Article: These are the maximum length and height measurements for large envelopes. Anything larger than this qualifies as a parcel, and it'll cost more to send. Place the item you're sending into your envelope. Once it's in there, use a ruler to see how thick the envelope is. If it's too thick, the post office will define it as a parcel. Try to make sure the item is the same amount of thickness all over the envelope. A lumpy envelope with some thicker parts and some thinner parts will also be characterized as a parcel. Go to page 37 of the United States Postal Service's (USPS) price guide: https://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals/dmm300/Notice123.pdf. This will tell you the amount you'll need to pay per ounce. You can use multiple stamps to reach the total amount or visit the post office to pay by cash, check, or card. It costs $0.98 USD to send a large envelope that weighs 1 ounce (28g). So long as your large envelope weighs less than 13 ounces (370g), you can send it by dropping it in a blue USPS mailbox or by leaving it in your home mailbox with the red flag raised. If your envelope is less than 618 by 1112 inches (16 by 29cm), it counts as a letter rather than a large envelope. This means you don't have to pay as much! Your letter can't, however, be thicker than 14 inch (0.64cm).

Meeting in person is still one of the most important aspects of successful networking, so you'll eventually need to take your networking beyond Facebook. When attending an event or conference, make sure you have your "elevator pitch" prepared. This is a quick blurb about yourself that you can easily repeat to anyone you meet. Mention your education, some previous work experience and any interests. Think of it like a thirty-second resume. Get comfortable with some small talk. There will most likely be a lot of mingling at your event, which means you'll need to be familiar with how to keep light conversations going. The key to small talk is finding a common interest with the person you are talking with. Look for these similarities when they introduce themselves, and encourage the other person to share. Think before you speak. Before you open your mouth to respond, take a second to go over what you're about to say. This will help prevent you from stumbling over what you're trying to say, and will also help keep you from putting your foot in your mouth. Follow up with people you meet. Make sure to get business cards or contact information so that you can follow up with the person later. This can help you continue your networking efforts beyond Facebook.
