Summarize the following:
After introducing yourself and exchanging a few pleasantries, ask general questions geared toward verifying information on the candidate's resume and cover letter. This helps both you and the candidate ease into the interview before diving into deeper and more complicated questions. Make sure the candidate's answers match what you learned in your research. Ask the person how many years he or she worked at the last company, and why he or she is leaving. Ask the candidate to describe his or her former position. Ask the candidate to talk about how his or her prior experience is relevant to the position in question. Learn more about how the candidate handles professional situations by asking him or her to provide you with examples of times they displayed some of the skills and traits you're looking for. The answers to these types of questions will reveal a lot about the employee's work style and abilities. In addition, behavioral questions have been shown to elicit truthful answers from candidates, since the answers are based on concrete past experiences. Make your questions skill-specific. For example, say "Tell me about a time when you used creativity to come up with a solution to a puzzling marketing problem." If you just said, "Are you creative?" You might not end up with an answer that reveals the information you need. Behavioral questions can also tell you a lot about the candidate's personality. Asking the candidate to tell you about a time when he or she was faced with an ethical dilemma, for example, could lead to some interesting answers. Some interviewers like to ask a few questions that make the candidate uncomfortable, to see how the person handles stress. If this kind of situation is going to be encountered on the job, you might as well know now if the candidate is going to crumble. "Why should we hire you?" Is a classic stressful question. Many candidates prepare for this one beforehand, though, so you might want to make it a bit trickier by saying something like, "I see you don't have any experience writing press releases. What makes you think you're the right person for a PR position?" Asking the candidate probing questions about why he or she is no longer with the previous company also gives the person the chance to either shine or buckle under a little pressure. Uncomfortable hypotheticals such as "What would you do if you witnessed a colleague demonstrating unethical behavior?" can also be useful. Most people prepare a list of intelligent questions to ask the interviewer, so be prepared to give some answers of your own. If your candidate says "I don't have any questions," that is in itself revealing; you might question how engaged the person is with the prospect of working for your company. Have specific details ready to relay to the candidate. Hours, benefits, salary, specific job duties, and other information may come up, so make sure you have answers ready, even if the answer is "we'll discuss that later." If the candidate asks something like "what are my chances?" don't give an answer that will lead him or her on unless you're 99% sure you're going to offer the person the job. Let him or her know that you'll be in touch within the next few days or weeks, whatever the case may be. Thank the candidate for coming in for an interview, stand up, and shake hands. This will be the interviewee's cue to leave.

summary: Start with a few general questions. Ask behavioral questions. Put the candidate on the spot. Give the candidate a chance to ask questions. Tell the candidate what the next steps will be.

Summarize the following:
Nature is good for the body and mind. Spend some time in the great outdoors by walking at a park, going on a hike, or biking on a nature path. Being outside can help you de-stress and tune into your senses. Even spending some time outside in your backyard with your kids can help you connect with the outdoors. If it's not possible to go out in nature, even looking at photos of nature can help you feel relaxed and less stressed. Have an activity you enjoy that brings you enjoyment and fulfillment. This might be restoring old cars, sewing, drawing, or gardening. Whatever it is, it should relieve your stress and be something you look forward to doing. If you don't have a hobby, pick something up. For example, try a painting class, learn how to blow glass, or attend cooking lessons. This activity should feel leisurely, not stressful or draining. If the activity causes you more stress than relief, consider doing a different activity. Laughter is a great stress-reducer. In the short term, it can help you unwind and stimulate your heart, lungs, and muscles. In the long term, it can improve your overall mood and even boost your immune system. If you're feeling stressed after work, watch a comedy, read a funny book or blog, or listen to a radio show or podcast that always gets you laughing. While you might feel too exhausted right after work to exert more energy, motivate yourself to get moving. You don't have to go to the gym to exercise; it can be as easy as walking your dog or dancing in your living room to some music. Exercise naturally reduces stress and can even help with anxiety and depression. If you're too tempted to just veg out as soon as you get home, try brining your workout clothes with you to work. This will help you avoid having to go home before you exercise. If you don't feel motivated to exercise on your own, see if a co-worker, friend, or family member is interested in being a workout buddy. Exercising with someone else is often more fun, and you can hold each other accountable. Pick an activity that's fun and that you enjoy doing, like cross country skiing or martial arts. This could be something as simple as trying to spot five objects you've never noticed before, or saying the colors of every house that you pass. This kind of exercise can help keep you in the moment and prevent you from focusing on stressful things. Trying something new means you're courageously allowing yourself a new experience with the possibility of enjoying it! If you feel bored with your after-work routine or you want to learn something new, try an activity that pushes you slightly out of your comfort zone. This is a great way to mix things up and feel good about yourself. For example, try cooking a new cuisine or taking your family to go kayaking for the first time. If you really want to push yourself, try something extreme like skydiving or rock climbing.

summary: Get out in nature. Work on your hobby. Read or watch something funny. Move your body and exercise. Try doing a grounding exercise while you walk or jog. Step outside of your comfort zone.

Summarize the following:
Mustard is lower in calories than ketchup, mayo, barbeque sauce, and most other table condiments. Plus, a study from the Oxford Polytechnic Institute has shown that consuming mustard seed can boost your metabolic rate by up to 30%. Add mustard powder to sauce recipes for a little kick. Use mustard on sandwiches, burgers, and other snacks. Make your own salad dressing with Dijon mustard and citrus. Cayenne is a super spicy dried herb that can be added to almost any recipe. Cayenne contains capsaicin, a powerful compound that helps burn fat and suppress appetite. Add cayenne to soups, sauces, and meat dishes. Start with a tiny amount (such as teaspoon). Cayenne is very potent. Chances are, you have shakers of salt and black pepper in your kitchen already. Black pepper contains a compound called piperine. Piperine helps to improve digestion and burn fat. Black pepper is most potent when freshly ground. Consider purchasing a pepper grinder and whole black peppercorns. Add to popcorn, salads, and dips. Ginger can add a delicious kick to any dish. This root has been shown to suppress appetite, improve digestion, soothe upset tummies, remove toxins, and raise body temperature (which boosts metabolism). Add to fruit smoothies. Combine with garlic and green onion to make any dish "Szechuan style." Fresh ginger root will be the most potent, but you can use ground ginger in a pinch. If you have a sensitive stomach, including lots of herbs and spicesespecially extra spicy onescan have a negative effect. Begin introducing new spices sparingly and take a break if you feel any digestive discomfort.
summary: Choose mustard. Spice it up with cayenne. Grind fresh black pepper. Grate some ginger. Listen to your tummy.
