Falling asleep in class? Finding it hard to juggle those late nights and early mornings between work and college?  As a student I know that my eating patterns have become crazy and generally student’s first instinct is to skip meals and grab a snack in a weak attempt to save time. Really all we are doing is cutting ourselves off from vital fuel which we need to give us energy throughout the day.
My mum always told me ‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!’ Even though i rolled my eyes and ate it to keep her happy, I was never tired during the day and only lost concentration by chatting to my friends. I did a little bit of research using faq.org and discovered mum was right! – Eating your breakfast helps maintain  concentration and increases likelihood of consuming calcium, folic acid and vitamin C which can be found in yogurts and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Other tips to keeping up your energy levels include;
1.   Getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night will minimise your lack of concentration or tiredness
2.    Drinking lots of water and eating fruit throughout the day increases your consumption of important fibre, vitamins and minerals.
3.    Exercising regularly helps manage stress and promotes mental and physical stamina. Even going for a walk whilst reading your study notes will allow you to relax and absorb more information
Healthy snacks for you to nibble during study or on your way home can be;
-Â Â Â Â Crackers
-Â Â Â Canned fruit
-Â Â Â Fresh fruit
-Â Â Â Â Cereal
-Â Â Â Â Nuts, Dried fruit and Sultanas
-Â Â Â Â Pita bread
-Â Â Â Â Soup
-Â Â Â Â Popcorn (single serving bags)
-Â Â Â Â Tuna fish
-Â Â Â Â Cheese
-Â Â Â Yogurt/Smoothies
-Â Â Â Â Grain bread
We all love to eat – I know that I sure do! Whilst it’s hard to sometimes make time for a full meal it’s important that we keep ourselves balanced. I guess at the end of the day you are what you eat. Put more in and you get more out!
For now,
Danielle

Hi Everyone!
My name is Danielle Raunjak. I was lucky enough to successfully win the 2010 Advanced Diploma of Hospitality Scholarship at Hostec International Academy! I have just completed my Year 12 studies at Bede Polding College in Windsor and look forward to a full packed adventurous year! I have recently become and food and beverage attendant at Crowne Plaza Norwest where I am learning everyday about myself and the best service I can give. Inserted is a photo of me working New Years Eve at Crowne Plaza! I enjoy work so much I find it hard to call it work! In my spare time I believe there is nothing better to do than eat delicious food and socialize with my unforgettable family and friends. I live about an hour west out of the city, so the hour and a half train ride may be exhausting but is well worth the culture and hussle and bussle of Sydney. I love China Town and Paddy’s Markets and couldn’t think of a better meeting spot than a good Yum Cha restaurant! My Dad was born in Austria whilst Mum was born in Fiji with Chinese, Samoan and Tongan running through her. I think the different cultures and traditions I have grown up around have allowed me to love Australia for its diversity and also made me grateful for what this amazing country has to offer.
I discovered Hostec through the annual Careers Expo held for Year 10 and 12 students at the Kingswood campus for UWS. This careers market changed my direction of schooling dramatically as I soaked up all information I could on colleges and courses for hospitality. I truly think that exposing yourself to resources such as careers expeditions and any information careers advisors give is the best advantage you can get in finding out what’s right for you. Hospitality has unconsciously been a way of life to me. I have grown up around great food, experienced many holidays from travelling to Fiji to camping down at the local river and always felt a reward in making people happy.
I can’t tell you what this year will hold for me, but I know it will go fast. I’m excited to meet both the international and domestic students I will be studying with and cant wait to develop myself and work within some of Sydney’s greatest hotels. I will update my blog regularly to keep you posted on the fun times and quirky tales of my life as a student. Becoming apart of Hostec I believe I am one step closer to where I want to be and I know that the teachers, resources and contacts Hostec has will enable me to grow as a person and within hospitality. I cant wait!
For now,
Danielle

Passive Job Hunting
Following a particularly tough year in 2009, it is predicted we will see a significant increase in the number of employed people changing jobs as their confidence grows. Many candidates in the market will be ‘passive job seekers’ – those in jobs quietly looking out for a new opportunity.
So where should the elusive passive job seeker spend their web browsing time?
Often they won’t check job boards, but they tend to visit websites that regularly provided interesting stories and research. This increases the likelihood that they may even look into opportunities they may not have considered.
Websites such as Hostec’s provide great content and people, just like you, come to read a story, and jobs are only a click away. The passive job seeker can learn about opportunities and submit applications discreetly. It allows candidates to register and receive confidential job alerts that inform them when a job matches their career goals. You can fly under the radar whilst bettering your career prospects.
Are you an elusive passive job seeker? Are you looking for a role in Hospitality, Tourism & Leisure? Register today.
