Problem: Article: Look at job listings in your area and ask around about opportunities. If you’re already a member of a gym, let the administration know that you’re interested in working as a personal trainer. They might just have an opening! Consider working for a gym even if you plan to branch out later. A reputable employer can provide credibility when you’re first starting out.  If you worked at a gym before earning your certification, let your past colleagues know you’re newly certified and looking for work. Working at a gym will give you the chance to learn from other personal trainers and get practice working with a steady stream of new clients. Whether you’re working at a gym or branching out on your own, start building good relationships with prospective and active clients as soon as possible. Think like an entrepreneur to boost your reputation and business. Familiarize yourself with marketing basics and spread the word about what you’re doing.  Personal trainers’ pay is commission-based, so the more clients you have, the better. Get active on social media to promote your work. Post pictures of your studio, and, with their permission, your happy clients. Keep in mind that your gym may require you to sign a non-compete agreement to prevent you from taking clients if you decide to leave. Whether you choose to become a freelancer or open a small business, you’ll be able to set your own rate and keep all the money you earn. You’ll also get to pick the clients you work with. Learn what it takes to  start a small business and follow the regulations in your state. Get personal trainer insurance, which is a legal requirement in many areas, before you start working with clients.  Make sure you understand all the complexities of running a business, such as the ins and outs of insurance, payroll, and taxes. Some personal trainers hold sessions in their homes, where they have a room set up with the proper equipment. If you do this, make sure the setting is clean, safe, and professional. Other personal trainers rent a studio, which they sometimes share with other personal trainers. This could be a more attractive choice if you have a large client list.
Summary: Find a job at a fitness center or gym. Build a client portfolio. Start your own personal training business.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The best indication that a fig is fully ripe is when it falls to the ground. Rinse the figs with cool water to remove dirt and other debris, then pat them dry with a dishcloth or paper towel. Use a paring knife to cut the figs in half from stem to tip on a cutting board. Cutting the figs in half will help them dry more quickly. Put a layer of cheesecloth on top of any wooden or wire rack, such as those intended for cooling or dehydrating. In order to dry properly, the figs need airflow from above and below, so don't use a solid surface like a baking sheet. Place the figs cut-side up on the cheesecloth. Alternatively, you could put whole figs on wooden skewers and hang them in the sun, using clothespins to attach the skewers to branches or to a clothesline. This will protect them from insects as they dry. Tuck the cheesecloth tightly around the drying rack, securing it with tape if necessary, to make sure it won't come loose. If you hung up your figs instead, you won't be able to protect them with the cheesecloth. This method works best when it is very dry and hot outside. Don't place the figs in the shade, or they won't dry as quickly and may spoil before they're properly preserved. You'll need to bring them in each evening so they don't get spoiled by dew. Each morning, turn the figs over so they dry evenly on all sides and then place them back outside in the sunlight. The figs are ready when the outside feels leathery and no juice can be seen on the inside when squeezed. If the figs remain a little sticky, you can finish them in the oven. Tupperware or Ziploc bags are both options for storing your dried figs. They'll last several months in the fridge, or up to 3 years in the freezer.
Summary:
Rinse fully ripe figs. Cut the figs in half. Lay them on a wire or wooden rack covered with cheesecloth. Cover the figs with cheesecloth. Place the rack in full sunlight during the day. Return the figs to the sun for 2 to 3 days. Store the dried figs in airtight containers in the fridge or freezer.
