Problem: Article: Once you've decided what type(s) of survey(s) you'll be using, you want to give thought to how you'll give all your respondents the questions. The internet has made online questionnaires very simple to design and send. Services like Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, and others offer surveys that are easy to make and free. If you are going to distribute telephone surveys or want to conduct face-to-face surveys, expect to shell out money. The data that you gather is usually more representative, but it comes at a price. You can often hire professional contractors to conduct the survey for you. Including postage on a mail survey makes the return of the survey much more likely. Distributing the survey at inconvenient times will discourage participation. A group kept after work or at the end of a long day may give you information slanted by a fatigue or resentment. If your data didn't come to you bundled in a single location, now might be the time to gather it. Excel is a great tool for just this. Use excel to run formulas, create charts, and analyze the data. In short, figure out what the respondents had to say. Now ask yourself why. Why are your employees unhappy, for example? The answer might have be embedded inside some of your answers. If it's not, you might be able to create a new survey to help you answer those burning questions. Then, when you've figured out the why my employees are unhappy because they aren't getting enough perks you can implement and iterate on your new strategy.
Summary: Find a way to distribute your survey. Make the return of the information as easy as possible. Analyze the results of the survey. Develop your learnings and implement them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are serious about Olympic-level figure skating, you should start training as a child. Some Olympic-level skaters (such as Johnny Weir) started as late as their early teenage years, but this is rare. Many figure skaters start around 5 years old. However, there are successful figure skaters who began in the 7-12 age range. If you're willing to work to catch up to your peers if you need to, then don't be discouraged by your age. Find an ice skating rink in your area where you can practice figure skating regularly. You will want to find a rink nearby. Elite skaters spend 3-5 hours on the ice, and about 2-3 hours off the ice, nearly every day. If you are serious about becoming an Olympic - bound athlete you also need to consider the resources that each rink offers. Does the rink host any competitions or shows that could give you exposure? Do other higher-level skaters already train there? Sometimes a close by rink might not be able to let you reach your full potential. Firstly, find a coach and take lessons. Plan for 1-2 private lessons per day. It's okay to start with group lessons, but find a coach who is available to teach you multiple times per day, such as before and after school. Most Olympic skaters also have more than one coach. One for expression and the performance aspect and another for skills and jumping, depending on the level. Find a choreographer. You will need someone who is familiar with all the rules of skating and what elements would be allowed, as well as what elements you are good at. A good program can win almost by itself and a good choreographer can insure this. Find an off ice athletics pro/teacher as well. This person will be skilled in yoga and personal training and will be able to lead you in activities/drills to improve your on ice skating. Find a manager. This person will help organize all the paperwork and other things needed to compete. This person will keep track of your schedule and when the next competitions are as well as deadlines for entry forms. They can also help organize press and other media if you become famous. There are singles competitions, pair skating, and ice dancing. Ice dancing is based on precise steps and interpreting rhythm. If you have good edges, turns, and musical ability, this may be for you! Ice dancing is now opening up as a solo competition as well but only pairs ice dancing is allowed in the Olympics. If you want to enter pair competitions, notify your head coach and set up tryouts for a partner. If you know you want to skate pairs or ice dance find a partner as soon as you can. Unfortunately guys are rare in this sport which makes them very valuable but also puts a lot of pressure on a girl to find a partner. Typically competitive figure skaters practice six days a week. To make it to the Olympics, you will have to practice a lot! Plan with your coach for rest days, which are equally important. Once you're ready to compete beyond the level of basic skills, you should become a member of an official figure skating club. Find the official figure skating organization with qualifying competitions in your region and join! Consider entering a relevant program. Camps and other programs are designed to assist developing and existing figure skaters with honing their craft. To be a skater in the Olympic Games, you must qualify for the Olympic team. You must place first, second or third in your country's national championships to qualify. There have been exceptions when the National Figure Skating Board of a country has decided to send a skater that did not make the podium, as the United States did when they sent Ashley Wagner (fourth place overall) over Mirai Nagasu(third place overall) to the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. Start at a local level first and work your way up as you build upon your experience. The order normally goes; district, regional, sectional, national.

SUMMARY: Start early. Choose a rink. Assemble a team of adults and professionals to help you. Decide what type of figure skating you are interested in. Practice. Join a club. Compete.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most application forms will offer all of the important information on how the audition process will work. Look for any statements about dress codes, essential supplies, rules, and prerequisites. Be sure to follow every rule listed on your application to the best of your ability. Reach out to a choreographer or staff member if you're unsure about anything listed on the application, or would like more clarification. There may occasionally be requirements that aren't listed on the application. Ask if you will need to bring any extra documentation, such as a dance resume or photos. Some audition staff will require you to send your information as part of your initial application, especially if the audition is private. Others will want you to bring your own information directly to the audition. Some auditions will require a dance resume as part of your audition package. Write one out if you do not have one already. A dance resume should list your professional experience, education and credentials, and outstanding achievements. You should also include your email address, phone number, and name so the staff can reach out to you after the audition. You may also want to attach a dance photo. The staff may request a dance photo from all auditioners, especially if the audition is open to everyone. Most dance shots are of the dancer in action, posing in a way that best shows off their form and technique. The audition staff can refer to this photo as they decide on callbacks. Load up a backpack or tote bag with a few essentials, such as water bottles, a spare pair of dance shoes, elastic hair bands, and basic first aid supplies. These items will then be readily available to you on the off chance you need them.
Summary:
Review your audition application thoroughly. Ask the audition staff about their rules if you're confused. Compose your dance resume. Pack a bag of supplies.
