Article: Learn about the music scene, the party scene, the food scene – anything that you think would enhance your quality of life. Try to grasp the cultural idiosyncrasies that make each place unique. Read about the ratio of younger people to older people, and try to see the trends in why people are moving to a particular place.  Perhaps your favorite band or a beloved author hails from a certain city. Maybe you've heard that a city has a notoriously active and outdoorsy populace. Living around others who are in the same socioeconomic bracket can be more comfortable than living among people who make considerably more or less than yourself. Whether you will be renting or owning a home in your new area, try consulting with a real estate agent to get a better idea of the neighborhood. It is important to make an informed and practical decision, but you should also find a reason to be enthused about the place you're going to live. Create a mental image of what life would be like here, and then evaluate whether that life is something you want. Determine whether you want to live somewhere hot, cold, wet, dry – near the coast or in the mountains. Basic research on a city or region should give you a good idea of the weather patterns. Consider the effects that a different climate (say, a very rainy place, or somewhere that freezes over in the winter) will have upon your lifestyle and your goals. Consider the temperature, the average precipitation, the air pollution, and the seasonal flux.   Some people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which is a cyclical depression pattern related to the changing of the seasons. People often find themselves most down in the winter or the rainy season, when the skies are cold and overcast.  If you are unsure of the climate in a particular area, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has excellent data on everything from temperature to air pollution. This can also help swing your decision, although it may not be the most weighty concern. Some areas face a high risk of hurricanes and tornadoes, while other areas get a lot of earthquakes. Some areas are prone to drought, and others to mighty storms. Inform yourself of the danger so that you can make a conscious choice.

Article: Asking about open positions in person is a little different than asking in writing. You won’t have time to revise what you say, so you should prepare ahead of time. Practice what you’ll say, including your education level, experience, and why you’re interested in that company. You might not get an interview right away, but if you have this information prepared, it can go a long way toward impressing a hiring manager. You should dress for these types of encounters the same way you would if you were going in for an interview. The first impression is the most important, and you want the hiring manager to take you seriously. It also shows that you’d reflect well on their company, since you dressed appropriately just to ask if there are any openings. Hiring managers are usually not out on the floor of businesses or stores. Ask the nearest employee—or the receptionist if there is one—if you could speak to the hiring manager. If they ask why, explain that you’re interested in any open positions at the company. If the hiring manager isn’t available, politely inquire when would be a better time to return to speak to them. In some cases, you may be able to procure an application from the employee you speak to. When the hiring manager comes out, act professionally. This means shaking hands, making eye contact, and being polite. Explain who you are, and why you’re there. The hiring manager may ask for your resume after they meet you. You should have at least one copy with you. If the hiring manager says there are no current openings, you can ask if you can leave your resume for future consideration. Carry your resume in a wrinkle-proof, waterproof case. Avoid handing over a resume that is folded, creased, wrinkled, or damp, as this makes a poor impression.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Prepare what you’ll say. Dress appropriately. Ask for the hiring manager. Shake hands. Bring your resume.
Article: It can often be easy to slide back into kid-oriented instruction styles during swimming lessons with adults. But remember that your adult students may already be anxious or uncomfortable. The last thing they need is to be treated like a child on top of everything else.  Praise them when they deserve it, kindly explain how they can improve what they're doing, and always address them with respect and consideration. Give your students time to understand, to ask questions, and to learn at their own pace. Each student learns differently and reacts to various teaching styles differently. Observe your students and see how they seem to learn the best. Then, tailor your instruction to fit each student. For example, some learn by watching someone else do the thing, while others learn by doing and receiving feedback. Don't focus on what the adult swimmer is doing wrong. Instead, encourage them by telling them what they are doing right and providing tips on how to improve what they are already doing. If the student is struggling with a particular stroke, try saying something like, “Your side-to-side head motions are great! Now let's focus on trying to keep your arms straight all the way through the stroke.”

Speak to them like adults. Adjust your teaching style. Stay positive.
