Choose five to eight points where you will suspend your chimes. Indicate the points with a marker. This is where you'll drill holes, so the marks should indicate that the chimes are equidistant from the center with equal space between each chime. Don't forget to include a hole for where the striker will hang. Mark the other side of the base, too, to indicate where you plan on drilling holes to make the base hang from the wind chime's point of suspension if needed. These should be tiny holes. Your goal is to be able to run the thread on the chimes through them. Drill a hole in the center of the platform between the holes for the chime threads, then drill a hole through the striker's center and one corner of the sail. Cut an appropriate length of thread. This depends on how low you want these pieces to hang. For a five-foot thread, for example, fold the thread in half, then pull it through the sail and knot it. Make a second large knot where the striker will hang about 16 inches or less above, then thread it through the striker. Try to keep the sail close to the bottom of the longest chime. The longer the sail's support line, the stronger the wind has to be to move the sail and its extra weight. Remember that wind velocity is often stronger the higher you hang the wind chime, so a sail too close to the ground also won't cause the chimes to sound as much. Take the thread coming out of the top of the striker and run it through the hole you made in the center of the platform. On the top side, knot the thread securely. This thread, if you chose to make it long enough, can be used to suspend the entire chime. You can also choose to add other hanging implements such as hooks.

When you walk into a room, own it! Hold your head up, take big steps, and let your arms swing at your side. When you stand or sit, take up space! Sit with your elbows on the chair and your feet slightly apart. Stand tall and look people in the eye when speaking. Remember, having confidence is important for you, not just your friend. When you're at a social event, make your presence known. Move around the room chatting with people and introducing yourself to those you don't know. By the end of the night, you'll know have so many new friends and connections. This will allow you to have more fun, anyways. For instance, you might go up to a stranger and say, "Hey, fun party, huh? My name's Jess. What's yours?" From there, you can talk about the food, music, and how you know the host. Be sure to ask them questions about themselves like where they're from. Also, if there's a DJ and no one's dancing, take a few friends and get the party started! You might also choose to sing karaoke if there's a machine available. Do things that will get everyone hype. When entering an event your friend is at, go directly to the center of the room. This will ensure that all eyes are on you. Make sure you're looking your best so you'll feel great and get lots of attention. Stay in the middle for five to ten minutes and chat with your friends. After that, begin mingling with other guests. Wherever you go, have your posse with you. If your friend is a part of this group, let them in on the fun, too, but try to keep the focus on you by laughing, telling jokes, and helping everyone have a good time. Either way, spending time with your friends is important regardless of making your friend jealous.

If you don't have extensive volunteer work to pull from, you will likely need a master's degree from an accredited institution in order to find a career in humanitarian work. It can be an extremely competitive field to find work, so having an advanced degree in a field that is of particular benefit to the organization you want to work for can help. Advanced degrees in engineering, accounting, or other in demand fields are always sought after. A master's degree or higher in humanitarian related fields such as food security is a great way to get in the door. You will need to apply to a position within a humanitarian organization just like any other job, so the first step should be to make sure you have an updated and well put together resume. Make sure to highlight your skills and experiences that make you a valuable addition to a non-government organization's team. Make sure to list any volunteer experience you have in humanitarian endeavors. Create a cover letter that speaks to your passion about the organization you apply to, as well as the cause they support. You can find careers in the humanitarian industry on most traditional job boards like Indeed.com or Monster.com, but there are also specialized job boards you can visit that allow people to post only positions in non-government, humanitarian organizations. You may also want to create a LinkedIn account to help you look for positions. Try visiting Reliefweb.int, Trust.org or DevNetJobs.org for international humanitarian job postings. If there is a particular organization you have in mind, look on their website for open positions. Once you are able to get an interview to work for the humanitarian organization of your choice, make sure to prepare beforehand. You should do research on the organization and prepare yourself to answer questions about your qualifications and goals, as well as about the organization you are interviewing with. Make sure to dress appropriately for your interview. You should wear a suit or a suit with a skirt and have good hygiene. Be professional and confident in order to leave a a good impression with the interviewer. Like any other organization, humanitarian non-government entities need people in all sorts of positions in order to be successful. Once you're offered a position, it may not be exactly what you were hoping for. Many humanitarian organizations will require that you work in their home office for a year or so before doing field work. Embrace this opportunity to get to know the organization and do your best to help from the position you're in. Take the opportunity to network with people within the organization and better understand how it goes about its humanitarian work. Remember that every person counts in terms of helping the cause. After time, you may be able to transfer to field work.
