Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a checklist of item to include in the kit. Include a variety of bandages. Consider including additional first aid items. Include medications depending on your child’s age.

Answer: This list will not only help you stock the new kit initially, it will also help you keep track of what items have been used and need to be replaced, expiration dates, and whether or not any items or medications are missing.  You should also review this list with your child as you stock the first aid kit, explaining to them what each item is, what is for, and how to use it.  Consider the age of your child. For example, a kit for a child who's 5-10 years-old might include mostly bandaids, antiseptic towelettes, and possibly instant cold packs. However, a kit for a pre-teen or teen might also be stocked with medicated ointment, sterile gauze, medical tape, an ACE bandage, a thermometer, eye wash, calamine lotion, aloe vera gel, and cough drops. If your child takes a medication and knows how to administer it themselves, you might include it in the kit. Keep all of your bandages together in a section of the kit.  If your kit does not already have dividers built in, put all of the bandages in a clear plastic bag labeled “BANDAGES” with permanent marker.  You can also purchase smaller plastic containers to stack within the first aid kit, also labeling the container for bandages with permanent marker.  The Red Cross recommends including the following types of bandages and dressings in first aid kits:  2 absorbent compress dressings (5 x 9 inches) 25 adhesive bandages of various sizes 5 sterile gauze pads (3 x 3”) 5 sterile gauze pads (4 x 4”) Gauze roll Roll of cloth adhesive tape One 3” wide and one 4” wide roller bandages (“ACE bandage”) for wrapping wrist, elbow, ankle, and knee injuries 2 triangular bandages Sterile cotton balls and cotton-tipped swabs Depending on the size of your container and where the kit will be used, there are additional items that are recommended to include in a first aid kit.  These are more applicable for use with older children, since many of these items might not be safe for young children to handle.  Some additional kit items to include:  Sterile drinking water Eye protection Sterile eyewash Prepackaged space (warming) blanket Aluminum finger splint Safety pins (to easily fasten splints and bandages) Antibiotic ointment (ones containing ingredients such as bacitracin or mupirocin) Calamine lotion (for stings or poison ivy) Hydrocortisone cream, ointment, or lotion (for itching) Flashlight and extra batteries Turkey baster or other suction device (for flushing out wounds while on road trips or while camping) Depending on the age of the kid(s) using the kit, you may or may not include medicine within the first aid kit.  If you do choose to include medications, be sure to keep these separate from the bandages and tools, and make sure the smaller container or bag for medicine is clearly labeled as such.  You should also include a measuring cup for any liquid medication, and consider labeling each medicine with the required dosages. Recommended medications to include:  Low-dose pain and fever medicines, such as children's Tylenol Antacids to treat upset stomach Small doses of any prescription medications taken by the child/children Epinephrine autoinjector (if necessary)


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand what a headhunter does. Pick a headhunter in your field. Prepare a specialized resume Write a letter of introduction Call the recruiter directly.

Answer: Headhunters are not career counselors, job advisors, or life coaches. Their job is not to “find you a job,” it’s to recruit the best and brightest talent for on behalf of companies looking to fill open positions. Headhunters are third-party recruiters, hired by companies, working on commission, meaning that there’s little incentive in trying to hook up candidates with jobs they’re unlikely to get. The headhunter’s client is the company that’s hiring, not the job-seeker, meaning that it’s not in the headhunter’s job description to find jobs for everyone who comes in asking. Headhunters commonly work in healthcare, information technology, science and technology, finance, and medicine. Often, you won't have to find a headhunter, but an executive recruiter will get in touch with you, if you're an attractive-enough candidate for an open job. Headhunters can be found online and advertised in most job-finding resources. To give yourself the best chance of getting in touch with a recruiter, try to stay as connected to business networking as possible. Start a LinkedIn page and keep in touch with business contacts as much as possible. . Before you visit with a headhunter or write a letter of introduction, it’s critical that you have prepared a detailed, professional, and specialized resume to consolidate your experience, references, and job descriptions. Again, it needs to be specialized, which means that it needs to be related skills, not part-time jobs or outdated study-abroad experiences. Recruiters don't help you write resumes, so you'll need to have one ready. Again, it's your job to make it easy for the headhunter to match you with the right job openings, it's not the headhunter's job to guide you through the process. You should be ready to sell yourself the moment you get in touch with a headhunter. . Write a brief letter to the prospective headhunters stating what you are looking for and where you're looking. State in your closing that you would be happy to provide your resume should the recruiter feel your skill set matches their current needs.  Generally, headhunters won't keep resumes on file for the future, even if you're an attractive candidate. Again, it's not their job to worry about getting people jobs, they're worried about filling positions. If you get no response, don't' take it as a sign that you're not right. Wait an appropriate length of time and try again in the future. Keep it brief. With no more than a half a page, it may be appropriate to provide bullet points give a brief summary of your experience. Most headhunters won't spend much, if any, time looking over letters, so get to the point and keep it extremely brief. Front-load with the most important information. It's sometimes the most effective way of getting a quick answer about whether or not you might be an appropriate fit to consider for recent openings if you just call directly. Even if the answer is no, you won't have to wait around wondering and hoping for an answer. You'll just know.
