INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Exposure to UV rays is one of the most common causes of dark spots. No matter what kind of dark spots you have, staying out in the sun too long can make the problem worse. As far as prevention goes, staying away from these harmful rays is the best thing you can do to protect yourself. Take the following measures to keep your skin safe from too much exposure to UV rays: Wear sunscreen. Even in the winter, wear sunscreen on your face with SPF 15 or higher. In strong, direct sun, wear a hat and sunglasses. Cover the rest of your face with strong sunscreen. Don't use tanning beds. The direct exposure to UV rays is harmful to your skin (as well as internal organs). Don't sunbathe. When your tan fads, dark spots will be left behind. If you have melasma that's caused by medications you're on, you might be able to get rid of dark spots by switching to a different medication. Talk with your doctor to discuss your concerns and see if there's something else you could take that doesn't have this side effect. Hyperpigmentation can result from a skin treatment that wasn't properly administered. Plastic surgery or deep chemical peels can end up leaving dark spots behind. Before you get any kind of skin treatment, do thorough research to make sure the technician or physician has plenty of experience in the area and a good track record. Whenever you find a pimple on your face, do not try to press, rub or touch it. The more you touch a pimple, the more are the chances of developing a dark spot. Remember, dark spots arise as pimples vanish!

SUMMARY: Limit your sun exposure. Take stock of your medications. Watch out for professional skin treatments. Keep your hands off your face.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A letter of interest is one of the many tools available for a job seeker. You can think of a letter of interest as a slightly more personal version of a cover letter when used in the job-seeking process. A letter of interest will accompany your resume and other requested documentation, but it also gives you the opportunity to spell out what makes you a great fit for a particular position or within a particular company. A letter of interest provides a portrait of you, which is backed up by the facts in your resume. A company can either request a letter of interest from you, or you may send a letter of interest (sometimes also called a letter of inquiry) to a company you're interested in but which hasn't yet publicly advertised a particular position. Whereas you typically give a very brief explanation in a cover letter, a letter of interest gives you a bit more space to sell yourself to the prospective employer. There are situations that call for a letter of interest and others that do not. If, for example, a job posting requests a resume and cover letter, then sending a longer letter of interest might immediately disqualify you in the eyes of the person choosing candidates to interview. Letters of interest are less common than cover letters, so don't assume a company wants one when you're applying to a job posting unless otherwise specified. A letter of interest is often more appropriate when making yourself known to a company that hasn't posted a specific opening to which you'd like to apply. This allows you to express interest in the company or organization even if you're uncertain about their current openings. Part of the purpose of a letter of interest is to explain what makes you such a good fit for the company. This requires a knowledge of the company's background, products, services, and culture. This not only helps you form a more authentic connection between your experience and the job you're seeking, but it also immediately makes your application stand out from those who had submitted generic or formulaic letters of interest. Basic greetings such as "To Whom It May Concern" can come across as lazyor worse, rude. Do a little research about the company to determine whose desk your letter will land on, and address it directly to the person. This will immediately make your letter of interest less generic, and it displays an attention to detail that all employers want. Categorize your education and work experience, and start thinking about how you can apply it to the company or organization to which you wish to apply. Make a list of the skills you possess as related to the potential job opening as well.

SUMMARY:
Learn the purpose of a letter of interest. Determine if a letter of interest is necessary. Research the company. Find out the name of the individual who does the hiring. Organize your thoughts before you begin to write.
