Q: If you and the girl who likes you aren't close but it's clear that she likes you, start small and bring up a common interest. This will break the ice, make things less awkward, and establish a bond that you can progress from. If you're on the soccer team and she's on the volleyball team at school, consider starting a conversation about sports. Start a conversation about a class you have together by saying something like, "I'm so glad that last chapter is over with. What did you think about last night's reading?" from time to time. A unique, tasteful compliment can go a long way. Whether you're referencing a physical characteristic or personality trait, giving a girl a compliment is a great way to express your affection, especially if you remain composed and relaxed when you do this. Complimenting her here and there is better because too often might make her annoyed or uneasy. If she tells you that she did well on a test that she got back today, you might say, "That's great! It doesn't surprise me at all; you're very smart and hard-working." If she has particularly attractive blue eyes, you might say, "I really like your eyes. They're a very pretty blue." Smiling a lot and looking her in the eye at appropriate moments communicate that you're confident and interested. This is a good first step in beginning to flirt with her. Be careful not to stare, because excessive eye contact often seems creepy. Acknowledge her in the hallway by giving a casual wave, smiling, and making brief eye contact. Since she likes you, she might lean in closer when talking to you or turn her hips, torso, and feet to face your direction. Mirror movements like these to show her that you like her too. Holding a door open for someone is always a nice gesture, but doing it every time seems a little over-the-top, even to someone who likes you. Avoid big gestures like giving her flowers because this might be off-putting and overwhelming. It isn't an appropriate time in your barely budding relationship to give a gift like this. Wait until you've been dating someone for a while. If you're shy, liking one of her statuses on Facebook, leaving her a sweet comment on an Instagram photo, or even just friending or following her on social media are easier ways to show that you like her and are paying attention to her. Especially since you like her back, it might be tough to not text her several times in a row, write long passages, or confront her about not responding.This usually comes off as clingy, so as a good rule of thumb, stay relaxed and text her as much as she texts you. In today's world, texting has become the norm and calling a love interest is seen by many women as an act of courage. If your conversations in person and via text are long, comfortable, and natural, calling is the next step to take.
A: Strike up a conversation if you want to get to know her better. Compliment her Smile often and make eye contact. Mirror her body language. Be chivalrous, but don't overdo it. Communicate with less pressure via social media. Text her frequently, but not too eagerly. Be bold and give her a call.

Q: Cold appetizers should be set out before the party actually starts. Hot appetizers should be brought out once most, if not all, of the guests have arrived. Serve the hot appetizers yourself, even if you have others to help you. Doing so will give you a chance to interact with your guests. Crispy appetizers and those with melted cheese should be served fresh from the oven. Other warm options, like cooked vegetable dishes, can usually be served at room temperature without affecting the quality. Cold appetizers that sit out the entire time can be placed on a table somewhere, but for hot appetizers served fresh, serve them on a large tray or platter. Serving foods on a tray makes it easier for you to take the appetizers around to each guest at your party, giving you the chance to mingle while fulfilling your duties as a hostess. Trays also make it easier to refill appetizers in the kitchen once your guests go through a batch of them. If you do not have a serving tray, you could improvise by using something like a decorating baking sheet or cutting board. Some appetizers, especially the cold ones, can be kept out on display for people to pick at. Among these selections, your guests are more likely to crowd around the simple choices, so you should keep a little extra space around them to prevent the area from getting too crowded. Simple choices that do not require any assembly by the guests and are easy to grab are often more popular. In contrast, people eat less when they have to put an appetizer together themselves, for instance, build-your-own finger sandwiches. Your guests will need something to drink as they munch on appetizers. Set up a separate beverage table where they can get what they need. Bowls of punch are a common option, but they may not be the most practical. Guests who are already juggling plates of appetizers may struggle to pour themselves a drink. A better option would be to set out pre-measured beverages. Depending on the nature of your party, light cocktails could be appropriate, or you might still prefer a non-alcoholic punch. If you're concerned about making sure that your guests have enough to drink, set out enough prepared drinks for every guest to grab at least one. Place a punch bowl or pitcher behind the prepared drinks for anyone who wants a refill.
A: Know when to serve the appetizers. Serve some of the appetizers on trays. Clear room around the simple appetizers. Set drinks out as well.

Q: If you don't have much work experience, highlight your educational accomplishments to help your resume stand out. If your GPA is around 3.3 or higher, put it right underneath your degree, along with any merit-based scholarships and/or awards you may have received during your school career. A GPA of around 3.3 is usually what students need to achieve to receive academic honors when they graduate. Don't include high school graduation information on your resume after your 2nd year of college. If you haven't graduated from college yet, put the date when you expect to receive your degree. List your experiences as an intern and/or volunteer underneath your education. Review the description of the job to which you're applying. Then, pick out 3-5 of the major skills required for the position, and explain how you developed these skills in short descriptions of your experiences. If, for example, the organization is looking for someone who "can work independently with minimal supervision," describe in detail a project that you completed while working with minimal supervision. Customize these descriptions for each job position to which you apply. Using bullet points will make it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to immediately see what you accomplished during your time at school, internships, and volunteer organizations as they skim your resume. Try looking at as many resumes as you can and see what format best grabs your attention. Then model your resume on that example. Look over the description of the position to which you're applying. Take note of any computer programs, languages, or other specific skills the company is looking for in a candidate. Put any of these skills that you have at the top of your skills section. Then follow this up with any skills you possess that you believe will set you apart from other applicants. If you've been certified for any of the skills you list, include this information as well. If you're applying for an entry-level analyst position at a major retailer with offices and stores around the world, for example, the ability to speak 3 languages fluently may set you apart from other applicants. When applying to a job, look over the description of the role closely and make a note of specific keywords and skills. Edit the descriptions of your internship and volunteer experiences to most closely match what the company is looking for. If, for example, the organization is looking for someone who can "perform qualitative research," try to include that exact phrase somewhere in your resume. Delete any experiences that aren't relevant to the position for which you're applying. Once you've written the first draft of your resume, print it out and read it out loud to find typos you may have missed when editing it on your computer. Then, have a friend or family member read it over to catch any mistakes you may have overlooked. After writing and revising your resume, put it aside for a couple days and then return to it with a fresh pair of eyes.
A:
List your degrees, GPA, and other academic achievements. Highlight the skills you developed as an intern and/or volunteer. Use bullet points to list your accomplishments. Make a skills section to display your mastery of software, languages, etc. Tailor your resume for each job. Proofread your resume closely to find and correct errors.
