Problem: Article: This could mean anything-- do you go to the same school? Are you neighbours? In virtually every circumstance, there are plenty of opportunities to get on that person's radar. A great start is to put yourself in his general area. Find out what events he'll be attending, or where he eats lunch. The more you're around him, the more opportunities you'll have to interact with one another. The universal gesture of kindness, there is nothing so simple and profoundly effective in winning your crush as a smile.  Whenever you see her, make sure to flash her a smile! While it might be hard if you're shy, you should find it gets easier very quickly. The reaction will almost certainly be positive. If, for whatever reason, she doesn't smile back, don't worry about it! There could be a number of reasons she didn't reciprocate the gesture. You may have caught her off guard; it's also possible that she's simply shy. Interpreting her actions as a sign she's uninterested in you should only be a last resort. It sounds simple, but you might be surprised how many people tend to overlook this easy, though crucial step. Once you're in his vicinity, there should be plenty of opportunities to say hello. Don't feel self-conscious in doing this; very seldom does anyone respond negatively to a simple act of attention and positive feeling. There are a virtually infinite number of ways you can do this. Look to your surroundings and circumstances for something general to talk about. For example:  If you've got a class together: "Hey, would I be able to share notes with you? I want to see if I missed anything." If you're at a library/theater: "Any books or movies you could recommend me?" If you're at a sports game: "Hey! Which team are you part of/rooting for?" At a party: "Hey! How did you hear about this party?" A crucial, common mistake to make is to be too modest about your feelings. If you don't show signs of attraction, she might not get the impression you are interested in her. Although you want to make sure not to get direct with it quite yet, there are plenty of things you can do to show interest. If you are relaxed enough, chances are you're exhibiting some of these traits already.  If you're a girl: Twirling your hair while talking to him. If you're a guy: Keeping a strong posture around her. Keeping your feet pointing in his direction. Maintaining eye contact and smiling at her. Making light bodily contact, like touching his arm or shoulder. Soon enough, you'll need to get your relation at a more substantive point where you can move past icebreakers and learn about her in greater depth. While the traditional thing to do in the past was for one party to ask the other on a date, there are countless options for you to pursue in this respect:  Although it sounds impersonal, talking online is a great, non-committal way to get to know someone pretty effectively. Things some people might have trouble discussing in person are much more easily divulged online. If you go to school together, you might ask: "Want to eat lunch together sometime?" Again, this is a casual, easygoing way to get to know someone a lot better. While you may feel obliged to wait for your crush to ask you out on a date, hinging upon social norms is a waste of time. If you're confident enough in your feelings, asking him to go out with you some night is a great way to demonstrate your confidence and make progress with impressing your crush.
Summary: Seek out opportunities to be around him. Smile! Introduce yourself by saying "Hi". Break the ice with her. Make your attraction apparent to your crush. Set up an opportunity for deeper interaction.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The headline should be unique and attention-grabbing (but professional) and should highlight what you feel are your strongest assets. For example, a good headline would read something like, "Compulsively clean pet lover seeking an opportunity to house sit in Santa Barbara." Briefly describe what attracts you to the idea of house sitting as well as what qualities you have that make you think you would be a good fit for the job. Your examples might be that you are trying to save up for college, that you are looking for opportunities to travel, or even something specific such as “I would like a place to stay while I’m visiting my grandmother in Charlotte, NC this fall.” Even if you've never been a house sitter, chances are you've been in situations that required the skills of a sitter. For example, if you babysat for the neighborhood children as a teenager, walked dogs for extra cash, or cared for a sick grandmother in her home, you have the experience to list in your profile. A background screen (or background check) is a detailed look into your history, and it may cover any criminal activity, employment history, credit history, education, and more. Being able to provide a homeowner with a detailed, professional background check can help give them peace of mind that you are who you say you are. If you have past house sitting experience, provide references from the previous homeowners. If you’re just getting started, consider asking your landlord, previous employers, teachers, family friends or commendable figures in your life, such as policeman, judge or doctor  to write a letter vouching for your character, trustworthiness, and responsibility.

SUMMARY: Start your resume with a strong headline. Explain why you want to be a house sitter. Give details about past experiences you’ve had. Do a background screen. Gather references.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you go to an interview, be sure that you remember what you wrote in your application and the details of the job listing.  It's also a good idea to do a bit of research on the company you are applying at. What is their basic business model and what makes the company unique? Are there any guiding missions of the company? These types of questions can usually be answered by some quick internet research, but this kind of information can really illustrate your interest and dedication if brought up during an interview. Brainstorm and write out any aspects of your personality or experiences in your life that may be pertinent to bring up during the job interview. These are things that you probably did not list in your resume but are important to get across to your possible employer. For example, this could include your personal qualities and work ethic. An interview usually has two types of questions, technical questions and HR questions. Technical questions gauge whether you know how to do the job you are applying for, and HR questions are designed to see if you are a team player. You will need to be able to answer both types of questions with confidence.  Some examples of HR questions are: Where do you see yourself in 10 years? How do you handle criticism?  How well do you work on a team? When asked, "How much money do you want to make?" you can provide your current salary. Or, you can say, "I am open" or ask, "What is the range of pay for this job?" When asked, "What don't you like about your current job?" if you answer anything negative, even though it might be true, it will make you look like a negative employee. When asked, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" if you don't answer with a position slightly above your job title, it will look like you don't really have interest in the job. You could even practice your interview skills by organizing a mock interview. If you're interviewing but not getting offers, then you have not yet warmed up to the interview process.  It takes 3 to 5 interviews to get warmed up and get offers. While the appropriate attire will vary, depending on the job you are applying for and the company you are applying at, your appearance should always be neat and clean when interviewing for any job. Make sure that in addition to being dressed nicely, with professional clothes that are neat and clean, that you have also done some personal grooming before your interview. Small issues, such as body odor or messy hair, while not necessarily a deal breaker, can be a huge distraction for the people interviewing you. The goal is for your personality and experience to shine, so don't sidetrack those interviewing you with other things.
Summary:
Review all your application materials and any job listing information. Practice possible interview questions. Have a professional appearance when going to your interview.
