Summarize the following:
Don’t use this time to gossip or spread false narratives about the situation. Only try to find the truth of what’s happening and determine what the cause of the fight is. It’s important to know why she isn’t talking to you. This knowledge will help you know how to approach the situation in a positive way. By stepping out of your own mindset and understanding things from her point of view, you can come to a closer understanding of why what’s happening is happening. Ask yourself things like “How have I acted around her recently?” and “When was the last time I thought of of her needs before thinking of my own?” Have someone play the part of the girl and have them ask questions about the situation. Then you will be ready to answer her when you talk and this will help your confidence so that you can remain cool under pressure. Do this with a trusted family member or friend. It would not be advisable to do this with someone who is her friend. Try to involve someone who only, at the most, knows her through you. You don’t want to challenge the loyalty of her friends. Pride can destroy relationships. Even if you’re not at fault, assuming a posture of humility will show her that you care about the connection to her enough to sacrifice for it. The sign that you have good partner is if she is able to do the same thing in return so that you can both figure out what’s wrong. Vulnerability is key to fixing relationships. Sitting tight and letting her process emotions at her own pace shows that you are mature and respect her as an individual. If you become pushy and try to force the conversation before she’s ready, she will interpret this as selfishness. Don’t imagine all the things that could be going wrong; she probably just needs some time to herself.

summary: Ask friends and family for their honest opinion. Try seeing things from her perspective. Practice having the conversation with others. Hold off on assuming you’re right. Be patient.

Once you (or the HR department or hiring manager) have selected a candidate to fill the job opening, send a rejection email to non-interviewed candidates as soon as possible. This will keep the candidates from developing false hopes and allow them to begin searching for another job. Ideally, send a rejection email on the next business day after you’ve made a hiring decision. Since the candidate never came in for a face-to-face interview, the message can be fairly brief. Open with the candidate’s full name. Then, write something like, “Thank you for your application for the position of Creative Director at ABC Advertising. While we were impressed by your resume, we ultimately offered a different candidate the position. We wish you the best of luck in your career.” Sign your name at the bottom of the email, and send it once you’ve checked for any errors. Finding out that their job application has been rejected can be tough for applicants. However, for the sake of professionalism, don’t apologize or act as if you disagree with the company’s hiring decision. Never let on if there were any differences of opinion regarding hiring the individual. For example, don’t write write, “Although I would’ve loved to hire you, our hiring manager had other ideas.” If the individual replies to your email and wants to know what strengths the hired candidate possessed that they didn’t, reply with another 3-4 sentence email. Make your email succinct and objective so you won’t get involved in a back-and-forth email exchange. For example, write something like, “While we found your resume compelling, it came down to an issue of work history. You had several multi-year gaps in your employment history that inclined us to hire a different individual.”

summary: Email the individual as soon as you’ve hired a different candidate. Draft an email that’s no longer than 3-4 sentences. Do not apologize for not hiring the candidate in the email. Offer a brief reply if a candidate writes back with questions.

As you prepare for your trip, be sure to research what types of crimes occur at your destination. In many European cities, for example, pickpocketing is a problem, while some cities in South America and Asia may have issues with robberies. Be aware of what types of crime occur at your travel destination so you can stay safe and protect your belongings.  Refer to your favorite travel guide, travel blog, or travel website to see what types of crimes occur in the city or country you are traveling to. Ask a friend or relative who has visited that country what their experience was like. Before you go on your trip, check your government’s travel website to see if there are any alerts or travel warnings for that area. These alerts will let you know if there is an increase in crime, violence, theft, or civil unrest in that area. Travel insurance is a worthwhile investment for every traveler. If your research indicates that the area you are visiting has a high theft or crime rate, make sure your policy has theft coverage.

It typically costs between 4% and 8% of your total trip cost. You can receive a free quote online from a variety of insurance companies, including Global Travel Insurance, Travelex, and Travel Guard.
