Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Bring up the topic of hanging out first so you can steer the conversation. State clearly that it’s not a date. Invite him to go out with you in a group setting. Ask him if he wants to join in on something you’re already doing. Avoid going out to romantic date spots together. Let him know in advance that you’ll each pay your own way.

Answer: Avoid dropping hints and waiting around for him to invite you out – you might give off the signal that you want to be romantically pursued. Instead, mention the idea of hanging out as friends as soon as you’re ready to. Exhibit confidence to show that you’re totally comfortable with the idea of hanging out.  Try rooting your request in the fact that you already get along well: “I’m so glad we became friends otherwise this class would be unbearable! I know our schedules won’t line up after exam week, but I was wondering if you’d want to catch up sometime next term?” When you’re the person introducing the topic, you can direct it safely into friend territory. If you don’t give off any signs of awkwardness, he shouldn’t have any reason to feel uncomfortable about the idea of getting together either. But if you’re timid about it, both of you will sense that there’s something wrong with the whole idea. The best way to avoid ambiguity is to be upfront about your intentions. Within the first 1 or 2 sentences of your conversation or text message, say specifically that it’s not a date. Drop this line in before he has a chance to agree to your suggestion: “Hey, did you want to go to that concert? Just as friends, I mean?” or “Would you want to go to my roommate’s birthday thing with me – not as a date, but as friends?”  If your guy friend happened to invite you out via text, and you can’t tell if he wants a date or not, reply with something like this: “Yeah, rock climbing sounds great! Just to be clear, I’m not looking to date but I like hanging out with new friends.”  If his reply shows that he totally agrees with the just-friends thing, or even that he’s relieved that you've gotten that awkward topic out of the way, you’re in the clear. If you’re unsure about a 1-on-1 hangout, start off by socializing in a group. Ask him if he wants to tag along with you and your work buddies for happy hour, or invite everyone from your mutual friend group out for a movie night. Try to arrange a balanced group with a mix of guys and girls as well as singles and couples.  He’ll probably be more comfortable if there are other guys in the group and you’ll both appreciate it if you’re not stuck with only romantic couples. If you’re texting, specify in your initial message that the group you’re going with is “a group of friends.” Ask “Want to join us?” instead of “Want to join me?” so he gets the idea. This is a good way to put less pressure on your guy friend and your friendship overall: his response will be an acceptance or refusal the activity itself, not of you as a friend. Try asking something like, “Hey, I was planning to grab a quick bite after class, want to come along?” or “If you like jazz you should totally come to see my brother’s show on Saturday! I was just going to go by myself, but he gave me an extra ticket in case I wanted to bring a friend.” This works great if you’d like him to tag along on a group outing, but you can also try asking for something you’d otherwise be doing alone. Refrain from suggesting any place that has a romantic connotation. Steer clear of swanky restaurants, sultry cocktail bars, and even your local ice cream parlor if it has a reputation as a cute first-date spot. Similarly, avoid hanging out in a private place like your apartment. Instead, stick to public places such as family-friendly venues or big-group environments. Pick activities that reflect your shared interests, and prioritize going out during the day, rather than at night, to keep the atmosphere light and fun.  Try an outdoorsy adventure or tour a historic site if you’re both history buffs. If you want to meet up for drinks or a bite to eat, pick a low-key dive bar or a casual sports bar with an upbeat energy. You should have already told him that it’s not a date, but you still need to address the topic of who pays for what. Tell him that you’d like it if you each buy your own ticket, split the bill in half, or that you’ll cover it and he can transfer you his share of the fee later.  By working out an agreement ahead of time, you won’t encounter any is-it-a-date awkwardness when it’s time to pay. Don’t expect him to pick up the tab. Even if he wants to be a gentleman and pay for you, politely decline the offer. Similarly, don’t expect him to go out of his way to give you a ride to your meetup spot. If carpooling makes the most sense, go for it. Otherwise, be prepared to get there and get home by yourself. Feel free to shoot over a simple text confirming the plan: “So I’ll meet you there at 7, and we can split it halfway, right?”


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Include your contact information. Prepare a detailed list of your education, training, and skills. Make a section to show your past employment. Consider including hobbies. Keep your resume the right length.

Answer: The point of your resume will be to allow your potential employer to evaluate your skills and contact you for an interview.  All parts of the resume are important but without your contact information you will not be able to be contacted even if your skills are outstanding.  Include the following information about yourself at the top of your resume:  Your full name. Your address. Phone numbers. An email address. Personal websites that highlight your previous and relevant work. Part of any good resume is to outline your skills and education.  This should be a clear and detailed list of your qualifications for the position which will demonstrate the assets you are offering to bring to the employer if hired.  Include the following information regarding your education:  The full name of any institutions you attended. Include the address of those institutions. When you graduated and what degree you earned. Additional minors or majors. Including your GPA can demonstrate your academic achievements. Listing your past employers is a requirement for most resumes.  In listing who you worked for last you demonstrate what you have already accomplished professionally and what duties you performed in those roles.  Review the following details that you should include for your past employers:  Full name of the employer The date you were hired and the date you left. Where that employer was located. Focus on your roles and responsibilities with that employer. After you have detailed your professional skills and qualifications you can also include relevant hobbies.  These hobbies should demonstrate your skill and passion for software development even further.  Only include your hobbies if you have enough space to do so as this section is optional on your resume.  Only include hobbies relevant to the position you are applying for. For example, you might program and develop games for the Android platform as a hobby. Another example would be any community events you organized that might demonstrate leadership. Include your hobbies only if you have room on your resume to do so. Employers are likely to receive a large amount of resumes that they will need to read through quickly.  If your resume is too long or short this can automatically cause you to be rejected for the position.  Strive to keep your resume at the appropriate length for the position you are applying for.  Many employers require your resume to be only one page in length. If you are seeking work fresh out of college then a one page resume is likely acceptable. Longer resumes will be required only if you have the relevant work experience to match.
