During the call, record every detail you can. Include who you spoke with, their title, the time and date of the call, what they said, and what you promised you'd do for follow up. Also jot down any questions that surprised you, so you can research them and be better prepared for your next phone call. Put this information in your spreadsheet. At the end of the call, review what you said you would do and confirm the person's contact information from your notes. For example, before saying thank you, say: "As promised, I'll follow up with my resume and list of references in the next two business days." Don't reply to suggested times for interviews or follow-up meetings with an unprofessional and tentative "whenever." Directly answer about when you're available, for example: "I am free until noon on Tuesday and Wednesday and in the afternoon on Friday." Have your calendar open during the call to make this easier. Prepare for the call by figuring out your availability for the two weeks following the call. Don't change appointments once you've made them unless you have a legitimate emergency. Be polite to everyone you speak with, including administrative staff and assistants. The boss could hear about it if you're rude. Address the person you're calling as "Mr." or "Ms." unless they tell you otherwise. Listen attentively when they speak and don't interrupt. At the end of the call thank them for their time and attention, even if you aren't successful. Preface your phone call by asking if the person has a few minutes to speak with you. If not, offer to call back later and ask the best time to do so. Write the person you spoke with a formal email to thank them for speaking with you. Send this the same day you make your phone call. Don't delay sending the thank you by more than one day after the call. Unless you've been told not to pursue a job with the company, attach your resume and a tailored cover letter with information you learned from the phone call.

Summary: Take notes. Be prepared to set up specific times for interviews. Use good phone etiquette. Send a thank you.

. By keeping yourself well hydrated, you can help the process of digestion happen smoothly and easily. Water can help soften stool and help you avoid issues like constipation. It can also help you absorb certain nutrients more efficiently from the food you take in. Try keeping a water bottle with you at all times. Refill it whenever you finish it, and try to drink around 1 to 2 liters (0.3 to 0.5USgal) of fluids every day. A healthy diet isn't just defined by what you eat, but also by how often and how quickly you eat it. In order to make sure your digestion takes place as smoothly as possible, try to eat slowly. Don't rush and eat too quickly. This can potentially cause stomach upset. Try to eat smaller meals throughout the day rather than overeating in one sitting. Naturally, what you eat does matter! Try foods with high fiber content, like fruits and vegetables. Try to make half of your plate vegetables at every meal. Also, try your best to lower or limit your intake of things like processed foods, and alcohol. Maintaining a regular exercise routine can promote overall health. In terms of your digestive health specifically, exercise can actually help strengthen the muscles in your abdomen and trigger the digestive process. Try fitting in a brisk walk or light jog at least a few times a week. You can also fit exercise into your everyday routine by taking simple steps such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or picking the far parking spot rather than the one right by the door. Try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise five days a week, or 150 minutes total. Stress can wreak havoc on your body, and really do a number on your digestive process. Stress can cause constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and even loss of appetite. If you have high stress levels, try to find a de-stressing method that works for you, like daily meditation, or eliminating unnecessary triggers of stress.

Summary: Stay hydrated Maintain a healthy diet. Exercise regularly. Watch your stress levels.

Use your imagination to produce images for each point in your speech. This is the time to really be creative and think outside the box. Close your eyes and form whatever picture comes to mind for each and every bit of information. If your point is about a particular animal such as a tiger, visualize a tiger for that point. If your sub point to that main idea is about how a tiger finds prey, visualize a tiger running towards its prey in the wild. If you main idea is about how education is changing, visualize a caterpillar turning into a butterfly or a person changing their shoes. If your sub point to that main idea is how different classrooms look, visualize a classroom or visualize two contrasting things like oil and water. Now that you have generated images for each point within your speech, come up with a trigger word or phrase to assign to that picture. This trigger word or phrase will help to swiftly prompt you and remind you of the information you need to deliver. A trigger word for a sub point about how a tiger finds prey could be "yum" to stimulate you to think about food. Trigger words should be short and clear. Sometimes using unique trigger words works best. Your trigger words or phrases only have to make sense to you. Choose words or phrases that quickly jog your memory about the point you're trying to recall. Begin assigning your trigger words to your body parts. Be sure you assign your pictures thoughtfully to easily provoke the information you need to remember. You may want to assign main points to larger body parts such as your feet, stomach, arms, hands, and head. You may want to assign details or less important points to smaller body parts such as your toes, knees, hips, fingers, and ears. You can decide on any order you like when moving from body part to body part. If you have a lot of points to make, start low on your body like your feet or high on your body like your head so you can gradually move along without running out of body parts. Lets say you have 10 points, you can begin at your feet, move to your knees, then your thighs, next to your hips, ribs, shoulders, neck, ears, head, and finally eyes. Be sure to remember exactly how many body parts or points your will be making in total when giving your speech. If you are stopping at a total of ten body parts when delivering your speech, be able to recall than number in an instance. It is vital that you remember how many points to deliver in your speech. Be sure to memorize this number and count as you go so you don't go over or fall short.
Summary: Create a picture for each of your points. Generate a trigger word to prompt you. Assign each picture to one of your body parts. Decide the order you will follow. Count each of your points.
