INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many people learn about jobs through their social network. So, take advantage of this fact by reaching out to employed friends and seeing if they have any potential leads for you to look into. Friends and even family members should be willing to help when you ask for their help. Say something like, "Are you still working for that publishing house? I've been having a little trouble getting back on my feet after I lost my job. Is there any chance you're hiring, or could put in a good word with the boss on my behalf?" Most towns have locally-focused business networks, sustainable business networks, or Chamber of Commerce groups. Get involved so that you can meet the people supplying the jobs. These groups or clubs will regularly provide information regarding local job availability and may assist with readying your resume. Local churches or other religious hubs often host business groups as well. Brush up your resume, put on a suit, and market your experience and qualifications at these fairs. If the job fair offers an online resume-submission option, consider this as well. Also, depending on the types of business groups that meet in your community, you could also ask for an invitation to a local Rotary Club or Chamber of Commerce group. Also, if you know friends who attend cocktail hours with clients or work colleagues, you could ask to join. This is a perfect time to meet new people and get your name out in the community. They may be willing to share knowledge about company job openings before they are publicly posted. As long as you left the company on good terms, you can view the people there as networking partners. This doesn't necessarily mean that you can get your old job back, but you can at least ask former supervisors or coworkers if they know of any openings in general. However, if you left the company on bad terms, it may not be wise to reach out to former coworkers and ask about new job opportunities.

SUMMARY: Ask locally employed friends if they know of employers offering jobs. Join a local business group or job club to find out about new jobs. Visit job fairs to connect with potential future employers. Keep in contact with your former colleagues and bosses.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The formula for the surface area of any prism is SA=2B+Ph{\displaystyle SA=2B+Ph}, where SA{\displaystyle SA} equals the surface area, B{\displaystyle B} equals the area of the base, P{\displaystyle P} equals the perimeter of the base, and h{\displaystyle h} equals the height of the prism. In order for this method to work you must know the surface area of the prism, as well as the area of the triangular base, and the length of all three sides of the base. If you do not know the surface area, this method will not work. For example, if you know the surface area is 1460 square centimeters, your formula will look like this:1460=2B+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=2B+Ph} To find the area, you need to know the length of the triangle's base and the height of the triangle. Use the formula A=12(b)(h){\displaystyle A={
rac {1}{2}}(b)(h)}. To find the area of a triangle. Alternatively, if you know the length of all three sides of a triangle, you can find the area using Heron's formula. Read Calculate the Area of a Triangle for complete instructions. For example, if the base of the triangle is 8 centimeters, and the height of the triangle is 4 centimeters, to find the area you would calculate:A=12(8)(4){\displaystyle A={
rac {1}{2}}(8)(4)}A=12(32){\displaystyle A={
rac {1}{2}}(32)}A=16{\displaystyle A=16} Make sure you are substituting for the letter B{\displaystyle B}. For example, if you found the area of the base to be 16, your formula will look like this:1460=2(16)+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=2(16)+Ph}1460=32+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=32+Ph} To find the perimeter of a triangle, add up the length of all three sides. For example, if the base is a triangle has three sides with lengths of 8, 4, and 9 centimeters, to find the perimeter you would calculate:P=8+4+9{\displaystyle P=8+4+9}P=21{\displaystyle P=21} Make sure you are substituting for the letter P{\displaystyle P}. For example, if you found the perimeter of the base to be 21, your formula will look like this:1460=32+21h{\displaystyle 1460=32+21h} This will give you the height of your prism. For example, if your equation is 1460=32+21h{\displaystyle 1460=32+21h}, you would first need to subtract 32 from each side, then divide each side by 21. Thus:1460=32+21h{\displaystyle 1460=32+21h}1428=21h{\displaystyle 1428=21h}142821=21h21{\displaystyle {
rac {1428}{21}}={
rac {21h}{21}}}68=h{\displaystyle 68=h} So, the height of your prism is 68 centimeters.
Summary: Set up the formula for the surface area of a prism. Plug the surface area of the prism into the formula. Find the area of the base. Plug the area of the base into the formula for the surface area of a prism and simplify. Find the perimeter of the base. Plug the perimeter of the base into the formula for the surface area of a prism. Solve the equation for h{\displaystyle h}.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To be sure you aren't ingesting any dirt or pesticides, always wash produce before you prepare it. If the lettuce is marked "ready-to-eat," the FDA has certified that it is clean and can be eaten as it is, but some experts recommend washing it again when you get home. Remove the outer layers of leaves, until you get to a layer where you can't see any visible dirt or wilted edges. Grasp the entire head of lettuce and run it under running water. Gently scrub the exterior of the lettuce with your fingers to remove any traces of dirt or pesticides. Do not soak your lettuce in a sink filled with water this will not remove the dirt. The stalk of the lettuce tends to be tough and can have a bitter taste. Remove the pale, hard tip of the head and discard it. Also discard any of the outer leaves that appear wilted or discolored. Put the lettuce on a clean chopping board and use a sharp kitchen knife to cut the head in half, through the root (or stalk). A classic chef's knife with an 8 to 10 inch (20 25 cm) blade is recommended for chopping lettuce and most other vegetables. Set each half of the lettuce, cut side down, on the cutting board. Slice each half in half, through the root (stalk). Place the lettuce quarter-section on the cutting board with the outer leaves against the board and the cut edges facing up. Position the knife at the far, right edge of the lettuce and begin cutting with a back and forth sawing motion until you reach the cutting board. Move over approximately 1/4-inch and begin sawing again. The last piece of the head segment may be too small to slice safely. Reposition the small piece on the cutting board so that it lays flat, and finish slicing. Move onto the other half of the lettuce if a lot of shredded lettuce is desired. Slice only what you will need for your meal, and return the remaining uncut portions of lettuce to the refrigerator. Shredded lettuce will brown and wilt more quickly than lettuce that is left intact.

SUMMARY:
Wash the lettuce. Remove the tip of the lettuce head. Cut the head of lettuce in half. Cut the head into quarters. Shred the quarter head into thin slices. Shred another quarter, if needed.
