INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You should begin building your work experience as soon as possible. Even graduates with excellent grades are expected to have some experience in the field before employers will hire them. Internships are a great way to do that. Most IT schools will have connections to internship programs, or you can find them via an online search. A well-trained graduate should be able to break into the field fairly easily. Joining an IT department for approximately 2 to 5 years will give you excellent knowledge about security threats and business structure.  Some examples of entry-level IT jobs include IT Assistant, IT Specialist, IT Engineer Intern, Information Security Engineer, and Junior System Administrator. You do not need to gain a job in IT security right away. Other jobs, like network administrator, are excellent stepping stones for a computer security career. If you want to get a job in the IT field, you’ll need to spend some time preparing for your interview. Think about why you want to get a job in this field and come up with a concise answer. Be prepared to discuss your previous work experience and specific skills that will help you excel in the job position. Make sure to prepare a résumé that is tailored specifically for an IT job. Highlight any training certifications, technology classes, or experience in a related field. Like most computer-based fields, there are a number of fraudulent and short-lived companies. Make sure you do your research to avoid these companies, which could mar your resume to prospective clients.  Some common signs of fraudulent or risky IT companies include only being operational for a short period of time, evidence that the company operated under a different name previously, or high internal employee turnover. When gaining experience in the field, try to choose companies with a good reputation in the industry that have been around for several years.

SUMMARY: Seek a computer security internship while you are still in college. Apply for an entry-level IT job. Prepare for your interview. Vet your IT jobs well.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start with clean, dry hair. Then, brush your hair back, taking down any volume on your top or sides as you work your way back. Use hair wax, gel, or pomade to keep your style in place. If you have wavier hair, adapt this style by using a matte paste. The longer you grow your hair, the more pronounced your wave will be. Instead of trying to control it with various products, part it in the middle and wear it naturally for a low-maintenance style.  Add a small, quarter-sized dollop of mousse to your style to reduce frizziness without matting your hair down. Apply a curl-defining cream to enhance your curls. Give yourself dreadlocks at home or have them professionally done if you have time to maintain the look. Dreadlocks need shampooing, conditioning, and routine rubbing to stay clean.  Dreadlocks work best on curly and natural hair. In certain cultures, dreadlocks have symbolic meaning. Wearing dreadlocks casually might be frowned upon in some situations. Thick hair responds well to perms, giving your style volume and weight. A perm can also keep thick hair from going frizzy or getting split ends. Use small amounts of gel or mousse to keep your perm in place. Use a moisturizing conditioner to keep your perm shiny. Sometimes, gels and hair waxes can weigh hair down. If you want your hair to look neat, yet effortless, brush your hair out and wear it down without adding in hair products. Use bobby pins to keep your hair in place if it gets in your way.

SUMMARY: Slick your hair back with some product if you have straight hair. Wear your hair loose and tousled if you have curly locks. Style your hair in dreadlocks. Get a perm if you have thick hair. Style your hair without product for a natural look.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After each use, take a microfiber cloth and wipe off the entirety of the band. This will prevent buildup of dirt and oils that damage the band and irritate your skin. For stuck-on debris, a dampened microfiber cloth can help. Make sure the cloth is only slightly damp, not dripping. Use it to wipe over the band’s surface. This can be used on any band type, including leather and metal. Excess water will damage leather and tarnish metal, so minimize your water usage as much as possible. Oils, deep stains, and smells on elastomer and nylon bands can be treated with a cleanser such as Cetaphil Gentle Skin or Aquanil. Place a small amount on the tip of your finger and spread it over the band. Afterwards, wipe off the band again with a dampened towel.  Nylon bands can be treated with a neutral pH liquid detergent such as Dawn and washed in cold water. Treat leather bands with a leather cleaner and conditioner. This helps remove stains as well as protect against new ones. Use an old toothbrush to loosen stubborn debris and tough stains. These brushes are soft enough that they won’t wear out the band’s fibers. You may also dampen a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and wipe down the band. Pat away as much moisture as you can with a microfiber cloth. Water must not be allowed to sit on metal or leather. Once this is done, place the band aside in a safe location. Keep it out of direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.

SUMMARY: Wipe the band with a dry cloth. Lightly dampen a microfiber cloth. Treat fabric bands with soap-free cleanser. Scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Dry off the band.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Because plexiglass retains dirt and grime, using something like a paper towel or tablecloth will scratch the surface of the plexiglass. Microfiber cloths will not dig into the pores of the plexiglass and will not damage or scratch the plexiglass once the dirt has been blown off the surface. Good alternatives to microfiber cloth are cheesecloth, terry cloth, jersey cloth, cotton flannel, or any other non abrasive material. Carefully wipe along the plexiglass surface being sure to only touch portions of the plexiglass that are still wet from the solution. Focus on particularly dirty spots, taking special care not to scrub or apply too much pressure to the surface. If you have wiped the surface of the plexiglass once and the plexiglass is still dirty, pour the solution over the plexiglass again and repeat the process of gently wiping with a microfiber cloth. Repeat this process as many times as necessary. Do not allow the plexiglass to air dry or sit for too long while it is wet, or else you will leave behind visible water spots. If you find that your plexiglass has dried and retained water spots, just repeat the cleaning process again. Water spots are not anymore difficult to remove than dirt or grime, and should come off easily.

SUMMARY:
Use a microfiber cloth to prevent surface scratches. Wipe the wet plexiglass with your microfiber cloth. Spray the solution onto the surface and gently wipe any grime that still exists. Wipe the plexiglass until it is dry.
