Summarize the following:
If you apply for a work-from-home advisor position, you'll be a member of AppleCare (Apple's customer service team). Your job will be to give customers advice on Apple software, hardware, services, and accessories over the phone or in a chat window. You don't have to have extensive Mac experience, but you should have some experience troubleshooting other operating systems, such as Windows. It's helpful, but not necessary, to have specific experience solving Mac problems. Before you officially begin work as an At-Home Advisor, you'll receive 5-7 weeks of specialized training on how to address customer concerns. To become an AppleCare At-Home Advisor, you will need to have a clean, quiet desk space where you will be capable of focusing for the duration of a typical 8-hour work day. If you are hired, Apple will provide you with a company iMac and a headset, so don't worry if you don't already have a Mac. Whether or not you have a computer, you will be expected to have an internet speed of 10 MB/s for downloading and 1 MB/s for uploading. The application process for becoming an at-home advisor is about 1-2 months long, but it begins with an online application, much like retail and corporate positions. Investigate available positions on this webpage: https://www.apple.com/jobs/us/aha.html. Then, fill out an application for the one that suits you best. In your application, you'll be expected to answer some basic interview questions, such as why you want to work for Apple and what qualities you would bring to the position. You may also be asked to answer a few straightforward technical questions. If the hiring team thinks you're a suitable candidate, you'll be invited to join in a video interview that's about an hour to an hour and a half long. The main purpose of this interview is to gauge your technical abilities and problem-solving skills. You may encounter role-play situations in which you might have to respond to an interviewer pretending to be a customer with a specific problem. If you have limited experience with these kinds of interviews, you may want to practice answering basic tech support questions with a friend, perhaps even over Skype or another video chat platform. If your video interview goes well, a representative from Apple will inform you that you've been hired, and provide you with the details of your role. Then, you will be invited to begin training, which consists of an exhaustive 5-7 week course that you'll take from your at-home office. However, what you don't learn until you're “hired” is that you must hit performance benchmarks on tests that are given at the end of each week of training, or risk losing your brand-new job. If you pay attention and dedicate yourself to your training, you'll pass these tests and begin working in earnest. Trainers also use a number of strategies to ensure that you're engaged with training throughout the workday. They deliver regular prompts that you must respond to in 30 seconds, and also may call for a group video chat at any time. Stay at your desk, and you won't receive an awkward phone call asking why you didn't respond to messages or join in the video chat.

summary: Have prior troubleshooting experience with any operating system. Set up a productive workspace – but don't worry about owning an Apple computer. Submit your application online. Be comfortable with and prepared for a video interview. Stay engaged and work hard during training.

If you're unsure about which part is the battery, then check your owner’s manual. Some vehicles have their battery in the trunk, under or behind an access panel. If the post is not covered, place a towel or other clean rag over the positive post. This will help you to avoid accidentally creating sparks by coming into contact with the positive terminal. The nut will be located to the left of the terminal. If needed, pry the terminal open with a screwdriver, or gently wiggle the connector until it loosens. Loosen the nut that holds the terminal onto the positive post by using a socket wrench. Although the negative terminal has been removed, still be careful to ensure the wrench used does not contact any other metal. If needed, pry the terminal open with a screwdriver or wiggle the connector to loosen the terminal.

summary: Open the hood of the car and use the support bar to prop it open. Locate the battery within the engine compartment. Check the positive post to be sure that the cover is on. Loosen the nut that holds the terminal onto the negative post using a socket wrench. Lift the terminal off the negative battery post. Remove the cover from the positive post. Lift the terminal off the positive post.

Search the web for resources for digital memory books and scrapbooking. You have a couple general options when it comes to digital memory books:  Websites that allow you to put together your memory book for display online. These sites act as aggregators where you can add and arrange digital content into virtual albums. Some of these websites focus only on pictures and their captions, while others allow you to also share stand-alone text, videos, audio, and URLs. You can either upload your own content or add content already on the web to your digital memory book. Programs, templates, and websites for building a more traditional memory book which may be published later as physical hard copies. These will allow you to select a size and format for your memory book and arrange pictures and text onto each page just as you would a traditional memory book. They are often paired with an integrated print service that will allow you to order a printed, professionally-bound copy of your book. Even if you decide to keep your book digital, these services can be used to create shareable files. Scan or download all elements you plan on including in your digital scrapbook. Make sure to optimize your content for your platform of choice.  If you intend on printing out your book, remember to scan and save your images and pages at 300 DPI (dots per inch) at minimum. Save as a TIFF for perfect image quality. If you intend to keep your book entirely digital or publish on the web, compressing images to lower their file size is likely appropriate. JPEGs are generally good for photos but often introduce artifacts. GIFs are more appropriate for text or simple art but are limited to 256 colors and don't work well with photos. PNG-formatted images can be of good enough quality for print while not being too big for the web. With modern high speed Internet and large hard drives able to handle larger files, this format is becoming more common. Some digital memory book programs have their own built-in image editors. However, you will likely need to touch up your pictures with an image editor before importing them. Adjust contrast and brightness and correct colors as necessary. Crop your pictures digitally just as you would with scissors. Although not entirely necessary, choosing and sticking to a font (or set of fonts) and color scheme for use throughout your book will give it a much more professional look. You can use text with multiple fonts, colors, and sizes in the same project as long as long as each is used for a different purpose. For example, you could use large all caps purple lettering for titles with smaller black text for your captions. Pick colors that match your theme. For example, a memory book of your college years may use your school's colors. If you're using a template, allow it or your software to guide you through the process, adding text and pictures where necessary. If you are creating your memory book free-form, it will be up to you to decide how each page should look. Just remember that memory books should include both pictures and text. Use picture captions to tell a story. If you want professionally bound digital hard copies of your memory book, either use your software's printing service or find one online that's compatible. You can also choose to do an inexpensive version of this at home by printing out your pages and assembling them in a notebook or with binder clips. You may also choose to store your book onto disks or flash drives to share with others. If the file is small enough, you can even simply email the file out. If you're using an online scrapbooking tool, make sure your privacy settings allow it to be viewable and share the link to you page.
summary: Find a template or program you like. Ready your content. Pick a consistent style. Design your memory book. Share your memory book.
