Don't think your preparation is done when you get to the interview. Have a piece of paper with you to take notes. Write down specific keywords, and identify specific traits and skills the company is looking for based on what the person interviewing you is saying. Maybe you haven't had a chance to highlight your people skills. Alternatively, maybe you haven't had a chance to talk about your computer skills. Make a note on your paper about these lapses, so that you can address them in an open-ended question later, such as "Why should I hire you?" For instance, you may notice the interviewer thinks you are overqualified if she keeps asking about your years of experience and how you would do with people younger than you being in charge. Alternatively, maybe the interviewer thinks you don't have the skills of the job, which you may have noticed when she asked about a specific skill that you're not strong in. If the job description wasn't particularly detailed, feel free to ask some questions yourself. That way, you have a better idea of what the job entails, so you can answer the question more directly.  Ask questions such as "What goals will the person who’s hired be asked to focus on immediately?” or “What qualities do you usually look for in a new hire?” You can also ask a question such as "What is a typical day like in this position?"

You can either boil the water in the microwave or use a kettle on the stovetop. If you use the microwave, it’ll take about 2-3 minutes, but check it before putting it into the pitcher to make sure it’s hot enough to steep tea in. If the water is boiling or steaming, it is hot enough. If you want to use a temperature gauge, aim for about 180 to 200 °F (82 to 93 °C). The ice helps cool the tea down quickly, and it’ll also double your recipe once it has melted. About 2-3 hours in the fridge should be long enough to cool it down, but go ahead and serve the tea over additional ice if it’s still a little warm. Try subbing out half of the ice for frozen berries instead. You can keep leftover iced tea in the fridge for 4-5 days. Just make sure to cover the top with a lid or plastic wrap so bugs can’t get into it.

Crush a single clove of garlic into a paste. You can also purchase garlic paste, but make sure there aren't a bunch of other ingredients added. Apply the garlic paste directly to the blister. You can also mix the garlic paste with a few drops of castor oil to make it easier to spread.  Garlic has natural antibiotic properties which can kill bacteria or viruses that could be infecting your blister. Apply a few drops of aloe vera gel directly onto the blister. If you're using gel directly from the plant, you may need to squeeze it out of the leaf and gently rub it over your blister. If you purchase aloe vera gel, choose a product that lists aloe vera as the first ingredient and doesn't contain other fillers.  Aloe contains natural anti-inflammatory and antibiotic substances that may help treat the infected blister while moisturizing the skin. Look for a pure tea tree oil and apply it directly to your blister. It may be easiest to drop the oil onto a cotton swab and gently dab it on your blister. You can also choose a blister ointment that contains tea tree oil and apply it to your blister. Tea tree oil has antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. More research is needed to determine how effective tea tree oil is against bacterial, fungal and viral infections. Take ¼ teaspoon of thyme or oregano and stir in about a ½  teaspoon of hot water. Let the thyme and oregano leaves soak in the hot water until they swell up. Let the mixture cool apply the thyme or oregano leaves directly onto your blister. Both thyme and oregano are traditionally used to treat infections. If you can find mullein, yarrow or plantain outside, take a few leaves (or flowers from mullein) and crush them into a paste. Add a few drops of castor oil if you need to make the paste easier to spread. Apply the paste directly to the blister. These plants have antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties.
