Write an article based on this "Prepare yourself for the job-hunting process. Polish up your digital presence. Locate open positions. Market yourself."
article: It may have been years since you last updated your portfolio or resume, so getting everything in order is crucial before you begin applying. Most applications are done online, so you will need access to high speed internet service and the ability to upload relevant documents. You will need a cover letter for each job you apply to. Writing cover letters can be very time-consuming, so to expedite the process, write a generic cover letter which can be customized depending on the specifics of the job responsibilities. You will need a resume, updated with every position you have held. If you are changing industries or seeking a very different position than you held previously, consider writing a functional resume rather than a chronological one. A functional resume highlights your skills and abilities and how they fit together to qualify you for a position. More and more, potential employers locate candidates for positions through internet sites or at the very least vet potential candidates by looking online. Your "digital presence" is the impression of you that others receive when they read everything about you that is available online. Start by going to www.google.com, the main internet search engine, and typing in your name in quotations plus your location (for example: "john doe" Athens, Georgia). If you have a very common name, you might have to enter more details, like your previous employer ("john doe" university of Georgia). If nothing shows up at all on the first page or two of results that is about you, you have no digital presence and need to start from scratch. Depending on your field, having no digital presence might indicate to a potential employer that you are out of date. If the career you are considering has anything to do with technology in particular, start working on a strong digital presence. Start by creating a Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ profile. In your privacy settings on these websites, be sure to select to allow your profile to be shown in search engine results. Only use professionally done and flattering images of yourself as profile pictures; be sure that any personal, unprofessional, or unflattering images or details about yourself are kept private in your privacy settings (or better yet, are not there at all). Create some publicly visible postings that engage with current issues in your field. Consider creating a website. If your name is available as a domain, you can register it and develop it into your own professional website using a hosting company like www.wordpress.org. Visit this helpful wikiHow page to learn more about how to create and design a website. The process of job hunting has changed a great deal in the last several years, as more and more companies have moved to digital methods for announcing positions and collecting resumes. Network on and offline, as often who you know is as important as what you know when it comes to finding a job. Facebook and www.linkedin.com are great places to get started. Try using websites devoted to jobs in the field that you are interested in, or more general and large-scale websites like www.indeed.com and www.monster.com which tend to carry job advertisements for all fields. As you prepare your job materials, remember that you are in a very competitive job market, and as an older candidate you will have to go to greater lengths to prove that you are the best candidate for the job. As an older worker in a very competitive job market, one advantage that you will always have over younger competition is your experience. In your cover letters and resume, you need to list the skills you've gained over the years and the responsibilities you've held. Show your versatility, too. Since you are changing careers, show how the work you've done in the past, though different, has prepared you for the work you are seeking. Take your time and wait for the right opportunity. Don't flee a stable job irrationally. If you really want to change careers, wait for the opportunity you've dreamed about to come along. Exercising patience will very likely pay off by the end of your job hunt.

article: Like anything else, if your boots are dirty, they need to be cleaned. Fill a basin with warm water and mix in a small amount of mild detergent. Remove the insoles from your boots and whisk them through the soapy water, making sure each is washed and rinsed thoroughly. Wipe the inside and outside of the boots clean using a washcloth. Allow the boots to dry completely, or microorganisms will build back up due to the moisture. If your boots see a lot of use, you should aim to clean them every couple of weeks. Hang the boots or set them aside in a well-ventilated area until dry. Sprinkle a little baking soda into the bottom of your boots. Make sure the baking soda gets down to the toe and midsole areas. Allow the boots to sit overnight. The baking soda will absorb and neutralize foot odors that have set into the material on the inside of the boots. Be sure to shake the excess baking soda out of your boots before wearing them. Try out a mixture of baking soda and cat litter, which is also formulated to absorb odors. Purchase a small bottle of disinfecting spray (the pharmaceutical variety will work, or you might look for kinds that are specifically designed to be used to treat footwear), or whip up a homemade batch using rubbing alcohol/and or vinegar and essential oils. Spray each boot thoroughly, inside and out. This won't do away with a powerful stench immediately, but it will work to kill the bacteria that are causing it. If you decide to use vinegar, it's recommended that you top it off with a spritz of air freshener or a drop of essential oils to offset the smell, which can be unpleasant on its own. Even after you've dealt with the worst of the problem, subtle odors may remain. Continue cleaning and disinfecting your boots consistently, and freshen them with essential oils in the meantime. Essential oils are natural fragrant botanical extracts that are wonderful for covering up offensive smells. Just dab a few drops of rosemary, peppermint or tea tree oil into your boots at night, store them somewhere dry and let the oils do the rest. Because of their pleasant aroma and antimicrobial properties, essential oils are commonly used as a holistic alternative to deodorant, hand soap and even perfume.

article:
When you see the roots of your seedling begin to stretch along the surface of the container or out the drainage holes, it's time to repot. Find a pot that's at least twice as large as the one it's in and fill it halfway with a mixture of potting soil and compost.
