Article: If you're preparing for an interview, you've probably already spent a lot of time thinking about your strengths. Now, take a little time to think about some of the major challenges you've faced in previous jobs or in school. If you're not sure where to begin, ask yourself: What sorts of issues have come up on past employee evaluations? Were there any recurring problems that your supervisor regularly brought up with you? What were some things you really disliked about your last job and would like to avoid in future jobs? What are some areas where you'd like to improve, personally or professionally? Consider how your personal attitudes and behaviors may have affected your job performance in the past. Don't judge yourself harshly just consider your personality objectively and try to think of a few concrete examples. For example, do you: Try too hard to please others? Get frustrated easily when a project is not going as well as you would like? Procrastinate too much? Avoid asking for help even when you need it? Lack confidence in yourself or your wok? Being able to work well with others is an important part of most jobs. Think about what sorts of issues you might have faced in this area, and how those issues affected your work. Consider some of the following: Do you have a hard time dealing with conflict? Do you ever have a hard time communicating with others? Do you struggle with being confident and assertive when speaking to a group or communicating face-to-face? Do you get frustrated with your co-workers easily? Look carefully at the job description, and think about areas where you lack experience or confidence. For example, are you familiar with current technology and software in your field? Does the work match well with previous job experience you've had? Were there some areas of your last job where you particularly struggled and would like to improve (e.g., grant writing or research)? Once you've had time to think about your weaknesses, write them down. Include both general weaknesses (e.g., issues with confidence or interpersonal skills) and weaknesses more specific to the type of work you would like to do. For example: "I have a hard time dealing with conflict." "I second-guess myself too much, which can make me indecisive." "I don't have very much experience with grant writing." Some interviewers may ask you to address more than one weakness. Before you go into an interview, decide which weaknesses you want to talk about. Pick one primary weakness to focus on, but be prepared to address a couple others as well. For example, you might plan to talk primarily about how you've had to work hard to build your confidence as a public speaker. You could follow up by addressing your lack of experience with making spreadsheets, and your tendency to take on too many projects at once. Avoid bringing up any weaknesses that might be seen as preventing you from doing the job you are applying for. Instead, focus on issues that are peripheral to the job's core functions, and that you are already working to resolve. For example, if you are applying for a job as a lecturer, don't emphasize a fear of public speaking.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whereas friendships come and go, things become more complicated when it's your family member. If it's a family member, you'll want to make an attempt to talk about your relationship and what bothers you. This will make them aware that what they're doing upsets you. If they something hateful toward you, it may be because something negative going on in their life. Clearing it up may help. This depends on who the family member is and how meaningful their relationship is to you. If it is your parent, sibling or even a spouse, you may opt for an outsider's opinion and attend therapy. Depending on the relationship there are a variety of ways to seek help such a family counselors, social workers, or other professionals that help relationships. If you have a family member that is toxic, it might be best that you only interact with them during obligatory get-togethers like holidays and celebrations. If your family member tries to see you more often, don't be afraid to say no. You don't have to confront them about your relationship, but avoidance can help weed out the negativity from your life. Although it can be hard to cut out a negative family member, you should not let their behavior go without comment. This will not only prevent them from changing, but more importantly it will allow the negativity to remain in your life. Tell them what they're doing bothers you. It may not make the problem go away, but at least you're standing up for yourself. Recall their previous behavior so that you can give them specific examples. No one wants to lose a relationship with a family member but if they cannot heed your warnings that they hurt you, you have to worry about yourself first. If your family member has given no indication that they'll change you should not let yourself be bogged down by them until they can work their own problems out. If it comes to this, don't be afraid to give them an ultimatum that let's them know their behavior is giving you no choice. That way if they persist, they'll at least know why.

SUMMARY: Be open and communicate. Get help. Limit your interactions. Stand up for yourself. Prepare to cut them out.

Q: Open up one of the containers that the doctor gave you. There should be a small shovel-like tool attached to the cap of the container. Use the shovel to scoop a small bit of stool into the container. Try to take some stool from each end and from the middle. The size of the sample will vary somewhat with the test. Sometimes your doctor will give you a container with a red line and liquid on the inside. You will want to put in enough stool to raise the liquid to the level of the red line. If not, aim for a sample approximately the size of a grape. Flip over the contents of the hat/plastic wrap into the toilet. Flush away the stool and deposit the hat/plastic wrap and any other garbage into a trash bag. Tie the trash bag in a knot, and put it somewhere that you cannot smell it. Whenever possible the sample should be returned immediately. If you are not doing so, it should be refrigerated. Put the container with the stool in a sealed bag and store in the fridge. Label it with your name, date, and time of collection. Consider an opaque bag so that no one can see your stool sample. Under no circumstances should you wait more than 24 hours before returning the sample to a doctor. The bacteria in your stool will grow and change. Usually your doctor will want the sample back within two hours to get an accurate result. Follow up with your doctor to get the results of your stool sample.
A:
Deposit sample in the container. Dispose of your collection device. Refrigerate the sample. Return the samples to your doctor as soon as possible.
