article: When you're starting your restaurant career, be open to any position that comes your way. Look for jobs in local restaurants, then send them your application, cover letter, and resume. Send out several applications at once to increase your chances of getting a job. You might start as a kitchen assistant or garde manger, which is the person who prepares appetizers, soups, and cold dishes. The next step up is line cook, then sous chef, which is the position directly under the head chef. Finally, you might become the head chef of a restaurant. If you've previously worked in a kitchen, you'll likely be able to get a better job than someone who's just starting out. Connections might help you move up the career ladder faster. Talk to other chefs, meet restaurant owners, and attend industry events to interact with others in your field. This will help you build relationships with people who might help your career. When you're at an event with served food, ask to talk to the chef. Talk to the people you meet during trainings. Don't expect to spend your entire career at the same restaurant. Instead, you'll probably have to switch restaurants to continue your rise up the career ladder. Be on the constant lookout for new positions, and apply for jobs that will help you reach your goal of becoming a chef. For instance, if you're currently working as a line cook, apply for sous chef jobs at other local restaurants. A sous chef works directly under a head chef, which helps you build your skills and your resume. Look for a job as a sous chef after you become a line cook. Plan to work in this position for at least 1-3 years before you rise up to a head chef position. Typically, you'll already have the knowledge and skills necessary to be a chef when you take a sous chef position. However, you might not have the kitchen experience and level of expertise to be a head chef yet, which you'll get as a sous chef. After you've reached the position of sous chef, look for opportunities to become head chef. Keep track of restaurant openings and the career paths of the head chefs in your area. Network to meet potential job contacts who might help you get your own kitchen. When a job opens up, reach out to the restaurant owner or hiring manager and offer to show them your skills. It might take several years for you to become a head chef. Making friends in the restaurant industry is the best way to get your work noticed. Be nice to everyone you meet because you never know who could help you get to your ultimate goal of being a chef.

Factor in the time it will take to become blonde. Plan for the financial cost. Research quality hair products."
article: Blonde hair needs more attention than other hair colors. Keep in mind that transitioning more than two shades lighter or darker will require a stronger effort to maintain. When your roots begin to grow out, you will need to use the same professional process to do a touch up. If high maintenance is an issue, err on the side of caution when deciding to go blonde or not. Do not attempt to bleach or tone your hair at home. Bleach is an extremely harsh chemical that strips your hair follicles. You will need to pay a saloon professional to transition you to blonde and for all of the maintenance visits. While a DIY color job might be the cheaper option, bleaching at home can create a hair horror that you won't want to deal with. You can easily fry your hair, turn it orange or lose all of its volume. To be safe, you will have to be able to afford to see a professional. To keep your hair at the desired shade and your roots matching, you need to touch it up every four to six weeks. When your roots start to show, you will need to bleach and tone them to match your hair. Also, you will need to have your hair trimmed at almost every visit for blonde hair causes split ends. If you are going to a saloon for touch-ups, which is highly recommend, this endeavor becomes pretty pricey. Consider the long term expenses and be sure you have not only the time for saloon visits, but also the money it will take to maintain your blonde hair. Going all blonde at once is not recommended. It is natural to become excited about having an all blonde look, but it is important you work your way up to an all over color. Depending on how dark or damaged your current hair is, your saloon professional is going to want to gradually lighten your hair using blonde highlights and then slowly build on them over time. This prevents your hair from going into shock and breaking off. Most stylists will deny a full coverage bleach job because they know how damaging it is to your hair. Your stylist is going to ask you about past color treatments and process jobs. It is important for them to know how damaged your hair follicles are and what your hair is capable of enduring, so be honest. It is going to take multiple trips to the saloon before you walk out with one beautiful shade of blonde, and that is going to cost money. It would be helpful to plan out the financial costs so you can be prepared for the expenses. You can try calling saloons to ask for their prices, but most of the time, in order to give you an accurate price, a saloon professional will need to see and examine your hair to figure out the right treatment plan for you. Once you discuss what you want and the best way to get there, your stylist can have a better idea about how much going blonde is going to cost you financially. The chemicals that develop beautiful blonde colors also take a toll on your hair follicles. In order to replenish essential vitamins, minerals, and moisture back into your hair, you have to use quality products. This includes shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioning treatments, heat protectants, and after showering moisturizers. If you want to keep your hair looking healthy, you will have to buy quality products. Ask your saloon professional what products they recommend for blonde hair. It is important to restore the moisture and strength back into your hair that bleach strips away. You may experience a texture change after you process your hair and would then have to use additional products to add back shine, volume, and softness.

Everybody has their own signature style, even if they don't know it. You have a favorite pair of jeans, a favorite cut of dress, a favorite style of shoe, etc. Figure out what your wardrobe essentials are and embrace them. When you create a capsule type of wardrobe, you'll be able to put together polished outfits instantly, and know that you'll look great. Get rid of clothing that you don't wear and clothing that isn't figure flattering. Filling your closet with fewer pieces that look great is much better than tons of pieces that don't look that good. Your edited wardrobe might include pieces that can easily go together, such as a couple pairs of skinny jeans, a nice pair of black slacks, a blazer, a few blouses, and your favorite flats in a few different colors. Adding a nice blazer, sweater, or jacket can improve any outfit, so invest in these pieces. You'll be able to pair them with the majority of the clothes in your wardrobe. Get a nice pair of denim jeans as well, as high quality denim always looks great. Women should always invest in a little black dress, and men should always invest in a nice fitting suit. These can be re-worn over and over again, so invest in something nice. Accessories can make or break any outfit. Overdoing the accessories can cheapen your look, and wearing too few accessories can cause you to look lack-luster. Picking out a few staple accessories including jewelry, handbags, and shoes will help you polish up any outfit. A pair of diamond (or rhinestone) studs can dazzle up any outfit, and a pair of gold and silver hoops can go with nearly any outfit. Add these earrings to your staple accessories and add them to an outfit whenever you're in doubt. Adding belts, necklaces, and bracelets to outfit can polish up a look when done right. Stick to simple accessories as opposed to gaudy ones. Invest in a pair of go-to flats and go-to pumps (or a go-to pair of sneakers and dress shoes for men). These shoes should be versatile and comfortable so that you can pair them with almost every outfit. Clean the scuff marks or salt stains out of your shoes. Since you walk around outside, your shoes tend to get dirty. Simply cleaning any dirt from your shoes automatically polish up your look. It's simple things, like coordinating your colors, that can help to create a polished look. Everything doesn't have to match perfectly, but make sure your colors go well together. And when you're in doubt, simply wear black (because black goes with everything and always looks chic). Neutral colors tend to go well together. Mix a few tans and beiges to create a polished, yet subtle look. If you're wearing a dress that has pink accents, match your lipstick or accessories to those accents. Matching your nail color to your shoes is a great way to pull off a completely polished look.
