Problem: Article: Just as most jobs are now advertised online, most cover letters are submitted by email. If you are applying via letter, it is most likely for a company that is more traditional or a position that is higher ranking. If you do not have letterhead, it is ok to skip this step. If you are currently employed as a consultant or if you are applying for a contract, you should have letterhead made.  This should follow the standard format of a formal letter. Before you start the letter with “Dear Hiring Manager:” look at the email, company website and job posting to see if they contain the name of the person in charge of hiring.  This attention to detail and personalization in your salutation can make a big difference next to hundreds of cover letters that say “To Whom it May Concern:” If you cannot find the name of the person, address it “Dear Department Head” with the name of the department to which you are applying.” If you cannot find the name of the department, try “Dear Director” or “Dear Hiring Manager.”   Use LinkedIn to find the hiring manager’s name. This is the preferred opener for all cover letters, because it establishes a connection to the company.  For example, “John Smith recommended that I get in touch with you about the general manager position at EnviroRent.” If you do not know anyone at the company, do some research to establish a distinctive first line. Your next choice can be admiring a recent lecture, job or initiative the company did that attracted you. If you have a strong alumni association, use it to get in touch with someone, and references someone, who attended your college. After your intro sentences, your next goal is to summarize your career in 1 to 2 sentences. Next, include a paragraph with your accomplishments and a paragraph explaining how you plan to be in touch. Include your contact information below your signature.
Summary: Ensure you are being asked to submit by mail. Write your cover letter on professional letterhead, if you have it. Date the cover letter at the top right or top left of the page. Include the company’s department and address next. Research the name of the person looking at the resume. Mention the name of a staff member or referral in your opening line. Follow with a standard 4-paragraph cover letter. End with “Sincerely” before your signature.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To cut thin or flexible foam, get out a pair of heavy-duty scissors. You can cut curves or straight lines, but you may want to lightly draw your design on the foam with a permanent marker before you begin cutting. Make long smooth cuts so you don't get choppy edges in the foam. For basic straight cuts, choose a blade with a handle that's comfortable to hold. You could use a utility knife, old kitchen knife, bread knife, or box cutter. Take a white candle and rub it against the blade before you slice through the foam. The wax will make the blade slide smoothly in the foam.  It's best to use these simple blades with soft or thin foam. If the blade begins to catch on the foam, just rub the candle on the blade again. To cut soft or rigid foam that's 1/2-inch (12 mm) thick or less, lay the foam flat on your work surface. Select a metal cookie cutter in the shape you want to cut and press it down evenly through the foam. The cutter should cut completely through the thin foam. You may need to press against the foam to pop the cut piece out. If you're trying to cut through sheets of thin foam, pull out a long strand of dental floss. Place the dental floss on your work surface and lay a sheet of foam down on the floss. Position the sheet so the floss lines up to where you want to make the cut. Hold the foam with one hand and use your other hand to pull the end of the floss towards you. Dental floss works best for straight cuts. If you want to cut through multiple sheets of foam, slice them separately to get clean cuts.

SUMMARY: Use scissors to cut through soft foam. Wax a blade to cut the foam. Cut the foam with cookie cutters. Slice through foam using dental floss.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hold one end of a measuring tape at the far side of your bust. This is where the outside edge of your bra cup is positioned. Place the tape horizontally across the fullest part of your bust until you reach the outside edge of your bust on the other side. Make note of the length; this will be your front bust measurement.  Remember to stand upright, keep the tape measure parallel to the ground, and be sure your elbows are held close to your body. Avoid lifting your arms as this will distort the measurement. To get the most accurate measurement, have someone assist you. The amount you subtract will vary based on your bust size and how tight you want the top to be. It should also incorporate a narrow 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) seam allowance. For a smaller bust or tighter fit, subtract 4 in (10 cm). For a larger bust or looser fit, subtract 2 in (5.1 cm). This number will become the width of the two cups when measured horizontally across the front of your bust. Consider this your bikini top's front width measurement.  For example, if your front bust measurement is 18 in (46 cm) and you have a moderately sized bust, you might decide to subtract 2 1⁄2 in (6.4 cm). Your finished bikini top's front width will be 15 in (38 cm), plus the  1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) seam allowance on both sides. If you prefer to use a wider seam allowance, just add this into your measurement. You can also draw in both the finished line (which is where you'll sew, and indicates the edges of the finished garment) as well as the cut line (which includes the seam allowance) if you wish. This measurement will typically be at least 5 to 7 in (13 to 18 cm) when finished, plus 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) seam allowance. It depends on your bust size and how much coverage you want. If you have a larger bust or desire more coverage, more height will give you fuller coverage. If you have a smaller bust or desire less coverage, go with a lower height measurement. If you're not sure, measure the height of your favorite bra or bikini top for reference. Then, add  1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) for seam allowance around all sides. Place fashion fabric (the material you'll use for the outer part of the bikini) with its right-side facing down onto a flat surface. Use a ruler and a fabric marking pencil or chalk to draw a rectangle onto the wrong side of the fabric. Its dimensions will be your bikini top's front width by height.  For example, if you determined a top length of 15 in (38 cm) and desire 7 in (18 cm) of height, your rectangle will measure 15 by 7 in (38 by 18 cm). When selecting your fashion fabric, the best choice is something that's specifically marketed for use in swimwear, since it will provide the right amount of stretch, water absorption, and colorfastness. Try searching under the performance fabric category of a few online fabric stores to find your favorite print. If your fabric has a stripe or other printed pattern, position your pattern pieces in the correct orientation out so that the design will appear upright once the garment's finished. You wouldn't want sideways zebra stripes or upside-down letters, after all! If there is a particular motif you want visible on the swimsuit, such as a large flower, center your pattern piece around that. Use sharp fabric scissors to achieve a clean line while cutting. Since you're cutting a stretch fabric, be careful not to stretch it out or snag the edges. This piece will become the outer portion of your bikini top.
Summary:
Take your front bust measurement. Subtract 2 to 4 in (5.1 to 10.2 cm) to determine the bikini top's front width. Determine your bikini top's height, based on the coverage you want. Draw a rectangle on your fashion fabric using width and height measurements. Cut out this rectangle with fabric scissors.
