Q: That is, make sure you're not interrupting anything. People may respond to you but not really have time for a drawn-out chat. If the person makes it clear that he doesn't want to chat now, ask if you can chat in the future. If he says no, respect his wishes. Most people are turned off by bad grammar. Also, if you're over 20, avoid using "netspeak," such as "u" for "you" or "r" for "are." If you send a couple of messages and he doesn't respond, stop trying to initiate conversation, especially if your messages are marked "read" by the messenger.
A: Always ask if the person has time to chat. Back off if the person doesn't want to chat. Check your grammar. Stop trying to initiate conversation if he doesn't respond.

Article: A cover page for a resume should be formatted as a professional letter, with the cover only one page in length. The document should be aligned to the left and single-spaced, with a blank line separating each paragraph. You should usually use standard 1-inch (2.5-cm) margins, but you can use margins as small as 0.7 inch (1.8 cm) as long as they are the same on all sides. Each of these components should be placed on a separate line. Be sure to include your full name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. This will make it easy for potential employers to contact you. If you have a fax number, you should include it below your phone number and above your e-mail address. Write the date in Month, Day, Year format if you are in the United States. Most other Western countries use a Day, Month, Year format, while China and Japan use Year, Month, Day.  Write out the full name of the month, rather than abbreviating by using a number. For example, rather than write 1/1/2001, you should write January 1, 2001. Leave a blank line above and below the date. Name the specific contact you are sending your resume to, along with his or her title and the address of the company. The receiver's name and title should be listed on the same line and separated by a comma. The name of the company should be written below the name of your contact, and the address of the company should be placed below that.  Note that you do not need to include an e-mail address, phone number, or fax number for the company. If you do not know the name of a specific contact at the company, skip over that information. Formally address the reader with the word "Dear." You should address your letter to a specific person whenever possible. When you are unable to find a specific name, though, you can address the letter to "Dear Hiring Manager," "Dear Hiring Professionals," or "Dear Selection Committee."  When you can determine the gender of the receiver, leave out his or her first name and address the receiver as "Mr." or "Ms." For example, "Dear Ms. Smith" or "Dear Mr. Johnson." If you do not know the gender of the receiver, skip the title and use his or her full name. For example, "Dear Pat Roberts." Leave a blank line before and after you address the receiver. The introduction should be brief and include your most basic, essential information.If you have had any previous contact with your reader or with the company, state that contact in your introduction.  If you are a student, state the university you attend and your major. Indicate what position you are applying for as well as how or where you heard about the position. You can also mention the name of a professional or academic contact you know who has a positive connection to the reader or company. Use the body of your letter to explain how you are qualified for the position and why you would be a good addition to the company. Make sure to include a few specific examples that prove your point.  Review the job ad and note any specific qualities requested by the employer. Touch on these qualities in your body paragraph. List any special projects, awards, or accomplishments that have a clear connection to the skill set requested by the employer. Write a short concluding paragraph that expresses your eagerness about the position. At this point, you can also request an interview or state that you intend to contact the reader in several weeks. You can include your phone number and e-mail address, as well, but it is not entirely necessary since this information is included in your header. Type a polite closing like "Thank you" or "Sincerely," then include your full typed name four lines below your closing. Sign your name by hand in between the closing and your typed name. Always use black ink to sign formal documents.

Q: After you've had a relapse, whether it was just bumming one cigarette at a party or smoking an entire pack during a rough day, it's time to sit back and ask yourself why it happened. Understanding why you had a relapse is the key to preventing future relapses. Here are some questions you should ask yourself:  Did you have a relapse because you were feeling stressed? If so, you should think more about how you can minimize your stress, or avoid particularly stressful situations. For example, if you had a cigarette because of a stressful day at work, find a way to deal with another stressful day at work, such as having ice cream or watching your favorite movie after work instead. Did you have a relapse because you were in a situation that made you want to smoke? If you had a cigarette at your friend Beth's party because you associate her parties with having a nice cool smoke on the back porch, then you should either avoid her parties for a while or come equipped with gum, a dessert, or a game plan for beating the craving. What were you feeling right before you relapsed? Recognizing those feelings can help you fight them in the future. This is an important point. Just because you had one cigarette or relapsed for a day doesn't mean you should think you're a failure and give up entirely. Don't use the relapse as an excuse to go back to smoking. Just because you had a moment of weakness doesn't mean that you're a weak person and that you don't have the skills to quit.  Just do what you've been doing. If you've been trying to quit for a while, then your body will be craving cigarettes less than it normally would, even if you've had a relapse. Be extra vigilant after the relapse. For the week after the relapse, try harder than ever to stay busy and active, to avoid temptation, and to manage your stress. There's a reason only 3 -10% of people can successfully quit smoking cold turkey. It's tough. If you've been trying to quit cold turkey for months or even years but always relapse or even fall into long periods when you resume your regular smoking routine, then cold turkey may not be the best method for you. Here are some other great methods to try:  Behavioral therapy. A behavioral therapist will help you find your triggers, provide support, and can help you decide the best way to quit. Nicotine replacement therapy. Nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, and sprays are ways of giving your body nicotine without the tobacco. This is a good way of weaning your body off off nicotine instead of quitting all at once. Medication. See your doctor about getting a prescription for a medicine that will help you quit smoking. Combination treatments. Behavioral therapy, replacement therapy or medication, and ample support from friends and family can be the best way to ensure that you will truly quit smoking for good.
A:
Reflect after the relapse. Resume your routine. Know when to try other methods for quitting.
