Q: During the interview, smile and look the interviewer in the eye, wait to sit down until the interviewer asks you, don't slouch, and avoid nervous actions. Having a positive attitude is expressed through your body language as well as what you say, so pay attention to this during the interview. The initial stages of the interview are crucial and the impression you make in the first twenty minutes count for a lot. The interview is a conservation, not you giving a monologue. The interviewers won’t be impressed if you don’t show that you can listen intently and take it what you are being told. Your interviewer is giving you information so you need to be alive to that to be sure you don’t miss anything important. Part of communicating well, is listening well. Listening well will also help to get a good picture of the culture of the place you are interviewing for. When you are being asked a question, it’s important that you take in the content of the question and answer it directly. If you are being asked if you have a particular skill or experience then you should provide some clear evidence of this with an example. If you don’t give a specific example, then not only are you only part answering the question, but you are also missing a great opportunity to present your skills and achievements in the clearest possible way.  For example, if you are asked about your organisational skills, you might say that you are highly organised but follow this up by describing an event you organised in the past. If you are asked about meeting deadlines, you could reference the college or school assignments which you always turned in on time. Or if you are asked about the ability to handle competing priorities, you can talk about juggling work and study. If you can use evidence from outside work and education, you will also present a more rounded picture of yourself and your outside interests. Be professional, but relaxed and confident throughout the interview. If you pay close attention to the interviewers you will see the style and tone they use and you can try to adapt to that and show that you can work well in such an environment. The language and tone you use is vital so you need to be aware of leaving negative soundbites in the minds of the interviewers. This can occur if you are asked a question about something that you do not have direct experience of. Of course, you should never give a false impression of your abilities or experience, but how you frame a negative answer is very important.  Instead of just saying ‘no’, change the emphasis to a positive by highlighting other things you have done which are relevant, while indicating that you are keen to develop in this area. For example, if you are asked if you have ever organised an event at work, don’t say ‘no, never’, but say something like, ‘I have not been the lead in organising events, but I have been part of a team who did this and learnt a lot from it’. You could also give an example of something you have organised outside of work, like a sports tournament or charity event. Be positive, and show how you want to develop your skills and experience. When you are talking in the interview keep in mind that you are trying to give an overview of your career progression so far, and your aspirations for the future. We learn in different ways, and your own personal experience has contributed to your personal and professional development. Don’t get carried away, veer off topic and give a monologue of your life story, but some personal information that explains how you have arrived at where you are can make your interview memorable, and contextualise your CV. At the end of the interview, the interviewers will normally turn to you and ask if you have any questions for them. An important part of interviewing is asking good questions here, which demonstrate your enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and ability to take on board the information you gained through the interview. You should ask questions both about the employer and about the job. Some good examples of questions to ask are:  What kind of training and career development opportunities to you offer? What are your favourite and least favourite parts of the job? How would you describe the work culture here? How do you envisage the company’s growth and development in the next five years? Do you have any doubts about my suitability for the role?
A: Have positive body language. Listen. Really answer the questions you are asked, and use examples as evidence. Strike the right tone. Avoid using negative language. Tell a story of your progression and development. Ask questions.

Q: Your kidneys may suddenly become diseased or can become diseased because another condition causes damage. For example, high blood pressure and diabetes can damage your kidneys. If the damage is severe enough, you may develop chronic kidney failure. This usually takes place over the course of several months or years. You might develop primary kidney disease if your the nephrons in your kidneys lose their ability to filter blood. Other kidney problems (like kidney stones, infection, or trauma) can damage the nephrons. Since chronic kidney disease takes time to develop, you may not notice symptoms until you already have advanced kidney disease. Watch for these symptoms of chronic kidney disease:  Increased or decreased frequency of urination Fatigue Nausea Itching and dry skin anywhere on the body Obvious blood in the urine or dark, foamy urine Muscle cramps and muscle twitches Puffiness or swelling around the eyes, feet and/or ankles Confusion Difficulty breathing, concentrating, or sleeping Decreased appetite Weakness If you have a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease, you may have a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease. African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans also have higher risk of kidney disease. Since some kidney diseases also have a genetic component, family history of kidney disease can mean that you're also at a higher risk. Also, talk to your doctor about all the medications you're taking, as some can adversely affect the kidneys, especially with prolonged use. If you're over 60 years old, you also have an increased risk of kidney disease. It's easy to assume that other conditions could be causing your symptoms, so if you're experiencing any symptoms you should get a medical examination to determine the exact cause. Yearly physicals are important for catching kidney disease (even before symptoms present themselves). It's also a good idea to talk with your doctor about your family history and any concerns you have about your kidney function. Your doctor will do a physical exam and order blood, urine, and imaging tests. The imaging tests can show your doctor if there are any kidney abnormalities. The blood and urine tests may reveal if your kidneys are having trouble filtering waste, protein, or nitrogen from your blood.  Your doctor may also test how well the nephrons in your kidneys are working by checking the Glomerular Filtration Rate or GFR.  Your doctor also might order a biopsy of the kidneys to determine the cause or the extent of kidney disease. Once your doctor has determined the cause of your kidney disease, you'll be treated for the other condition. For example, if a bacterial infection is causing your symptoms, you'll get antibiotics. But, since kidney disease is chronic, your doctor may only be able to treat complications. In severe cases like kidney failure, kidney dialysis or transplants are options.  To treat complications of CKD, you may be prescribed medications to treat high-blood pressure, treat anemia, lower your cholesterol, relieve swelling, and protect your bones. Your doctor might also order you to avoid certain medications, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or other NSAIDs.
A:
Understand chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recognize symptoms of chronic kidney disease. Consider your risk factors. Know when to get medical attention. Get a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. Follow your doctor's treatment plan.
