Q: You can try something like, "Where did you go to school?" Basically, you want to give the person something easy to help break the ice and ease off the tension. You could also ask other small questions about how the interviewee got there, such as "Did you have trouble finding us?" or "Have you been here before?" This question is one of the most basic. It's open-ended for a reason; it gives the interviewee a chance to highlight key aspects of her skills and background. It also gives you a chance to assess how concise the candidate can be. You can phrase this question several ways, even as a statement. For instance, you could say "Tell me more about yourself," "Why did you apply for this job?" or "What do you think makes you a good candidate for this role?" The interviewee can tell if you're not actually listening, and if she notices that you aren't, she's likely to get more nervous or stumble over her words. In addition, if you don't jump in as soon as she's spoken a few words, you give her a chance to think through her answer and provide added details.  For instance, if she notes that she has a background in art, ask her how that could help her in this position. Additionally, be sure to look at her when she's speaking. It's fine to jot down the occasional note, but try not to be writing the whole time. As you go along, don't be afraid to change your tactics a bit based on how she answers your question. For instance, you may need to ask for clarification, tweak a question a bit, or ask for more information overall.  For instance, maybe she already mentioned that she's had several jobs in your field and listed how they're relevant, which means you can delete any question that comes later about that topic. If she says she pays attention to detail and you were planning on asking her how her skills fit the job, you could tweak the question a little by saying, "I heard you say you are detail-oriented. How do you think that will help you in this position?"
A: Begin with an easy question. Ask the interviewee about herself. Listen well. Gauge your questions with her answers.

Q: Pick the cilantro leaves off the stem. For this recipe, you need ¾ cup destemmed cilantro leaves. Measure and pour the leaves into your food processor. In addition to the cilantro, add 1 green onion and 2 cloves of peeled garlic. Measure and pour 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) lime juice, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) jarred jalapeños into the food processors. Sprinkle in a ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Cover the food processor with the accompanying lid. Pulse the ingredients until every component is approximately the same size. This will take approximately 30 seconds. Measure ¼ cup olive oil. Remove the lid and pour the oil into the food processor. Press pulse until the ingredients and blended. Measure 3 tablespoons (44.4 ml) organic mayo. Add the mayo to the food processor. Hold down pulse until the ingredients are combined. Transfer the chimichurri aioli to a sealed container. Store the sauce in the refrigerator. It will last up to one week in the fridge.
A: Destem the cilantro. Combine ingredients in the food processor. Pulse the ingredients in the food processor. Add the olive oil. Add the organic mayo. Can and store the aioli.

Q: Mites are one of the most common skin diseases in hamsters. Your vet will diagnose mites by taking a skin scrape (thin scrape of skin using a scalpel blade) and analyzing it with a microscope. Your vet may also brush your hamster while holding a white piece of paper to catch the mites. Your vet would then look at the mites with a magnifying glass. Two species of mites can affect hamsters. One of the species, Demodex criceti, is fairly easy to see and will look short and squat when viewed with a microscope. If you have multiple hamsters, isolate the one with mites until after treatment is complete. Mites are contagious, so you would not want your healthy hamsters developing a mite problem. If multiple hamsters are affected, treat them all at the same time. Several treatments are available for treating mites. One treatment is medicated shampoo. However, hamsters don’t like baths very much, so your hamster may resist getting bathed with the medicated shampoo. Another treatment is a medicated ointment that you would apply to the affected skin areas.  Oral ivermectin, which kills parasites, is a treatment option. You would place the prescribed number  of ivermectin drops into your hamster’s mouth. Anti-mite sprays are available as an over-the-counter treatment. Talk with your vet before using an over-the-counter medication on your hamster. A whole body dip is recommended for severe mite infestations. This dip would be with a medicated bath product containing ivermectin. Your vet would explain how to perform this dip at home. Old hamsters and those with a weak immune system may need to be treated for mites more than once. Talk with your vet before repeating treatment. Hamsters can get mites from their cage bedding. Therefore, cleaning and disinfecting your hamster’s cage is essential to treating mites. First, remove everything from the cage and throw away all of the bedding. Wash the entire inside of the cage with hot, soapy water and a sponge or scrub brush.  Wash all of cage accessories (food bowl, water bottle, plastic toys) with hot, soapy water as well.  Use a hamster-safe cage disinfectant, which is available at your local pet store. Disinfect the cage and the cage accessories according to product label instructions. Allow everything to dry before placing the items back in the cage. Use clean, fresh bedding.
A: Take your hamster to your vet. Isolate your hamster. Treat your hamster as prescribed. Repeat treatment, if necessary. Clean your hamster’s cage.

Q: Begin leaving the cage outside during the day so other sparrows can visit. If you are avoiding close interaction with the bird and it is interacting with wild sparrows, then its chances of re-acclimating to the wild are much better. If the baby bird is not interacting with wild birds then it needs to learn the songs of its species another way. This will allow it to communicate with other birds when it is released. There are audio files available online that you can play for the bird. Let it hop around on the grass after about 7-10 days old. If releasing the bird is your ultimate goal, try putting it in open space areas so they can learn to fly. Instinct will teach the bird to fly and discover what its wings are for.  Wait until it has wing feathers, then if it doesn't seem to know what to do then its probably isn't ready. To test out whether he's ready, take him outside and place him on the ground in an area that's safe from predators. Leave the bird to its own devices for 20 minutes, if nothing happens bring it back indoors and try again another day. If you're going to release it, make sure the baby can eat on its own. You also need to be sure that it is not imprinted on you. If the bird is imprinted on you, then it cannot be released into the wild. It needs to continue as a pet.
A:
Put the baby bird in a cage when it begins hopping. Give the bird more and more time outdoors. Make sure the bird is ready for release.
