Article: Put your earbuds in and listen closely to determine where the sound is cutting out. If only one earbud is dead, it usually means there’s a short in that section of the wiring. If there’s no output whatsoever, the damage may be located around the jack. To do this, you’ll need to use a small, thin tool, such as a flat blade screwdriver or pocket knife. Wedge the tip of the tool into the groove where the two halves of the housing fit together, then push down and twist sharply to force them apart. Unless your earbuds are designed to be opened up, you may need to super glue them back together once you’re done with your repairs. Inside the earbud, you should see two copper wires, each running to a different terminal around the edges of the circular circuit board. You’re looking for wires that have broken or come loose from their terminals. If both wires seem to be in their proper place, the broken connection may be lower down the cord near the jack. Sometimes, the loose wire isn’t in one of the earbuds, but in the jack that plugs into your phone, laptop, or car stereo. In this case, you’ll need to remove the protective plastic barrel and peel back the rubber coating in order to expose the wires underneath. With the barrel out of the way, you’ll be able to apply solder freely as needed. Some headphone jacks have barrels that screw off. Others can be pulled away using a little bit of force. inside the earbuds before resoldering them. Lay the end of the desoldering braid flat over the blob of solder where the shorted wire has pulled away from the terminal. Heat the braid with your soldering iron where the two materials meet. The tightly-woven copper will wick up the remnants of the old solder, clearing the way for the new.  Desoldering braids (sometimes known as “desoldering wicks”) can be found at any hardware store or home improvement center. Once you’re done removing a blob of solder, cut the end off of the desoldering braid and repeat the process for each of the remaining blobs where the wire has come loose using a fresh section. Now that the faulty solder is out of the way, reattach the loose wire to its terminal and press a length of .032-diameter electronics solder into the joint. Heat the solder with your soldering iron to melt it and resecure the wire. Proceed to solder each broken wire.  If both wires are broken, you can reconnect them to either of the terminals on the circuit board. It may help to use a table clamp or pair of pliers to hold the cord and earbud together while you’re working. When soldering split wires at the jack, it’s important to first make sure they’re running to the right terminals. On most pairs of earbuds, the copper wire should go to the large central terminal, the red wire to the smaller righthand terminal, and the green wire to the left.  Connecting the wires to the wrong terminals could fail to solve the problem. If you had to cut off the jack to uncover the broken wires, purchase a replacement jack and solder the wires to the color-coded terminals as described in the included instructions.  On some replacement jacks, you can simply wind the broken wire through the small hole in the terminal a few times rather than soldering it on. Plug in your earbuds and play some music to confirm that you’re getting sound out of both sides. Once you’ve repaired the damage to the internal wiring, they should be as good as new. Happy listening!  If you’re still not getting any sound, it may be because the solder didn’t hold, or you’ve accidentally run the colored wires to the wrong terminals. You have to try again in order to correct your mistake. It's hard to justify the difficulty and expense of repairing shorts in the middle of the cord. If you suspect that's where the issue lies, you may be better off simply buying a new set of earbuds.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Pinpoint the source of the issue. Pry open the plastic housing of a defective earbud. Inspect the earbuds for faulty wiring. Remove the barrel from the jack if that’s where the issue lies. Clean away the old solder Solder the broken wires back to the terminals inside the earbuds. Reconnect each colored wire to its respective terminal to fix the jack. Test the earbuds to make sure they work.

Include any experience, even voluntary, that you have designing and programming for websites or apps.   It is important that you are honest when developing your CV. Don't include false experience or exaggerate. Steer clear of industry jargon and buzzwords. Present clearly what your experience is with out using words such as "synergy" or "creative". Include testimonials of your work and links to code or websites you have developed. Have a friend or colleague review your CV before you apply to jobs. Put your CV online after it has been completed or updated. Try using sites like LinkedIn or Career 2.0. Ask any industry connections you have to look at your CV to see if they know of any opportunities. An online presence for a web developer is vital to a successful career.   Put out a side project onto collaborative sites like GitHub. Contribute to open sourced projects on GitHub and similar websites. A prospective employer who sees that a candidate works with others on a web project in their spare time will be an attractive potential employee. Put your highest quality code on your online profiles. Once you have written some code or contributed to a project, you can put this on your CV. You could also start a blog about projects you are working on or trends in web development. Put a link to this on you CV. Potential employers will often look to see if a candidate is keeping up to date on trends and projects in the field. Especially if you are contacted by a recruiter or have applied to a specific job, it is important to know the ins and outs of a company.  Know how long a company has been in operation. Make sure you understand the goals and mission of the company. Become familiar with the companies products or services. A potential employer won't want to interview someone who clearly does not know what his company does or how they operate. Many companies will want you to take a technical competency test before or after an interview.  Take this seriously, even if the task seems trivial. Companies will want to see if you can code in a particular language or develop a specific type of website. Put as much effort into the exam as you can. You will want to make sure you don't have any errors in your code and that it compiles correctly. Use an online test to deploy your code for the test. This will show a potential employer that you know how to deploy code you have written. Do some of your own research about the company climate.  You should try to deduce what the company dress code is, the hours required, and if you will need to travel. Arrive 15 minutes early for an interview. This will show you are punctual and have time management skills. Prepare several questions of your own to ask an interviewer. You should ask questions about the work environment, company culture, what types of projects you will be expected to work on etc. Going to an interview with questions about the job is a good indicator to an employer that you have thought carefully about the interview and the job. Avoid common interview pitfalls. Don't ask about salary or badmouth past employers and colleagues. Don't exaggerate your experience when asked about projects you have worked on.
