Summarize the following:
Analyzing information is an important way of showing how you can sift through data to uncover what it means. Think about things that you’ve had to analyze in past jobs. Try to come up with an example where you took the results of your analysis and used them to make something happen. You might say that you analyzed a previous company's marketing strategies and improved them, leading the company to increase sales by 15%. Every employer wants an employee who is able to not only fix problems, but notice problems that haven’t been spotted yet. When writing your cover letter, talk about a time when you had to come up with a solution to an issue.  Make sure you didn’t cause the issue — maybe another employee messed up and you solved the problem, or your boss wanted to make something better and you came up with a solution. An example of how to incorporate problem-solving skills into your cover letter might be, "I noticed that our product was being sent back within the first month in many cases. After reading the reviews from the specific people who returned the item, I found that our product was made of weak plastic. I set a plan in motion to change the plastic to a stronger material." Show your potential employer that you know how to search for answers. Employers want someone who can weed out bad sources and collect information in a timely manner. If you’ve done research for a job in the past, specify the details of the task and make sure you mention it on your resume. An example might be, “Researched the best type of freezer truck to invest in and came up with a cheaper alternative to the one currently being used.” It’s important to show that you’re able to work with data while analyzing it as well. If you had a previous job that involved dealing with large numbers or organizing a wide range of information, this is a great skill to list on your resume or CV.  An example might be that you maintained and updated an Excel spreadsheet with all of the clients’ information on it, and it would be listed under your job description. Using exact numbers, percents, or figures on your resume, cover letter, or CV will show professionalism while also providing more detail. When you’re able to think creatively, you can come up with solutions that others might not have thought of — a very valuable characteristic to an employer. If you’re a creative thinker, come up with an example to demonstrate this. Show how you can see problems differently from others. Maybe you thought of an out-of-the-box solution to a problem, or you came up with different methods of tackling a job. You may be an incredible analyst, but if you aren’t able to explain your findings to others, your findings won't translate. You need to show that you can take difficult, intricate information and make it easy to understand. Refer to a time when you created an interactive diagram of your findings, or you successfully conducted a presentation to a large group of people. This is a skill you could list on your resume under job responsibilities, or you could mention a time when you communicated information to a group in your cover letter. Planning something takes analytical skills to do the research, find the best options, and carry out the results. If you planned an event or project, mention it on your resume or cover letter. Include some specifics and make sure to mention the success of the event or the outcome of the project. For example, you might say that you planned a company-wide meeting, mentioning how many people attended and what was accomplished at the meeting. If you changed something for the better at a previous job, this is a great thing to mention on a resume or cover letter. Giving examples of ways you made a company better is an excellent way to encourage employers to hire you.  You could talk about how you used your analytical skills to increase the number of hits your company’s website got per day, or how you improved the production process while decreasing production time. Mentioning improvements you've made is something you can list on your CV under the specific job title. It's also a great topic to bring up in a cover letter to show how you stand out.

summary: Spotlight times when you analyzed material. Emphasize your problem-solving skills. Draw attention to how you can effectively research. Show that you’ve worked with large numbers and data. Explain how your creative thinking is beneficial. Highlight how you’re great at communication. Write about events or projects that you planned. Point out any improvements you made at previous jobs.

For the sauteed ramps, you’ll need ½ pound (227 g) of ramps. To prepare them for cooking, use a sharp knife to cut off the roots. Next, run the ramps under cool water at the sink to remove any dirt or debris. To ensure that the ramps are dry, it’s a good idea to place them in a colander or sieve after you rinse them. Shake them well to remove any excess moisture. Place a nonstick skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of extra virgin olive oil, and allow it to heat until it begins to shimmer, which should take 2 to 3 minutes. If you prefer, you can substitute butter for the olive oil. When the ramp bulbs and leaves are finished cooking, stir in some salt and pepper to taste to season them. Place them in a serving bowl, and serve as a side with your favorite main course.  If you prefer, you can add other seasonings to the ramp, such as chili powder or cumin. The sauteed ramps also make a delicious topping for sandwiches and pizza.
summary: Trim and wash the ramps. Heat the oil. Season the ramps with salt and pepper and serve.
