People make first impressions not only by what you say, but by what you wear. It is often said that interviewers gauge their candidates very early and hence dressing up will help in your cause. Make sure you look exceptionally nice. Pressed pants, (not jeans!) and a nice shirt will make your interviewer realize that you take this seriously.  Loud and obnoxious hair colors are not considered "professional". Unless you already know the person interviewing you, don't get judged by your hair dye choices. While all your friends may adore your bright blue hair streak, it's not appreciated in most work areas. Pop a wig on, if needs must. Dressing aptly reflect that you are interested in taking up the job.

Summary: Dress appropriately.


Double service courts are wider, but shorter than single service courts. The basic court lines for badminton doubles are:  The center line. This is the line that runs perpendicular to the net and runs down the middle of each side. It separates the two service boxes. The doubles side lines. These are the outermost lines that run perpendicular to the net. The short service line. This is the line closest to the net, and runs parallel to the net. The line covers the width of the court. The doubles long service line. This is the second to last line near the back of the court. It is parallel to the net, and spans the width of the court. An attacking formation is the ideal formation for you and your badminton teammate. An attacking formation is when one player is in the front of the court (usually the server assumes this position), and one player is in the back of the court, i.e., the defensive player. The defensive player usually stands right behind the setter.  The setter, i.e., the front player, secures the net position by forcing their opponent to lift the ball. They also intercept a short defense or shot with a smash. The defensive player, i.e., the back player, usually fires powerful shots, like smashes, from the back of the court. A defensive formation is when both players stand side by side covering their respective sides. It is the weaker formation of the two. It usually occurs when you or your teammate execute a high lift or high clear, which is a weak return. A high lift or high clear sets your opponents up to smash or net the ball, and thus, win a rally.

Summary: Familiarize yourself with the court lines. Get into an attacking formation. Assume a defensive formation.


Put your sheets, pillowcases, and blankets through the wash once a week. Wash them in water that is at least 130 °F (54 °C). Cooler temperatures will not kill off the mites.  If you own bedding that cannot be washed hot, put it in the dryer for 15 minutes at 130 °F (54 °C) or higher to kill the mites. Dry your bed linen in the dryer. Dust and pollen land on line-dried sheets. Clean comforters and pillows 2-4 times a year. Buy dust-proof, or "allergen-impermeable," covers that zip to completely seal your pillows and mattress. Opt for mattress covers that will encompass your entire bed, including your box spring. Get covers for your pillows and for your comforter as well. Clean your covers as specified by the manufacturer.  Covers made of non-porous fabrics such as vinyl or plastic tend to be cheaper, and are highly effective. However, they are likely to make your bed feel hot and stuffy. For an effective and breathable option, consider a microfiber polyester cover, a cotton cover with a laminated nylon layer, or even a very tightly woven cotton cover with a high thread count. If you have had the same pillows and mattress ever since you could remember, it's time to dispose of them. Replace your pillows every 5 years, and your mattress every 10 years.  Get rid of your mattress by trashing it or recycling it. To recycle your mattress, contact the manufacturer for help, or get in touch with your local recycling center. If your mattress and pillows are still in good shape, consider giving them to someone you know who isn't allergic to dust mites. Remember, dust mites are only a problem for people who are allergic to them. Latex pillows and mattresses are inhospitable to dust mites. Latex can be expensive, and not everyone finds it comfortable, so be sure to spend time testing it out in the store before you bring it home. If you don't like latex pillows, opt for wool or silk pillows, as these are less friendly to dust mites than cotton and down. Stuffed animals, decorative pillows and other fabric objects can become infested with dust mites. Launder what you have in hot water. Store these objects in another room, if possible, as any fabric in your room is liable to affect your allergy.
Summary: Wash your bedding with hot water weekly. Cover your mattress and bedding with dust-proof cases. Get rid of old bedding. Replace your old bedding with hypoallergenic options. Remove any excess objects from your bed.
