The key to continued eligibility for unemployment benefits is that you are able and available for work. If you weren't both able and available all 7 days of the week, your benefits may be reduced.  For example, you may have been unable to work for 2 days because you were sick. Be honest about this in your claim certification. If you were unavailable for any other reason, state that reason specifically. You may be able to keep your full benefits for the week if you were unavailable through no fault of your own. You're expected to actively look for work the entire time you're getting unemployment benefits. Some states may have specific job search sites you're supposed to use. You may also be required to attend a specific number of interviews each week, or submit a specific number of applications.  Write down the name and address of any company where you submitted an application, along with the job title for which you applied. Include the date you submitted each application, and the current status of that application. This includes any follow-up calls you've made to the company or any letters you've received regarding your application. If you had job interviews over the course of the week covered by your certification, provide the name of the employer along with the date and time of the interview. You may also include the job title for which you were interviewed. If you scheduled future interviews, you may want to list those as well, along with the date when the interview is scheduled. Refusing a job offer may mean you're no longer eligible for unemployment benefits. However, you're not required to accept just any job offer as a condition of keeping your benefits. You are only required to accept an offer that is suitable for your educational background and work experience.  For example, if you have a law degree, you wouldn't be required to accept an offer to be a clerk at a supermarket or fast food restaurant. If you turned down an offer but believe it wasn't in keeping with your qualifications, be prepared to explain that.

Summary: Explain when you were able and available to work. Describe your job search. List any job interviews you had. Be honest if you turned down employment.


Your therapist may give you “homework” for after your hypnosis. This may include meditations or self-hypnosis practices that will help you maintain the progress you made in the session. Follow these instructions to get the most out of your treatment. It can be helpful to write down any changes or improvements you experience after your session. It will help you be mindful of the changes you're trying to make, and also determine whether the treatment was effective. Like any major change, the effects of hypnosis are typically not instant or dramatic. Don't be disappointed if you don't see any changes overnight, and don't abandon any other methods for meeting your goals because you expect hypnosis to work as a miracle cure. If you simply don't feel any improvement from your hypnotherapy, there's nothing wrong with seeking out a different therapist. If you still have follow-up sessions scheduled with your therapist, make sure you won't have to pay a cancellation fee.

Summary: Follow up on your hypnotherapist's instructions after the session. Keep a journal to track your progress. Expect any effects to be slow and gradual. Change hypnotherapists if you are unsatisfied.


Look for a cleansing conditioner product that contains a 1:3 ratio of shampoo to conditioner. This way, you can clean your hair while you condition it. It may be easier to shower quickly if you don't need to take the time to apply and rinse out two separate hair-care products. Long or thick hair may take more time to wash than shorter cuts. If your shower has a nozzle with adjustable water pressure, turn on a jet stream so the water sprays harder. The more quickly your hair gets wet, the more quickly you can wash it. If you're in a hurry, try foregoing the shampoo and conditioner for the day. Get your hair wet, but don't use any time-consuming hair products. You do not need to shampoo your hair every day. If you're feeling dirty, but you're in an extreme rush, consider leaving your hair dry altogether. Use a shower cap to keep the moisture out, or simply hold your hair out of the shower stream.

Summary: Wash your hair with a 2-in-1 shampoo conditioner. Use high water pressure to wet your hair quickly. Consider not washing your hair.


Move one of the oven racks into the center position so your fish can cook thoroughly. Turn the oven onto 400 °F (204 °C) and let it preheat completely or else the fish won’t have an even cook. Lay the fish flat on its side on the baking pan. If you’re making multiple fish, then leave about 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) between them so you have space to add aromatics. Fill in the space around the fish with sliced lemons and red onion so they can cook down and infuse flavors into the meat. You don’t need to use lemon and onion if you don’t want to, but it can add a lot of flavor to the dish. Put the baking pan in your oven on the center rack, and leave it alone for at least 15 minutes.  Check the internal temperature of the fish with a meat thermometer to make sure it’s at or above 145 °F (63 °C), or else it’s not safe to eat. Remove the fish from the oven once it’s done cooking and the meat flakes apart easily. The cooking time for each fish will vary depending on its size and thickness. Transfer one of the tilapia along with some of the cooked onions onto a serving plate with a fresh wedge of lemon. You can eat the skin and the meat of the tilapia. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Summary: Preheat your oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Place the fish in a baking tray with sliced lemons and red onions. Bake the fish uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Serve the tilapia whole while it’s still hot.
