Q: Your vet may give you a container in which to collect the urine. If not, use a container from home that you will not use again. Shallow containers, such as aluminum pie plates, work really well for collecting urine from female dogs. Here are other container options: Empty cream cheese container Shallow food storage container A dirty container could contaminate your dog's urine, making a urinalysis difficult to interpret. Once you've chosen a container, wash it with warm, soapy water. Make sure it's completely dry before using it to collect the urine. With the container ready for use, put a leash on your dog and take your dog outside. Having your dog on a leash will make sure your dog can't get away when you try to collect a urine sample. If you have a backyard, take your dog out to where she usually urinates. Consider timing the collection for when you know your dog will need to urinate, such as first thing in the morning or after a meal. Pay close attention to your female dog as she gets ready to urinate. You may not have a lot of time to collect the urine once your dog starts to urinate, so make sure you're ready to act quickly. You will slide the container between your dog's back legs, so try to stand beside or slightly behind your dog. Collecting the urine should be a gentle but swift process. When your female dog squats and begins to urinate, approach her slowly. With one hand, gently slide the container between her back legs. Consider setting the container on the ground instead of holding it. If you hold the container, you may get some urine on your hand. Have some disinfectant wipes or hand sanitizer nearby in case your hand gets urine on it. Make sure the urine gets in the container. You may need to reposition the container if the urine is hitting the ground. Let your female dog finish urinating before you move the container away.
A: Choose a container. Wash and dry the container. Take your dog outside on a leash. Let your dog squat to urinate. Position the container in the urine stream.

Q: This can be hard in a large group of people. You will want to get up without attracting attention. Try quickly walking away while the people around you are distracted. But watch where you are going, so you don't bump into someone on accident. Remain calm. If you seem nervous, people are more likely to notice. If you don't know the people around you, try to walk slowly so you don't attract attention. If you do know the people, try to make a hasty retreat to the bathroom. Don't slouch or cover the spot, because if you do, you will likely attract attention and receive questions. This can be an easy way to cover the wet spot on your pants so you can get to the bathroom. It's best to tie it from the back because that's how normal people tie it. If you have a shirt that is long enough, pull it down so it can cover your front area. Wrap the jacket around your waist. Remain calm so you don't look suspicious. Act like nothing is wrong. Calmly get to a bathroom or get home. This generally only works if you are at a restaurant or if you have a drink in your hand, and this can be a good cover if you don't have a jacket to cover your pants. This will give an excuse to why your pants are wet before you can excuse yourself to the restroom. Make a joke that you are clumsy and laugh it off like spilling the drink was an accident. Excuse yourself to the restroom to clean up. You can see if you can clean up the stain or if you need to go home. Look in the mirror or get into a stall for more privacy. If the stain is minor, you can try cleaning it up. If not, make some excuse to go home. Try to make an excuse to leave such as "I needed to be home by a certain time" or "I have homework to do" as well as research.
A: Excuse yourself from what you are doing. Cover your pants with a jacket or sweater. Spill your drink on your lap. Get to a bathroom as fast as possible.

Q: Though each firm's needs may be slightly different, there are some general skills and characteristics that are deemed desirable for auditors to have. Those qualities and skills include: strong personal and professional ethics A close attention to detail Analytical skills Communication skills Interpersonal skills Math skills Organizational skills Professional skepticism There are many industries in which an auditor may work. Auditors typically work alone in an office, though some work at home or on teams with other auditors and accountants. The primary industries auditors work in are, in descending order of employment percentages: Accounting, tax preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll services Finance and insurance Company or enterprise management Manufacturing Prospective auditors looking for jobs will need to put together a strong resume. Some basic resume guidelines apply, such as using a standard 8.5 by 11 inch piece of paper with a simple, easy to read font (like Times New Roman). But there are some specific attributes that a prospective auditor should include in a resume. These include: Listing relevant coursework, including any classes that taught skills which were not derived from previous employment experience Showing quantifiable results from your past work experience - for example, detailing how much of an organization's operating budget did you control, how much overtime pay your cost-reducing initiatives saved, or how much (in percentage) company productivity increased after your employment Emphasizing how, specifically, your degree sets your education apart from other candidates' educational backgrounds Using relevant industry terms and phrases Detailing your achievements and accomplishments There are many resources available online for an auditor seeking employment. In addition to traditional job websites like Indeed and Monster, there are a number of professional organizations for auditors that post job announcements online. The AICPA offers a number of career resources through their website, including career opportunities at the AICPA and the Official Job Board of the AICPA. The financial world is much more fast-paced and driven than many other public sector jobs, and auditing is no exception. Many employers want to ensure that entry-level employees fresh out of school will be able to withstand the stressful work environment. To prepare for the interview, you should be well-versed in financial news and capable of handling stressful situations, all of which may be tested at some point during the pre-employment interview. Read financial publications, and be prepared to talk about those publications. Some experts recommend reading The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times to gain a general knowledge of current events and issues relevant to the financial industry. Brush up on financial concepts. The employer conducting the interview may quiz you on your knowledge of relevant concepts and your ability to make hypothetical decisions based on core concepts and financial models. Be prepared to prove your math skills during the interview. Not every employer will expect you to perform calculations during the interview, but it's not unheard of in the financial world. Ask your own thought-provoking questions. To do this, you may need to conduct a little research into the company's history, business model, and business practices. Don't ask "gotcha" questions, just form a sincere inquiry that will show that you've researched the company and have a genuine interest in learning more about it. Networking is an important part of any career, and auditing is no exception. As you build your resume and seek out new employment opportunities, it's important that you remain aware of your professional network to grow and maintain your circle of connections. Expand your group of professional connections to include both superiors and inferiors. Your peers are a good start, but a diverse network of connections is important in any job search. Always carry business cards. You never know when you might meet a potential connection, including at social events. Be honest and upfront about what you're looking for professionally, and what you need your connections to do. If you need a recommendation, ask for one. If you need someone to set up an interview, see if anyone can help you with that. Always thank people for their time and assistance. Whether it's a prospective employer who granted you an interview, a former employer who gave you a glowing recommendation, or a professional contact who gave you a tip on an upcoming job announcement, always show your gratitude to everyone in your professional network. And any time you can, offer to help others out who are a part of your network.
A:
Embody the desired qualities. Choose your desired industry. Write a strong resume. Search for auditor jobs. Prepare for an interview. Make professional connections.
