Q: Once you open the lock, turn the shackle off to the side so that you can access the shackle hole. If you do not have the old combination to the lock, you will not be able to reset it. If this is the first time you are using the lock, use the preset combination. This will be listed on the packaging material that came with the lock. The Master logo at the top should be turned to the side to face the shackle of the lock. Make sure to push the tool all the way in.  The reset tool is a long stick with a rounded top that says “Master” on it. This came with the lock when you bought it. If you do not have this tool, you will not be able to reset the lock. If you lost your reset tool, visit your local hardware store or locksmith. They may be able to order you a new one. You can turn it in any direction. If it won’t turn, try pushing in the reset tool farther. It should turn easily once it is in all the way. This will ensure that your new combination works and that the lock isn’t still set to the old combination. You must do 3 full rotations, ending on the same numeral that you started on. Choose 3 letters or numbers for your combination. To enter a new combination, turn the dial right and stop on your first letter. Then do 1 full rotation left, passing over the first letter and stopping on the second. Then turn it right and stop on the third letter. Turn the reset back to its original position with the Master logo facing the shackle. Pull it up to remove it. Return the shackle to its original position and press down on it to lock it. Your lock has now been reset. You may want to put it in a journal, on a post-it note near your desk, or in a password wallet. Master Lock offers a secure online system to save your combinations called Master Lock Vault.
A: Open the lock using the old combination. Insert the reset tool into the shackle hole. Turn the reset tool so that the Master logo is facing you. Rotate the dial clockwise 3 times to clear the old combination. Enter your new combination. Remove the reset tool to lock it. Write down the combination in a safe place.

Q: . Very few people are true beginners when it comes to English. "Hello," "hi," "How are you?" and numerals have infiltrated most societies. Odds are you know more English than you think.  Take what you know. For example, "How are you?" That uses the verb "to be." What are other questions just like this? Take what you know and expand it! How is she?How is your father?How are your children?How is the weather?   Start memorizing verbs. The top ten most common verbs in English are the following: "be," "have," "do," "say," "get," "make," "go," "know," "take," and "see." Just knowing these verbs can get you through a lot of basic conversations. English is subject-verb-object, in that order. Your subject pronouns are: "I," "you," "he"/"she"/"it," "we," "you," "they." Object pronouns in English are: "me," "you," "him"/"her"/"it," "us," "you," "them." With those verbs and knowing English is SVO, what sentences can you come up with? I know her.She makes it.He takes us. ractice conversations. Once you have basic subject and object pronouns down and a handful of verbs, you can start asking questions.  Questions often open with "who," "what," "when," "where," "why," and "how." "Who" indicates a person; "what" indicates a thing; "when" indicates a time; "where" indicates a place; "why" indicates a reason; "how" indicates a manner. Say you know the subjects, some basic nouns, those ten verbs, and these question starters. What are some things you could ask an English speaker? What is your name?What do you do?When is your birthday?Where is she?Why do you have it?How do you know?
A: Start simple .

Q: If you’re preparing for an interview, you’ve probably already spent a lot of time thinking about your strengths. Now, take a little time to think about some of the major challenges you’ve faced in previous jobs or in school. If you’re not sure where to begin, ask yourself:  What sorts of issues have come up on past employee evaluations? Were there any recurring problems that your supervisor regularly brought up with you? What were some things you really disliked about your last job and would like to avoid in future jobs? What are some areas where you’d like to improve, personally or professionally? Consider how your personal attitudes and behaviors may have affected your job performance in the past. Don’t judge yourself harshly – just consider your personality objectively and try to think of a few concrete examples. For example, do you:  Try too hard to please others? Get frustrated easily when a project is not going as well as you would like? Procrastinate too much? Avoid asking for help even when you need it? Lack confidence in yourself or your wok? Being able to work well with others is an important part of most jobs. Think about what sorts of issues you might have faced in this area, and how those issues affected your work. Consider some of the following:  Do you have a hard time dealing with conflict? Do you ever have a hard time communicating with others? Do you struggle with being confident and assertive when speaking to a group or communicating face-to-face? Do you get frustrated with your co-workers easily? Look carefully at the job description, and think about areas where you lack experience or confidence. For example, are you familiar with current technology and software in your field? Does the work match well with previous job experience you’ve had? Were there some areas of your last job where you particularly struggled and would like to improve (e.g., grant writing or research)? Once you’ve had time to think about your weaknesses, write them down. Include both general weaknesses (e.g., issues with confidence or interpersonal skills) and weaknesses more specific to the type of work you would like to do. For example:  “I have a hard time dealing with conflict.” “I second-guess myself too much, which can make me indecisive.” “I don’t have very much experience with grant writing.” Some interviewers may ask you to address more than one weakness. Before you go into an interview, decide which weaknesses you want to talk about. Pick one primary weakness to focus on, but be prepared to address a couple others as well. For example, you might plan to talk primarily about how you’ve had to work hard to build your confidence as a public speaker. You could follow up by addressing your lack of experience with making spreadsheets, and your tendency to take on too many projects at once. Avoid bringing up any weaknesses that might be seen as preventing you from doing the job you are applying for. Instead, focus on issues that are peripheral to the job’s core functions, and that you are already working to resolve. For example, if you are applying for a job as a lecturer, don’t emphasize a fear of public speaking.
A:
Brainstorm your weaknesses and past challenges. Make note of habits or personality traits that could be weaknesses. Assess your interpersonal skills. Look for deficiencies in your job-related skillset. Write out a list of your weaknesses. Prepare to talk about 3 of your weaknesses. Stick to weaknesses that aren’t critical to the job.
