Q: In order to help with your job search, you want to have a resume that clearly highlights your skills and relates them to your current job. You can actually organize the experience section of your resume into different skills. For example, you could list communication skills and then provide examples or when and how you have developed those skills through different work, intern, and volunteer positions.  Always tweak your resume and cover letter to fit the job you are applying for. This will demonstrate to a potential employer that you have taken the time to research and consider the posting. If you're not the strongest writer or you're worried about formatting your resume correctly, ask a friend to help! You can also find resume templates online that will make the process easier for you. Remember to make it scannable in a short amount of time. List things that immediately cause people to think, “This person can probably create value.” Use social media sites, such as LinkedIn to reach out to and meet with people in the industry. You can also network at local community events or job fairs. This network may be able to recommend jobs, help you develop skills, and answer any questions you may have about the industry. Use job sites like Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com, Indeed.com, and SimplyHired.com to begin looking for entry-level job titles. These sites will allow you to search for specific jobs or more generally at career fields, such as teaching or advertising.  Define your search by choosing 0 to 2 years of experience. This will remove jobs that require more experience. Most job search engines will allow you to apply for jobs directly through their site. You should apply to as many jobs as possible, even if you do not have all of the required experience that was listed on the job post. For example, the post may say two to three years of experience is preferred. This likely means that they will consider candidates that do not have exactly two years of experience. In order to be successful in an interview, you should thoroughly research the company. This way you will appear knowledgeable about both the job and company goals and objectives. You should also practice some interview questions with a friend or family member. This will give you an opportunity to speak out loud and determine exactly how you will answer potential questions.  This type of preparation will allow you to appear confident and relaxed in an interview setting. Show that you're confident in the experience you do have but also eager to learn more. Employers want to hire people that are driven to succeed.
A: Create an effective resume. Network with people in the industry. Search through online job sites. Apply to jobs. Practice your interviewing skills.

Q: Avoid using terrycloth towels to dry your hair, as they have loops that can disturb hair cuticles and contribute to frizz. Try gently pressing the water from your hair with a T-shirt or microfiber towel instead. Remember to never wring or rub your hair aggressively. If you have curly hair, it's best to comb through it in the shower after applying conditioner. If your hair is straight, you can comb through it when you get out of the shower. Either way, use a wide-tooth comb, begin at the ends of your hair, and work your way up to the roots. Avoid brushing wet hair, as this can cause breakage. It's best to let your hair air dry rather than using a blow-dryer, especially if you have curly locks. Apply a moisturizing product, like a cream, serum, or oil, then shape your curls as desired. If you have straight hair, simply apply a smoothing product and let your tresses dry on their own. If you do choose to blow-dry your hair, apply a heat-protectant product first. Then, use an ionic, ceramic blow dryer to help combat frizz. Or, used a hooded dryer so the air flows down over the hair shaft.
A: Remove excess water from your hair carefully. Be gentle when detangling your hair. Let your hair air dry.

Q: Many toilet cleaners contain sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite. These two ingredients help to remove stains and grime on porcelain or tile surfaces as well as grout. Though they can be toxic in large amounts, they do work to effectively clean grout. You may look for common brands of toilet cleaner at your local hardware store or in the cleaning aisle at your grocery store. To avoid exposing yourself or others to harmful chemicals, you may opt for a toilet cleaner that is eco-friendly. There are several toilet cleaners on the market that do not contain harmful chemicals. However, they may not be as effective for cleaning grout, or your toilet bowl, if they do not contain chemicals like sodium hydroxide or sodium hypochlorite. Many eco-friendly toilet cleaners are made with plant and mineral-based products. They may also be scented with lemon, mint, or pine, a bonus for making your grout smell less wet or dirty. Though you may opt for toilet cleaner that contains bleach to better clean the grout, using bleach can be toxic to your health and possibly damage the tiling around the grout.  Bleach can also strip the water-repellant materials that are in the grout, leading to damaged grout in the future, especially in showers or bathrooms.  If you do go for a toilet cleaner that contains bleach, make sure you wear rubber gloves, eye protection like safety goggles, and a respirator mask so you are not at risk of inhaling the bleach. You should also wear clothing that you would not mind throwing out, as bleach can damage your clothing.
A: Look for a toilet cleaner that contains sodium hydroxide. Try an eco-friendly toilet cleaner. Use toilet cleaner that contains bleach with caution.

Q: If you haven’t already, take some time to study the basic structure and rules of the show you want to try out for. Having a working knowledge of how the game is played will make you more likely to emerge victorious. It will also allow you to focus on the task at hand without having to stop and think about what you’re doing.  For example, “Mental Samurai” is a hybrid trivia-physical challenge show that gives contestants 5 minutes to answer a dozen increasingly-difficult questions while being rotated 360-degrees at high speeds in a specially-designed capsule.  Newer game shows sometimes put out open calls for contestants for their first broadcasts. In this case, it may be impossible to acquaint yourself with the rules or put together a sound strategy before your appearance. Game shows often use auditions or interviews to identify potential contestants who have what they’re looking for. For competitive shows, your audition may take the form of a short test or mock round of gameplay. In other cases, you may simply be asked a few questions designed to make you think on your feet. Do your best to be ready for whatever the show’s producers throw at you.  Many game shows that choose their contestants from the audience “at random” actually conduct brief interviews with each member of the audience prior to taping.  Auditions usually take place well before taping begins, and may be held somewhere other than where the show is taped. You’ll learn more about the audition process if and when you receive a callback for your contestant application. Ratings are a game show's bread and butter, and producers are always looking for the most interesting, entertaining, or outlandish contestants. Whether you sport a funny costume, sing and dance in the line to get into the venue, or tell jokes that crack up the show's crew and audience members, being as entertaining as possible will help you make more of an impression on the people in charge of selecting participants. Think on your feet and do your best to offer witty, humorous, or amusing responses during your audition. If you can catch your interviewer off guard, you're as good as in. If your application is approved and you pass your audition, you’ll have the chance to be featured as a contestant on your show of choice. The time between the final phase of your audition and your televised appearance could be anywhere from a few weeks to over a year, depending on the show's popularity and the number of other people who qualify.  You’re not guaranteed a callback, even if you successfully make it through your audition. It’s not uncommon for game shows to recruit more contestants than they actually use in case of casting disputes, scheduling conflicts, or cancellations. Be sure to bring a book with you on the day of your taping. You could end up waiting 8-10 hours to be called onto set.
A:
Familiarize yourself with the format of the show. Make it through one or more rounds of auditions. Do something to make yourself stand out from other contestants. Be prepared to wait up to 18 months for a callback.
