How to pass a interview

So what do these people want from you? Does it seem like whatever you say it seems to backfire and you never get hired regardless? Well they said that honesty is the best but that's a huge lie. So what do they want you to really say?
Future goals, such as college- never say that your unsure even though that's the truth. Pick a college and stick to it. When asked a question, answer confidently ( there are no maybes, ifs and sortas). Use direct eye contact and remember to practice your speech at home before you you actually go to your interview, this way when you are asked those questions you aren't nervous. Some common questions are:
*Why do you want to work here?
*Why do you think you should get the job?
*Do you have any questions?

How to save money

Budget cutting is a big issue these days and comparing prices for the same product is one of the greatest ways to save money. It is inconvenient to travel from supermarket to supermarket getting one or two items only to get .50 cents off but the total will add up. You will save more money if you actually look through discounted weekly specials and buy things that you know you will use later on not items that will be siting there until you throw them out. For instance food, it's a necessity and will be used in the future so it would not be wasted (hopefully). Buying luxury items should be a Must Not when trying to save money, but if your like me and that Jimmy is just too sexy to miss out then you can always wait to when they have a sample sale. There are sales for luxury items every so often for brands such as Harajuku lovers, Gucci, Barneys, Missy 60, Kenneth Cole, Energie, Jimmy Choo and so much more just look them up. Another way to save money would be to shop in stores like Old Navy, Target or dare I say it? Walmart. As long is it looks good you'll always get complimented on and when they asked you where you got it from say none of your business! I'm just kidding there's nothing to be ashamed of saying you got it from those places they are stylish and have gotten more popular since back in the days. There's no reason to go back to shop retailed again.

How to keep your skin looking younger and tighter without paying

The price for mangoes are pretty cheap right now. If you are allergic to mangoes you can choose either pumpkin, sweet potato, papayas, blue berries and bananas. All of these have vitamin e which helps and protects your skin from the suns rays which causes the damage of skin cells (increase of the look of aging on skin). If you use a mango simply peel off the skin and save it. Then eat the rest of the mango. Then place the peels on your face, if you want you could microwave the peels for about 5 seconds or so before placing the peels on your face. Then slowly massage your face, remove the peels after 15 mins and wash your face with warm water then cold. It's the same for any of the other choices (smash a small of the amount of blue berries and then place of face.) If you want a more glowing, smooth complexion? you can use the finished watermelon skin (unless your allergic) and rub it against your face. After wards let it sit for about 10 mins or so and wash it off with warm water and then cool *note: not hot water.

How to find the right job for you

Many people nowadays have a problem with finding jobs, with this economy finding a good job is almost impossible. So things to look into when finding a job, what do you enjoy or stores that you go to frequently (places such as clothing, restaurant and such can be very profiting esp. if you go there often and there are people there that like you. This could be your ticket to getting a job there and is a great start up). Even in some fast food places you need some kind of connection, a referral now. Why would you want to work in a fast food place? Well most restaurants wants employees that have had at least 2 years of food related experience. Some require you having worked in two different restaurants. If you are in college and have some free time throughout the year it's great to intern for a company that is right in the field which you wish to major in. Although it's unpaid, it's great for resumes. If you wish to go into the fashion industry or even work in a bank or office your going to need some kind of relevant experience. If you have none but have volunteered that's great to put in your resume as well to boost up your experience. If you need some quick cash, there are always government jobs such as canvass which are people who walk around having people sign their names on petitions and such. It's usually very short (lasts around a month or so) flexible and good pay (range from $10-15 depending on area and may be paid in cash) plus it's a great for your resume. Another would be to handout fliers (not a easy job) the pay may range depending on completing the pile or by every hour, you might get paid from ($7-10 usually) the great thing about these jobs is that they usually pay in cash and is a seasonal job. A site that I enjoy going to is craigslist.org * not all jobs are real, some are spams so you should look up sites provided and see their reviews* Well I hope this was helpful!

How to write a resume

In your resume you should have some kind of work experience. If not you should still write one just in case of an interview or to summit one online. So your name should be on top, it should be the biggest of all fonts because this is what the interviewers wants to see first. Underneath that you can write your contact information such as
email address-telephone#-address or u can begin with your objective (basically who you are and your goal). The contact information can either go on top (under name) or on the bottom ( conclusion of resume), it should be to smallest font. Under the objective is your experiences, order them from most recent on top. If you have more than enough experience and it's taking up too much room then take one of the jobs off ( it should be three of your most recent jobs). Then write a little something about those jobs like what you learned (this is great if you don't have a very long resume. Under that you write your education, if your in college you don't have to write you high school unless it's something like Stuyvesant or Bronx science otherwise it's just something to take up the empty space. Underneath that it's skills- this is great for taking up a lot of space and bragging about yourself. If you have nothing to say then just delete this section. Finally it's language, the more you know the better but if you decide to lie they might find out when they hire you just for that particular language. Example:
Mikoto c.
objective

I am currently enrolled in college to obtain my insert degree name or high school name. Then put what are you trying to achieve DON'T PUT MONEY!

How to pass tests with a breeze

Most tests require memorizing long sentences or formulas. If it was an English definition such twenty words, defining and spelling can be a pain. So what I do is break apart the word for example exonerate- clear of blame. When you first look at this word your wondering what the freak does this word mean? Well lets break it down,  what I do then which might be a little confusing but I highlight certain letters such as era which works into the letter clear and then the word ends in e so I think of another word that ends in e to complete the sentence. So the highlighted words would be exonerate orange goes first so (cl)ear then green which is o(f) then (blam)e. I think this is much easier then memorizing all the words and i have used this technique throughout high school and got 100's on all my tests but results maybe different just test it out first to see if it works for you (btw you just memorized a sat word). I hated science but what I found helped me remember things like body systems was with sentences, some of which weren't really sentences but since they sound funny i memorized them. For example Respect my love respects<- respiratory system. How does that have anything to do with the respiratory system you may ask well R-respiratory, M-mitochondria, l-liver, and r.s-respiratory system and that's all that the respiratory system is does and where. This can be used for math, social studies and ect. One math example would be SOHCAHTOA- example: so old his /cane and hat /tared off alittle there are so many other sentences which could help you memorize, the more original helps you the best. If you have any questions just leave a comment and I'll be sure to help!

How to lose those extra pounds before prom, wedding or even just because

I was able to drop 15 pounds (which I have gain from the winter hibernation) within four months healthily and so can you. I didn't do anything that was too time consuming because lets face it, most of us has given up time and again cus we get lazy. What I found had worked for me was just to eating two pieces of wheat bread a day. This surprisingly gave me a boost to my goal, it might be disturbing but it helps you do number two in the bathroom (not many people know that your suppose to do this at least 2-3 times a day I barely did that once a day!) I was able to cut back on snacks since I was becoming fuller from the fiber. I realized that I not only wanted to lose weight but I wanted to get my shape back so I did some light exercises (which I will discuses later on), I also walked 40 minutes each day rather than taking the bus. Within a month I was able to see the difference!

Hi!

This is the first time that I have used blog so I hope that people will actually find it useful ^-^
