In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Black is preferred to blue. Make sure you have pens that allow you to write neatly and legibly. A neat, clean application will be preferred to a messy one. You never get a second chance to make a first impression, as they say. Regardless of the job, managers are more likely to hire someone who looks professional. Also, you may end up getting an on-the-spot interview, so you want to look how you would when going in for a scheduled interview. It is always better, if possible, to take the application home so that you can take the time to fill it out neatly and have someone proofread your work. Employers sometimes include specific instructions on applications to see if applicants can follow directions appropriately. For instance, you may be asked to list information in a certain order. In describing jobs listed on your model application, emphasize the skills and experiences that are applicable to the job you are applying for. For example, if you have worked as a cook and are now applying to be a sales associate, you might emphasize your work ethic and ability to multitask when describing your cooking job. You may want to get two copies of the application and fill out a practice one first, so that you can produce a clean draft after having used the first to craft your responses. If something is not applicable to you, make sure that you mark it as "Not Applicable" or "N/A." Otherwise, your potential employer may think that you accidentally skipped the question. You don't want a hiring manager to think of you as someone who makes errors that should be easily avoided. For checking bodies of text, reading backwards can catch spelling errors you'd miss by reading it normally. Make sure all information is accurate. You can be fired for presenting inaccurate information on your application.
Summary: Bring your own black pens. Dress in appropriate attire when asking for applications and when turning them in. Ask if you can take a blank application home. Read the application fully, including any special instructions. Use your model application as a template, but tailor your responses to the job. Complete every space on the application. Proofread everything that you have written.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use soap and warm water, lathering your hand for 20 seconds before rinsing. Use regular unscented soap to wash your hands. This will prevent any chemical irritants from exacerbating the blister site and prevent transmission of any bacteria from your hands to the fragile skin area once the blister is popped. Antiseptics such as betadine are available at most pharmacies. However be careful with betadine as it can temporarily stain the skin and can stain clothing and other surfaces. Gently pour the betadine or rubbing alcohol over the blister and surrounding area. If you are washing the site with soap and water, use a regular unscented soap, lather your hands, gently wash the affected area but be careful to not apply pressure so you do not pop the blister, and rinse well. It is best to use a single use, pre-packaged, sterile needle or scalpel blade, often found in pharmacies and medical supply stores. If you choose to use a sewing needle from home, soak it in rubbing alcohol first. Do not insert the needle or blade into a flame, which gives off carbon particles that would irritate the skin and possibly increase infection.
Summary: Wash your hands. Wash the blistered area with soap and water, rubbing alcohol, or antiseptic. Prepare the needle or blade.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Perfumes, scented lotions, and scented laundry detergents are popular with many. People who use such products, however, may not realize the effect certain scents have on others. Work to educate friends, family members, and co-workers on scent sensitivity. Let them know what they can do to help you deal. Be courteous as you talk to others about your sensitivity. Many people have not heard of scent sensitivity, and may be confused as to what it is. Have patience and explain yourself slowly. If you have an official doctor's diagnosis, it can be helpful to let people know what precise condition is causing your sensitivity. For example, you may have an allergy to a particular chemical that's commonly used in scented products. You can also refer people to outside resources. If you know a website that discusses scent sensitivity, advise people to check out that site. Scent sensitivity can be a real problem at work, school, or elsewhere. If you live or work with others who use a lot of scented products, politely talk to them about your issues. You can respectfully request that they minimize use of certain products near you. Try to approach people in a friendly fashion. People don't want to feel like they're being scolded. For example, you can approach a co-worker and say something like, "Clara, I wanted to ask you about something. As you know, I have a scent sensitivity. If you could leave your scented lotion at home, I would really appreciate that as the smell can trigger asthma attacks. I don't want you to feel bad, and I'm sorry if it's an inconvenience, but I just want to be able to work effectively." If unwanted scents are a major issue at work, talk to your boss. There may be a policy in place in your office regarding the use of potential allergens. Many people will take your request to cut back on scented products as a personal judgment. A significant other may, for example, think you dislike the smell of their perfume and are trying to be polite. Calmly explain the issue is not personal, but it's a medical concern. Make sure the other person knows it's about the scent's effect on you. You can say something like, "It has nothing to do with you. I get allergy attacks walking by Bath and Body Works in the mall sometimes." Reassure the other person there are no hard feelings. You simply do not want to be routinely exposed to an allergen. If your scent sensitivity is causing problems at work, talk to your boss. You may be able to get them to accommodate your needs with a better work environment. You could request an air purifier in your office, for example, or a cubicle near a window. A more flexible schedule can also help you cope with scent sensitivity. Schedule a meeting with your boss and explain the issue you're having. Ask him or her if a flexible schedule would be possible to accommodate your needs. There are a variety of ways a flexible schedule can help you cope with scent sensitivity. You could work from home certain days or Skype into meetings. You could also come into work earlier or later some days, minimizing the time you spend with other coworkers who may use products that trigger your sensitivity.
Summary:
Educate others about scent sensitivity. Ask people politely to minimize their use of certain products. Explain it is not personal. Ask your boss about altering your work environment. See if you can have some flexibility in your work schedule.
