Summarize the following:
It is important to clean up stains as soon as possible so they don’t set in. Stubborn stains, such as paint, oil, tar, and marker, can be removed with an acetone-based nail polish remover. You can also use rubbing alcohol to remove these types of stains. Just pour a small amount of nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth and use it to scrub the stain. Repeat if necessary. You can harden substances such as wax or gum by applying ice to them. Then, use a credit card or plastic scraper to gently remove the substance. Avoid using a metal tool to scrape the floor, as it could scratch or damage it. Metal items can leave rust stains on your laminate floors. To remove them, sprinkle table salt (not coarse salt) over the area. Cut a lemon in half and rub 1 half over the salt. If the stain is especially stubborn, you can saturate the area in salt and lemon juice and let it sit overnight. Then, rub a new lemon half over the stain in the morning. Use a damp cloth or paper towel to pick up the salt and remove any remaining lemon juice. If there are scuff marks from shoes covering your laminate floor, don’t fret! It’s super easy to remove them. Just spray a small amount of WD-40 onto the scuff mark, then wipe it away with a cloth or paper towel. Clean the area with baby shampoo or a mixture of vinegar and water after removing the scuff mark so the spot isn’t slippery from the WD-40.

summary: Remove stubborn stains with nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. Use ice and a plastic scraper to remove substances stuck to the floor. Get rid of rust stains with lemon and salt. Remove scuff marks with WD-40.

Even if you were fired, you probably picked up new skills and experiences at your old job. Updating your resume with those things can help you feel like the last job was a positive step in your career. Seeing it this way can help you move past the negative feelings associated with being fired.. You’ve probably built up a good network of people – either personally or on social media sites like LinkedIn. Ask for recommendations or references. After you’ve spent some time reflecting on what you want your next opportunity to look like, ask your network for help finding it. For example, you can send a short email that says “Hi Steve, I’m looking for my next career opportunity, and I’m interested in moving more into sales than marketing. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction since you have so much sales experience!” You can say something like “Dear Kim, I’m applying for a new position with XYZ Management, and given our work history together, I was hoping you’d be willing to write a reference for me.” Make sure you include where the reference letter should go, who it should be addressed to, and when it’s due. You should definitely take a little bit of time to deal with being fired, but get back on the job market as soon as possible. This not only prevents large gaps in your resume, but it can also help you feel like you’ve got control over your life again. It can be tempting to send your resume everywhere in the panic after you’ve been fired. Time might be of the essence, but spend at least some time researching companies in your field before you apply. This helps you use your time wisely and is especially important if you’ve been fired after a long time with one company.

summary: Update your resume. Use your social networks. Keep reference requests short and sweet. Start searching again as soon as you can. Research new companies.
