Problem: Article: Use black felt and elastic to make Robin's mask. Robin's mask has a unique shape, so print out a template for Robin's mask or draw your own template on paper. Use the template to trace the mask shape onto the felt and cut the mask shape out of the felt. Sew or use fabric glue to attach one end of the elastic to the side of the mask. Put the mask on your eyes, and pull the elastic around your head to measure where to cut the elastic. Cut the elastic and then attach the other end to the mask by gluing or sewing it. Classic Robin wears a mask in a style of a sleep mask or a sash of fabric. Robin wears a black belt with a gold buckle. A military style belt works best if you want to buy a belt. To craft a belt, you can use a 2 inch strip of black fabric or felt and glue on a yellow buckle made from felt or fabric. Modern Robin wears a yellow belt. Glue a yellow circle made out of fun foam on the buckle. Robin wears a long cape in addition to his costume. The type of Robin you want to be depends on what color cape you should wear. To be classic Robin, you should wear a short length completely yellow cape. To be modern Robin, you should wear a long length black cape or a black cape with a yellow underside. Get a rectangle of fabric that is about a foot wider than your body and long enough to drape on your shoulders and extend down to your calves. If you want a black and yellow cape, sew together the black and yellow fabric on all four sides. Cut the fabric into a cape shape. You can use a cape template or freehand cut the cape. Fold the fabric rectangle in half. Cut one end of the rectangle so that the folded side has a semi circle cut out about 1 inches from the top and the non folded side has a rounded corner. The semi circle should be wide enough for your neck. Cut the folded side above the semi circle apart to create the neck hole. Glue or sew a ribbon onto either side of the neck hole to use for tying the cape. Classic Robin's cape has an oxford collar while the modern version has a kung-fu collar. You can also make a collar for the cape separately from the cape. Robin wears green, elbow length gloves. If you can find green, elbow length gloves to wear, it will be a nice added touch to the costume. You can also wear black, elbow length gloves if you can't find green. Wear tall black boots to complete your outfit. Rain boots work best. If you don't have black boots, you can wear any black shoes. Classic Robin wears green kung-fu slippers. Robin carries a collapsible bo staff in some of his appearances. A bo staff is a straight fighting stick. Purchase a bo staff from a costume store. Create your own bo staff from a broom stick. Wrap the center of the broom stick with a thin strip of fabric or thin rope to create a grip in the middle of the staff. Classic Robin should skip this step, since he doesn't carry this weapon.
Summary: Make a mask. Buy or craft a black belt. Make a cape. Add gloves. Wear black boots. Carry a bo staff to complete the look.

Problem: Article: Even if you think the way you were let go was unfair or terrible, don't badmouth your former employer or boss in an interview. This makes you look negative and often changes the way the interviewer sees you. If the interviewer asks you to elaborate about your boss or former company, you can say something like, "The company just wasn't a good fit for me, because it didn't present the types of challenges I most enjoy." Or you can say, "My boss is great at his job, but our personalities just didn't fit well." " Don't lie, but you don't have to be obvious about it either. Instead, you can say things like "my company downsized" or "my position was eliminated." If it's apparent to the interviewer that you were fired for a more specific reason that downsizing, explain what happened in as few words as possible. For example, you can say something like "I learned that I should really research the companies I apply to, to make sure that their goals and mine match. For example, I noticed that your company's commitment to social justice matches my own passion for it, which is exemplified by my work with the ACLU." Interviewers will tend to have more respect for you if you take responsibility for being fired. This doesn't necessarily mean accepting blame if you weren't at fault, but it can mean acknowledging the position wasn't a good fit or you didn't get along with your bosses or coworkers. For example, you can say something like "You can see on my resume that being involuntarily let go from a position is not commonplace for me. The truth is that my boss and I did not get along well and the position wasn't a good fit. I've learned a lot from the position, and my references will attest to my excellence as an employee and coworker."
Summary:
Don't talk about your previous boss or company. Avoid saying "fired. Be concise, then move on. Take responsibility.
