article: Once you graduate from college with an engineering degree, the next step is to work toward professional certification. First, you should take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. This test is given by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) and gives you the right to present yourself as an engineer. A passing mark also lets you work as an independent consultant and can be an advantage on in the job hunt. The FE is a computer-based exam tailored to your discipline. You should prep for the test, because it's not easy: 116 multiple choice questions in an allotted time of 6 hours. After you've passed the FE exam and worked in the field for four years, you'll be eligible to take the professional engineering (PE) exam. Once you complete this step, you'll be a certified professional engineer and can expect more trust and responsibility from clients. Even though engineers are in high demand, finding a job won't necessarily be easy. Prepare yourself for the long-haul. Take the application process seriously, prepare, and tailor your materials to each job. To find opportunities, search company websites and attend career fairs at your college. Apply to jobs in your field and any others you might be qualified for and enjoy. Put thought into your resume. Tweak it to highlight your academic and personal strengths, software proficiencies, and concrete accomplishments. Make sure that the resume looks crisp, clean, and professional. Polish your online presence. This means removing any damaging material from Facebook, Instagram, and other social media accounts while building up a positive presence. Create a LinkedIn account or perhaps even a slick, professional website. Tailor applications to each job. Employers won't waste time on a generic cover letter. Make sure to do your research. Know what the company does, what the job entails, and anticipate what they're looking for then, sell yourself as someone who fills that gap. Get ready for a series of formal and informal talks and interviews before you get the job, both over the phone and in person. These interviews are your chance to sink or swim. If you prepare ahead of time, however, you are sure to have a higher rate of success. Research and study before each interview. The interviewers will want to see that you understand what their company does and what the job requires. They are also looking for signs that you can fill the role. Try to anticipate. Based on what you know about the job, what questions do you think that the interviewers will ask? Form answers to these beforehand. Interviews can take a variety of shapes. It might be a question and answer session. Or, the interviewers could ask you to talk about situations: i.e., "Tell us about a time when others resisted a procedure you introduced. How did you respond? How did you gain support?" The latter is a popular method right now. Another format is the case approach. Here, the interviewers will present a hypothetical problem and ask you to solve it, step-by-step. A few companies use a "stress" test to gauge how you react to difficult situations. They will ask aggressive questions, interrupt, and change topic suddenly to judge how you handle it. The key is not to get rattled. Always have follow-up questions, i.e. "What are your firm's priorities for the next five years?" "What is the greatest challenge that you're facing right now?" or "How do you measure success? Can you give me some examples?" This shows you have put thought into the company and interview.

Write an article based on this "Apply natural soothing agents. Use anti-itch cream. Use pain relievers."
article: There are some natural soothing agents that you can apply directly to your skin. These will help combat the irritation and help heal the rash. These substances include: Aloe vera gel, which has calming and cooling agents. Grated or pureed cucumber, which have cooling capabilities and will help prevent drying of your skin. Coconut oil, which contains omega-3 fatty acids that can promote healing, reduce inflammation, and help with infection. There are multiple kinds of anti-itch creams you can buy over the counter to help with your sun rash. These include hydrocortisone cream, calamine lotion, and other soothing agents. If the itch is severe or won't stop, your doctor may prescribe you corticosteroids. Since calamine lotion is a mixture of zinc oxide and iron oxide, it may be extremely beneficial for itching. It does not have any healing agents like hydrocortisone, but it will reduce itching. Your sun rash may cause pain and discomfort. Good ones to take include ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), acetaminophen (Tylenol), and naproxen sodium (Aleve). Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage amounts and frequency. There is a small risk of these causing skin sensitivity, so if your rash gets worse, stop taking these medications and see your doctor.

Write an article based on this "Tell your listener who you are and what you do. State your objective. Share your accomplishments. Share your skills. Close with a call to action."
article:
The very first thing your pitch should do is introduce you to your listener. Immediately launching into an anecdote about your accomplishments or a list of your skills might leave your listener feeling a little bewildered. For example, you can start by saying something like, "Hi, I'm Amanda Smith. I just recently graduated from the University of Maine's marketing program," or, "Hi, I'm Ryan Long and I work in manufacturing sales." In both examples, your listener immediately learns your name and the most important thing about you. Now that your listener knows who you are, tell them why you are at the event you're both attending. It might be a job fair or an industry conference or you might just be dropping off a resume. In each situation, you should know why you're there. For example, if you're attending a job fair, your objective is probably to get a job. You could say something like "Hi, I'm Amanda Smith. I just recently graduated from the University of Maine's marketing program. I'm looking for an entry-level position in social media coordination." You could also say something like, "Our auto parts manufacturing business has been growing, but I'm looking to take our sales numbers to record-breaking heights." In both examples, your listener has learned who you are, what you do, and what you're looking for next in only two sentences. The best way to convince your listener that you can reach your stated objective is to share past successes. This tells your listener that you already have a good track record in your field. Use the CAR technique for this: Give the context for your accomplishment, the action you took, and the result of that action. For example, your accomplishment might be that you improved your company's sales over the last quarter. The context might be that sales were okay, but you believed they could be better. Your action might have been that you sat down with the sales team and reworked your entire selling strategy. Your result was that your company's sales increased. Telling your listener what skills you have allows you to emphasize what you can do for them in the future (and not just what you've already done for someone else in the past). Share both your hard skills things like degrees, certifications, and work experience and your soft skills things like being good at interpersonal communication or an excellent writer. For example, you might say something like "I have a Master's Degree in Business and worked for eight years as the assistant sales manager for a smaller auto parts manufacturer. My superiors have always commented on my ability to communicate clearly and effectively with our clients." Your call to action is basically what you can do to seal the deal after you've made the pitch. This will look differently from situation to situation, but it should set up the next step in your relationship with this new contact. For example, you can end your pitch by saying something like "Can we set up a meeting to discuss how I can increase your company's sales?" You can also end it more simply by saying "I think I could be a great asset to your company; can I give you my business card?"
