Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start with the larger view. Address three qualities that make you a fit for the employer's needs. Be specific about your experience. Put the attention on the company. Use what you've learned. Change your interviewer's mind. Think of this question as your elevator pitch.

Answer: As you begin to answer the question, focus on how you match with the company overall. That is, talk about your years of experience and the objective ways that you can talk about how you were valued at your last company. For instance, you could talk about how you were the youngest person in a managerial position at your last company, as it shows the company that you could handle the position. Three achievement-based examples will show that you are uniquely suited to the task. In addition, this approach will give your answer structure instead of letting your ramble through an answer. Use the preparation you did before the interview to answer the questions. Try not to get flustered. Take a deep breath and give a brief but thorough answer. Don't give canned answers. Once you know the facts of why you should be hired, try to approach it specifically, rather than generically. For example, skip a generic answer, such as "An experienced manager will be better for employee morale and company growth." Instead, try an answer like this one: "You should hire me because I have managed a team for 10 years. During my time managing, I have lowered employee turnover and increased productivity by 10 percent." This response lists specific reasons why you're a good fit, matched up to what the company is asking for in the job description. When answering, don't focus on why you want the job or why you think the position would be good for you. Instead, put the attention on what you can give the company. That's what the interviewer wants to hear. For instance, you may be tempted to say, "It's always been my dream to work for an art gallery." Instead, say something to this effect: "I know many people want this position, but I have worked hard to be the best person for this job. From my degree in art history to my extensive internships in art galleries, I have the skill set needed to be useful to you." Follow that statement with some of the skills you have picked up over the years. Take this time to use what you've learned in the interview. Connect your skills to what the company wants. Similarly, use the time to highlight aspects of your skills that the interviewer has overlooked. For instance, maybe you heard that the company is really people-focused. Use the time to highlight your people skills with specific examples from your previous jobs. You could say something such as: "At my previous job, I handled all the service calls, and the numbers showed that customer satisfaction was up during my time there." If the employer thinks you're overqualified, underqualified, or don't the right experience, take this time to reassure the interviewer that you're the right person for the job. For instance, if it's evident the interviewer finds you overqualified, note that you are trying to make a new move in your career, and you're willing to start from the bottom. If the person thinks you're underqualified, highlight other skills you have that would be relevant to the job. If you haven't proven you have enough experience for this position, highlight other experience in your past that is relevant. In fact, you can make almost any experience relevant. Say you worked as a sales clerk at a store in the past. That may not seem relevant to an office job, but it gave you the skills to work diplomatically with a wide range of people. An elevator pitch is a sales pitch that will sell someone on your cause, even in the most limited of time frames. This question is usually asked at the end of the interview and possibly your last appeal to show you are a good fit. Sell yourself as if you have been designed to solve the company's problem. Stay on point. You may be tempted to tell everything you've ever done. However, tailoring it to the company will help you stay on task in addition to keeping the interviewer interested. Make sure your pitch isn't longer than two minutes.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose your fabric. Gather your supplies. Clean your fabric. Follow the package directions. Choose salt or vinegar.

Answer: Rit dye is a union dye, meaning that it's universal and works on cellulose and protein fibers, which most fabrics are made of. While some fabrics, such as those that are bleach damaged or 100% acrylic, won't accept dye, most will. When deciding what you'd like to tie dye with Rit dye, choose: Rayon or nylon Cotton, linen, silk, wool, and ramie Nylon-based plastic Natural materials, like wood, paper, feathers, and cork Fiber blends with at least 60% cotton. Blends will tint evenly but won't fully accept the color of the dye. It's best to get everything together before you start dyeing your fabric so that you don't run the risk of getting dye on yourself or, worse yet, your floor, clothes, or other fabrics. Each method is a little different, requiring different tools, but you will generally need: Plastic bags (preferably bags that seal) Newspaper (to protect your work area) Gloves (to keep dye off your hands) Rubber bands (to make patterns) A large tub plastic tub, a sink, a washing machine, a child's swimming pool, etc. A clear work space Enough dye for your project 1 package of Rit powder for approximately every pound/3 yards of fabric Hot water heat locks in dye Salt, vinegar, or laundry detergent (depending on what fabric you're using) You want to start out with clean fabric. Wash and dry your fabric and ensure that there are no stains. Stains will prevent the fabric from picking up the dye, so look over your fabric for any blemishes and use a stain remover if necessary. You'll thoroughly wet and ring out the fabric again right before you begin dyeing it. The hotter the water that you use, the more vibrant the dye will be. Always follow the package directions when preparing your dye, which should direct you to dissolve one package of Rit powder into two cups of very hot water. You want to make sure that the powder is thoroughly dissolved before you use the dye solution. Just like when dyeing eggs, you want to add a color booster to the dye solution. While this isn't imperative, you'll achieve brighter, more vibrant colors if you thoroughly dissolve a booster in your liquid. What you add will depend entirely on the type of fabric that you're using. 1 cup salt add this to a dye bath if you're dyeing cotton, rayon, ramie, or linen. 1 cup white vinegar add this to a dye bath if you're dyeing nylon, silk, or wool.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a budget but splurge on something special. Get creative with the party location. Use evites or social media to create your guest list. Go with budget decorations. Use everyday place settings. Shop for supplies at warehouse, discount, or thrift stores. Be your own DJ. Focus on your guests above all.

Answer:
If you're throwing a party on limited funds, you may have to cut some things to cover all the basics. Skimp on things like decorations so that you splurge on things that people are more likely to remember, like party favors or entertainment. For example, if have a budget of $300 for the party, but the location costs $150, you might have to stick to just serving snacks instead of a full meal. That way, you can leave money for something fun, like t-shirts that everyone can decorate and take home as a memento. You might worry about the costs of decorating your home for a party, or having enough space for your guests. Don't panic: you have other options. For instance, you could host an afternoon get-together at a park. You could even have everyone meet at a restaurant to celebrate. Some restaurants have rooms you can reserve for private parties. Sometimes these can be expensive, but you could check anyway. You might find that the reservation fee is less than you would spend on preparing for party at home. These days, it's convenient for almost everyone to keep track of events online. Try using an e-invitation (evite) service to create and email free and fun invitations to your party in a snap. For an even easier method, post an invitation to your party on social media, and ask your friends to reply if they plan on coming. If you don't want to invite everyone on your friends list, just message the information about the party to certain people and ask them to reply if they want to come. If your party has a theme, or if you're trying to make the location look a little more exciting, you can still work with a budget. Look for everyday items that you can use to glam up your party. For instance: Arrange candles you have at home as a centerpiece instead of flowers. Use natural items for table-scapes. For instance, use pinecones in autumn, then spray paint them silver for the wintertime. Create a placemat from decorative paper for each guest. Blow up some balloons yourself. For instance, there's no need to go out and buy new cups and plates. Just mix and match what you have for some vintage charm. If you're having an informal party, it's also fine to just use paper dishes or plastic-ware. If you're hosting a big party, visit a bulk store to stock up on inexpensive plates, cups, etc. Dollar stores also usually have great bargains on these types of supplies. By using your digital music library or an online music streaming service, you can have a basically endless playlist, for free. To make things even more fun, you can ask guests to make playlists of their own before the party, and take turns listening to each other's music. If the party location isn't already set up to connect phones or other devices to a stereo for the party, look for an inexpensive digital docking station with speakers at any big box or electronics store. People are what make a party great, not the food, decorations, or anything else. Make sure to make all of your guests feel special. Greet them individually at the door, and make time to talk to all of them. Create seating arrangements where people can talk to each other, or leave plenty of open floor space for mingling.
