business School of the Rockies remains time well spent!"

LIMITED SPACE – APPLY TODAY

Does your company offer tuition reimbursement?

Many companies nowadays are recognizing the value of an educated employee. An educated employee provides the employer with the mind-set, the expertise, and the confidence to be an employee that contributes well to the organization. Having continuing and adult education on your resume shows your employer that you are serious about your growth as an individual and about bettering how you work. There are a variety of ways to obtain education and to find the program or degree that best suits you and the field that you are in, or want to be in.

Unfortunately for a lot of people though, the consistent concern is with cost for tuition. Many schools cost thousands of dollars for you to earn your degree. This can often times be a hesitance for people to pursue more education. For some people, it is not worth the hassle or worry of possibly going into some temporary debt--- even if it could mean that the reward on the other side of your degree is probable. It is up to the individual to decide if going to school is worth it or not. However, in this economy and the large amount of competition that is out in the work force today, obtaining continuing and adult education is becoming more and more necessary.

Many companies are recognizing the writing on the wall and the conundrum that their employees face. On the one hand, companies realize that their employees do want to continue their education to better their careers and contribute more to the organization. But on the other hand, they realize that many people cannot afford such a thing. So what these organizations have done is instill Tuition Reimbursement Programs. Typically (although it depends on the organization), if you are interested in a particular education program and want to take advantage of your company’s Tuition Reimbursement Program all you have to do is pay for the program yourself and then you will get reimbursed by your company.

The key thing is to check with your employer to see if they offer a Tuition Reimbursement Program and what the guidelines and steps are to take advantage of this incredible opportunity. A great way to use your Tuition Reimbursement Program money is to get a Certificate. A Certificate can be a quick and inexpensive way to bolster your resume to make yourself as marketable and attractive to future and current employers. Accounting and Business School of the Rockies offers five Certificate programs in areas such as Professional Bookkeeping, Administrative Assistant, Office Manager, Call Center/ Customer Service, and Microsoft Power User.

A Certificate from Accounting and Business School of the Rockies will provide the opportunity for you to get in, get out, and get on with your life in as little as three months. For more information about Accounting and Business School of the Rockies, feel free to look at our web-site (http://www.absrschool.com/) and come by on March 31st from 9am to 6pm for our Open House. If you have any questions or would like to RSVP for the event, please contact Daniel Seatvet at Daniel@ABSRschool.com or 303-755-6885. We are located at 5420 S. Quebec Street, suite 100 in Greenwood Village, CO 80111. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Building Confidence to Get Ahead

Building and maintaining confidence is one of the most difficult things to do when a person is unemployed. It can get discouraging for many people to continually be denied jobs, or even interviews! You think you are perfect for the job, are well-qualified, and feel as though this is a job that you can really be passionate about and get fulfillment from. Not to mention the kind of financial security you need for you and your family. When the rejection letters keep coming (if one comes at all), that can really wear down even the strongest mentally and emotionally prepared person.

There are a variety of ways for people to build healthy doses of confidence while searching for that next job. One way is to be sure that what you say in a resume, cover letter, or interview is something you truly believe you can do. Employers have a keen eye for picking out people who say they can do a task, but really can only do part of that task, or not at all. You want to be able to walk into your next interview with the assurance that when asked to do a certain task, you can, and you can do it well.

If there are some areas in your job repertoire that are a little rusty, or perhaps you think you need to learn a new skill to become more marketable, then you might consider continuing education. There are a lot of schools out there that can help you to gain that new skill or re-learn that skill you might have lost. The Accounting and Business School of the Rockies offers Certificate programs in Professional Bookkeeping, Administrative Assistant, Office Manager, Customer Service/Call Center, and Microsoft Power User. ABSR also has resume, interviewing and business etiquette classes to assist in building your confidence. You can complete a program in three to four months and the class schedules work around your busy schedule (day, evening, and Saturdays). You might also be interested in our Virtual Online option, where you can complete your Certificate from the convenience of your own home. If you are interested in learning more about these Certificates, and more importantly how you can gain or re-build confidence in your job search, please contact us at Daniel@ABSRschool.com or 303-755-6885.

Getting the Most out of Seminars

One of the advantages of being a job-seeker is that there are a plethora of Seminars, often times free of charge, to attend. On any given week, a person who looks hard enough at event calendars can find a couple Seminars that they are interested in going to. Whether it is a Seminar on how to write a better resume, to a Seminar on professional networking, they can be a great way to meet new people, gain knowledge on a specific topic, and then be energized to take that knowledge into your job-seeking experience and apply it to your successes.

It is important during Seminars to understand a few things about them. For one, your time is valuable. While for some people it may be beneficial to attend any and every Seminar they come across, for most people it is not. It is wise to look at a variety of Seminars and decipher between them which ones will benefit you the most. There is no need to take a morning or afternoon out of your day to attend something that you know will be a waste of your time. Second, take advantage of this free information! Take notes, ask questions, dialogue with the presenter and group participants, do anything and everything you can to take advantage of this incredible opportunity to further your job-search or career.

Accounting and Business School of the Rockies will be hosting its monthly FREE Seminar entitled “How to start your own bookkeeping business” on July 24 th from 10:00am to 12:00pm. In addition, we are pleased to announce another FREE Seminar on August 7 th from 9:00am to 11:00am entitled “Why Business People Fail, and What to do About it”. This Seminar will be put on by Debbie Scott with Achievement Dynamics, LLC. -- a sales and management development firm. For more information about either of these Seminars or to RSVP please contact Daniel Seatvet at Daniel@ABSRschool.com or 303-755-6885. Both Seminars will be located at 5420 S. Quebec Street, suite 100 Greenwood Village, CO 80111. You won’t want to miss either of these exciting Seminars, we’ll see you there!
