Introduce yourself by stating your full name. Outline the qualifications that make you a good reference. Establish how you know the candidate and for how long you have known them. For example, say something like, "My name is John Smith. I am a district sales manager and I was Jane's direct supervisor for 3 years, starting in 2007." Instead of listing a candidate's skills, describe how those skills were reflected in the person's actions. Give specific examples of how the candidate used their expertise to solve a problem or improve their workplace. You may be asked to do so directly, or asked a more general question that you can elaborate on. For instance, if you want to highlight a candidate's organizational skills, describe how they implemented a new catalogue system for office files to make documents easier to access. You will certainly be asked to list some of the candidate's negative qualities or shortcomings. Answer this question honestly, but frame this answer within the larger picture of their work to improve. This is the best way to retain your credibility without throwing the candidate under the bus. For instance, note that the candidate had an issue with meeting deadlines, so they streamlined their work habits to remedy the problem. Answer the question of why the candidate left your organization concisely and factually. Do not embellish the story or add personal opinions to it. Note that this question was almost certainly asked of the candidate themselves in their interview, so you must be truthful. For instance, say something like, "The candidate left on good terms to pursue other opportunities in the industry." Employers are prohibited from asking certain personal questions during job interviews and reference checks that may sway their decision unfairly. While a candidate may choose to answer such a question during their interview, you are not permitted to provide this information about them. Politely decline to answer any questions pertaining to: The candidate's health The candidate's marital status Whether or not the candidate has children The candidate's current financial situation

One-sentence summary -- Introduce yourself and your relationship to the candidate. Provide concrete examples of the candidate's skills in action. Describe the candidate's weaknesses within the context of self-improvement. Be honest and diplomatic about why the candidate no longer works with you. Do not answer inappropriate personal questions.

Q: Giant African land snails will eat almost any vegetarian food, but fresh produce is your best option. Start with foods like lettuce, cucumbers, apples, bananas, and cabbage. Also try corn and bell peppers, as well as zucchini, grapes, melons, watercress, and spinach. Always check up on the food, and remove it when it's gone bad. Skip onions, pasta (starchy foods), and anything with salt in it. Make sure to scrub your snail's food thoroughly before giving it to your snail. You want to make sure any pesticides are washed off so that your snail doesn't eat them. Place a shallow water dish in the snail's container for the snail to drink. This dish has the added benefit of providing humidity to the tank. Be sure to change it out once a day. Snails need a steady supply of calcium to maintain their shells. An easy way to provide it is to place a cuttlefish bone in the tank, which can be found at most pet stores. Use ground eggshells (clean) or ground oyster shells as an alternative. If your snails don't seem to like these, you can find calcium you can spray on top of their normal food.
A: Choose fresh produce. Wash your snail's food thoroughly. Use a small water dish. Provide calcium to the snail.

Article: When your honoree arrives, you can jump out and yell surprise, but you can also add to the surprise by making a lot of noise. Give your guests instruments like whistles or shakers, or instruct them to sing or clap when the honoree arrives. Instead of the traditional surprise approach, have guests walk in on the guest of honor, instead of the guest of honor walking into the surprise. Choose a day that appears "typical" to the guest of honor, and instruct your guests to casually file in one by one. Watch your honoree glow with shock as they see the number of their loved ones arriving to honor them. If you are planning an outdoor event, surprise the honoree by showering them with items like silly string, or water from water guns or water balloons. If you are choosing the water option, make sure the party is water-themed so that the guest will dress appropriately; either have on a swimsuit or have a change of clothes handy. Consider your honoree's reaction before taking this route. Some people will not be happy about getting their clothes wet or having their hair covered with silly string. Begin serving food and drinks ahead of time. This will help detract from some of the spotlight and ease the honoree into the party more easily.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Make as much noise as possible. Consider a quiet surprise. Use silly string or water guns. Make sure your party is in progress, when the guest of honor arrives.

Article: There are parts of the game where you will not be under the immediate threat of zombies. For the duration of these parts, you must do certain things in order to progress, such as exploring every area to uncover bits and pieces of the story. You can gather information, read notes, gather food, and even find weapons if you explore properly. You are almost always required to collect all items in any given scene to progress. In certain cases, however, discovering everything is optional and not required to progress to the next part of the story. There are chances to stumble into a small event, such as eavesdropping into someone's conversation, if it pertains to the story. Do everything you think is possible, such as give the food you find to your allies or sit next to them and talk. Eventually, you will hear more of their side and gain objectives for your next mission. Using Lee, you have the option to come off as strongly to one side, strongly to the other, or neutral.
