Article: Avoid opening your resume with a “resume objective” which lays out all of your work experience chronologically, as this can make you appear old or over-experienced for the position. Rather, use the opening summary or narrative to describe list work experience from the previous decade. This structure will also allow you a space to explain what you can offer the company and how your professional skills will benefit them, if hired. This brevity will let you concisely describe why you are the ideal candidate for the job in question, using skills that you have acquired in your last decade (or so) of work experience. Tailor the language of your opening summary to align with the specific position requirements given in the job posting. If you feel that you need to mention work experience that outlines the most recent decade, consider adding it farther down your resume, in a section titled “Previous Work Experience” or “Additional Work Experience.” For example, one of the sentences in your opening summary could state, “I am a skilled communicator with over eight years of experience, and I have demonstrated my ability to oversee multiple projects while meeting frequent deadlines.” Transferable skills are those which you have acquired in one field of work—or in one long-term job—which can be transferred and applied to another professional field and job. When hiring older workers, employers are often concerned that the workers’ job skills will have become limited and stagnant; indicate otherwise by describing ways in which your skills from previous jobs will be applicable to your new potential job.  Transferable skills include things like the ability to communicate with a range of employees and executives in a company, management skills (including delegating responsibilities to subordinates, and simultaneously overseeing multiple projects), and interpersonal proficiencies (being able to motivate and resolve conflicts with others). You may have acquired transferable skills outside of the workplace; these deserve to be mentioned on your resume too. For example, if you had a career as a homemaker, did substantial volunteer work, or have gaps of unemployment in your past, find ways you can present skills acquired during these periods of your life as transferable. As a general rule, the “Past Employment” section of your resume should highlight your most outstanding professional achievements. That said, it will not look impressive if most of your successes were in the 1980s or 1990s. Tailor your resume to focus strongly on recent professional work and achievements. Your priority in the resume should be to feature skills and strengths that make you a viable candidate for the job, and that you have implemented in recent employment. It’s less important that you exhaustively catalogue decades of previous work experience. For example, describe job experience with statements like: “Oversaw software development and managed teams of developers from 2005 to 2015.” Even if you held this position before 2005, focusing only on the most recent decade will allow you to present your most up-to-date skills.

Article: Brittle, thin hair that’s been damaged by over-processing can be extremely aging. If you’ve been coloring your hair frequently and it is starting to feel a bit like brittle straw, skip your next color session. Give your hair a few weeks of recovery time before coloring it again. In the meantime, use plenty of hydrating hair products and protein treatments to get your hair’s strength back up. These can severely damage color-treated hair, especially professional-grade tools. Try to limit the use of heating tools to three times per week. Whenever you do use these tools, always use heat protection hair products along with them. Invest in a good heat protection spray, which should be applied before you use the heating tool.  Hold your blow dryer no closer than 24 inches from your head during use. Consider buying an ionic blow dryer, which can dry your hair very quickly and cause less damage then a traditional one. Avoid wet-to-dry straightening irons, which are very damaging. Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, since these ingredients can damage the hair cuticle, especially color-treated hair. Avoid alcohol-based hair products completely, since these are very drying. Use deeply hydrating products to keep your hair moisturized and in good shape.  Look for products with hydrating ingredients like glycerin, keratin, Argan oil, coconut oil, vitamin E, Moroccan oil and avocado oil.  Use a deep conditioner or hair mask at least once a week. Each time you shampoo and condition your hair, color and moisture are being stripped out of it. The less you wash color-treated hair, the better. Try to make it a day or two in between washings to extend your hair color. Invest in a good dry shampoo, which you can use on the days you don’t wash your hair.  Dry shampoo wicks away oil and leaves hair lightly scented. Avoid dry shampoos with a powdery finish. These can leave a visible film on your hair, especially if you have dark hair.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Skip the color if you have damaged hair. Minimize the use of heat-styling tools. Choose hair products that are beneficial to hair health. Wash your hair less frequently.
