The Hopkins Team, a Coldwell Banker Team, Offers Scholarship Program Awarding Five Total College Scholarships Worth $1,000 to Broward County High School Seniors

By March 10, 2018No Comments

PLANTATION, Fla. — The Hopkins Team, a renowned Florida Coldwell Banker team with over 120 years of combined real estate experience, is offering The Hopkins Team Homes Scholarship Program, available to graduating (class of 2018) high school seniors who live in Broward County.

The Hopkins Team sees the need to affirm and financially support the post-secondary education endeavors of young, talented and committed leaders.

Five total college scholarships, each worth $1,000, will be awarded to selected individuals. To apply, students will submit a leadership resume detailing their experience as a leader, and a leadership essay of no more than 500 words on the topic, “What it takes to be a great leader and why it’s important to you.”

Applications must be received by May 1, 2018 at Dondi@thehopkinsteam.com.

A review committee of eight community and education leaders, consisting of four men and four women, will select winners after May 1. The Hopkins Team will announce the award winners and award The Hopkins Team Homes Scholarship.

The Hopkins family has a long history of leadership in school, business and community. Through the family’s own involvement and leadership, it has had opportunities to work with and recognize student leaders in the local community.

“From life experience, we know that sometimes the young leaders we count on aren’t always the best students academically or the top athletes,” said Dondi Hopkins, team leader at The Hopkins Team. “We are pleased to offer these scholarships to local, deserving students.”

Five Things That Need to be in Your Resume or Cover Letter

To paraphrase Jerry Maguire, help us help you. As we sift through the paperwork, here’s what we are looking for:

1. What you love to do and why.

In PR, you may love writing, editing, interviewing, pitching the media, researching, coordinating events, networking, posting to social media … whew! While we would love it if you had a passion for it all, we’d never believe you if you said as much.

What part of this zany, crazy, whirlwind, yet meticulous, tedious, detail-oriented, profession calls to you and why? Help us make the connection as to how PR is really for you, and call it your Professional Summary.

2. Something you did that changed something or someone else.

If you never showed up to your last job, what wouldn’t have happened? That’s right. Erase yourself. Now which clients disappeared with you? Which articles just fade away? What press releases cease to exist? How much social media did NOT get liked?

We are just meeting you. So take a moment to spell out your impact, and it will be easier for us to see what you can do for the clients of Durée & Company. Share this under your Job Responsibilities.

3. Anything you created.

Feeling humble? Well, stop it. This is the part where you brag. If you craft a delightful blog, master a mind-blowing website, shoot crazy video or direct wonderful events, show us.

Then tell us a bit of how you did it, so we trust that it was your brilliance and not the intern’s. Let’s dub this Your Portfolio.

4. An indication of why you belong here.

At PR firm Durée & Company, we have a culture. Really, all companies do. To learn about ours, do some legwork. At this point, if you’re on our blog, you are in the right spot to begin learning. Hate pink? Not good with women? Live in Kansas? Low energy? Then you might want to reconsider applying. However, if we resemble a group that you’d like to hang out with, share why. You can do that in the Cover Letter.

5. Correctly spelled words – all of them.

Do more than hit spell check. Know how to spell or ask someone to proofread. Correctly spelled words work everywhere, all the time. Consider them the Little Black Dresses of resumes.

So consider these five tips – we’ve just given you a “cheat sheet” about what we’re watching out for. Even if our position may not be for you, feel free to use our advice for another – it may just get you the job!
