Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a hairdryer to heat up the leather. Wear thick socks if heating shoes. Put on clothing you’d like to stretch out after heating it.

Answer: Heat helps leather stretch by opening up the pores and making it soft. Turn on a hairdryer and aim it at the leather you’d like to stretch, heating the leather evenly. Wait until the leather is warm and soft before turning the hairdryer off. If you’re trying to stretch out your shoes, put on thick socks before using a hairdryer. Once your socks and shoes are on, use the hairdryer to heat up your shoes. Move your feet around in the shoes to stretch them out effectively. Make sure to wear your shoes as they cool off to ensure that they hold the stretch. Use a hairdryer to heat up an article of clothing you’d like to stretch. This can be a leather shirt, jacket, pants, or belt. Once it’s warm and soft, put on the article of clothing. Move around in it to stretch the leather out, and keep the article of clothing on until the leather is cool.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cover the top the the custard with a thin layer of sugar. Place the ramekins on a fireproof surface. Light the torch and leave it on its highest setting. Hold the tip of the torch 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) from the sugar. After a few dark brown spots form, remove the torch and let the sugar cool for about 10 seconds.

Answer: Depending on how thick you want the crust, you can use anywhere from one teaspoon to one tablespoon for a typical ramekin.  Raw sugar (turbinado) works very well.  However, some people use regular granulated sugar or even brown sugar.   Keep the flame moving around the sugar so it heats evenly. Then apply the torch a second time to brown it more evenly.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Include your educational level. Add work experience creatively. Use your words wisely. List any special skills or achievements.

Answer: As teens frequently have little experience beyond their high school education, include a section outlining our education on the top of your resume.  Start with your most recent school and work your way back. However, you should not go all the way back to elementary school. Just list your college, if you're enrolled, and your high school education.  If you've accrued any honors during high school or college, it's a good idea to list them. Things like the honors roll, honors college, or Dean's list speak to a strong work ethic. If you have a particularly high GPA, you might want to list that too. Oftentimes, teens have yet to have a real job or their work experience is very limited. However, there are ways to creatively present work experience in a way that displays a strong skill set even if work experience is limited.  List formal or informal volunteer work, babysitting, or any gardening, dog walking, or other chores you may have done for relatives or neighbors for money. Even if these are not highly formal jobs that require a large skill set, the fact you performed them on a somewhat regular basis speaks to a strong work ethic and good time management skills.  Low wage, part time jobs may not seem like much, but mentioning things like waitressing or retail work can look good if you highlight how such jobs helped you with interpersonal communication. Focus on how you talked to and assisted customers and the vast amount of information you had to manage. Make use of resume "buzz words" when you list the jobs you have held. Buzz words are words used on resumes to make work experience appear impressive to help catch an employer's eye.  Online, you can find lists of resume buzzwords that will help up your chances of getting the job you want. Things like classified, analyzed, facilitated, collected, assessed, calculated, trained, and designed are just a small example of the kinds of words that look great on a resume. Using buzzwords can make jobs seem impressive and emphasize the transferable skills you gained from basic labor jobs. If you waitress on the weekend in high school, a good bullet point for your job description might be "Interacted politely with multiple customers on a nightly basis, maintaining a positive public image for the business." Specifics are also important. Employers love it when tasks are quantified. Say you're a junior in high school and spent the summer tutoring middle school students in math. Instead of saying "Tutored students each week," can be worded in a more impressive manner and in a way that quantifies your work. For example, "Tutored a rotating group of 6 to 7 students on a bi-weekly basis, conveying concepts of basic algebra and geometry in an age-appropriate manner." While you may be spotty on actual job experience, having a section titled something like "Achievements and Honors" can help you highlight impressive non-work related information.  If you've ever won any contests or excelled in an extracurricular activity, this would be a great thing to add in a resume.  Being the captain of a team, playing a sport, having a band, or operating a blog with appropriate content are all things that are impressive to employers as they show a capacity for leadership and initiative.  If you're a college student, list any scholarships you received. Putting emphasis on high grades and good study skills shows that you're a hard worker and would apply yourself to a job if hired.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make the first move. Give a Cancer space and time. Gently touch a Cancer once you begin to feel like they are opening up to you. Make friends with the friends of a Cancer.

Answer:
A Cancer will rarely make the first move, so it is going to be up to you to step up and initiate a conversation.  Their emotional delicacy and fear of rejection tends to keep them at bay, but they will be open to your initiation. Do not rush them into a decision on the spot.  If you try to force them to give you an answer right away, that answer will likely be “no” and they will pull away from you.  Make suggestions and allow them time to make their decision.  If you ask them on a date, give them options of when and where, then allow them time to decide. Leave them with a question.  Give them time to consider your proposal, and check back with them later in the night to see what they think. A cancer enjoys physical affection.  Their erogenous zone is their chest.  This works better when flirting with a man than a woman.  Gently touch a Cancer man on the chest as you are flirting.  You could gently pat him on the chest when he genuinely makes you laugh. Gently run your hand along his chest as you briefly walk away, before you return to check in on him. While you want to avoid touching a woman’s chest while you are flirting, you can still be physically affectionate and reach out to touch her shoulder or forearm. Cancers are very loyal people and tend to have a small group of very close friends.  They will take their friends’ opinion of you to heart.  Being respectful and kind to a Cancer’s friends will draw you closer to the inner circle.  Spend some time with the Cancer’s friends when the Cancer walks away.  Befriend them on your own. Actively listen to what the friends have to say.  Make a point to learn their names and remember specific things about who they are and what they do. Ask a Cancer about their friends when just the two of you are together.  If someone had an important meeting come up, ask how it went.  If one of their friends is going through a tough time, follow up and ask the Cancer how that person is doing.
