Write an article based on this "Research the company or organization you're interested in. Examine the company's social media accounts. Check the company's current or past job listings. Look at the recent press releases and news updates. Check out what past or current employees have to say."
article: Peruse the organization's website and look at their major divisions. Get a feel for what it does well, as well as its main goals. Try to find the "About Us" page and dig around for a mission statement.  To convince someone you should work at their company, you must first know as much as you can about their company. That way, you can match your skills with what they need. For instance, you might notice that the company is mid-sized, but that it seems to be run more like a family business. Alternatively, maybe you notice their primary mission is to produce high-end products, which drives all their decision-making. While the website will show the main projects the company is interested in, social media can show you the kind of company they present themselves as. It also speaks to the potential work environment. They may lean towards a traditional and professional environment, or they may present themselves as hip and up on new trends.  Be sure to check out the corporate blog, too, if you can find one. For instance, if the company posts quirky memes and responds with a little bit of snark and humor to their customers, they are likely fairly laid back. Even if they don't have a job listed that you want, the wording they use in their listings gives you an idea of the kind of employee they want. You may need to make inferences based on what they say. For instance, maybe they ask for a "team player," which means they want someone who communicates well and is able to work together with people on projects. You can find this on their website. You can also use a search engine if it's a large company. Basically, you just want to know what the company has been focusing on recently so you can use that in your letter of interest. For instance, if the company is creating a new line of products, that tells you where the company is headed. Alternatively, if they are pulling back from products, that could indicate they're in a slump and need a push in the right direction. Many sites have areas that allow employees to review a company. You can glean a lot of information about the company from these sites, including what they expect from their employees. If you know someone from the company, ask them a few questions. For instance, if you notice the company is moving in a new direction, ask the employee what led to that change.

article: Love is a strong predictor of well-being. Relationships, in general, are so crucial to our sense of well-being. We need mutually satisfying friendships and relationships with family in order to be happy; this is what makes us human.  Happy people tend to be more social than unhappy people. So get out there and socialize. If you feel uncomfortable or anxious meeting new people, spend time with others you already know and feel safe around. You can build your confidence from there and work up to talking to unknown individuals. Tell yourself, "Strangers are just friends I haven't met yet." Remember that it is more important to have close relationships with others instead of having many acquaintances that you don’t know very well. It’s about quality over quantity. To cultivate and tend to the friendships you already have. Understand that relationships are about give and take, or reciprocity. Sometimes you have to make compromises. Be agreeable, flexible, and willing to shift if you need to. But, avoid compromising your values in any way or engaging in risky situations. Give affection and have positive intimacy with others.

For example, you could serve at a food kitchen, or help build a house for tragedy survivors.
