Summarize the following:
Once you've read a job ad and highlighted the important hard and soft skills (considering both the required and the preferred ones), think about your own experience and abilities. Consider which of your skills are strong matches for the skills this particular employer is seeking. In the call center example above, if you have been a customer service representative in a company with very high call volume, you can list "excellent customer service skills," "solid call center skills," "high call volume management" and "outstanding problem solving skills." Many job seekers zero in on the hard skills required for a job and forget to consider the relevant soft skills. Match the desired qualifications in the job ad to your own, and look for skills like problem solving, time management, and oral and written communication. If you do not have all of the required and preferred skills for a particular job, that's okay. You might not be the most qualified candidate, but do not put false skills on your resume. Spin your skills in the most positive way that you can, and then hope for the best.

summary: Determine which of the relevant skills you possess. Remember to consider both hard and soft skills. Be honest.

Attorneys can be expensive, but they'll protect your interests throughout your career. Research lawyers with a track record of winning cases for models. Ask other models for recommendations. Never sign off on anything before reading it closely. Some contracts try to force models to compromise their morals or health for certain assignments. If the wording is too complex, have your lawyer review it. Negotiate (or have your lawyer negotiate) with the agent or scout if you're not comfortable with the terms. Speak up for yourself if someone pushes you to do something you're against. Talk clearly. Don't mumble or speak at a really low volume. You should also use your body language to show your confidence. Straighten your posture, and make eye contact during conversations. Modeling is a competitive industry, so you should be prepared to handle rejection from time to time. You'll also have to deal with criticism. Even if you've been winning beauty competitions all your life, agents and scouts might insult your looks if you don't fit the type they're looking for. Don't let it get to you. Eventually, you will find an assignment that needs someone exactly your type. Like any career, modeling has its down sides. Prepare yourself for working late nights and waking up early the next morning. Get used to last-minute changes in photo shoots, constantly guarding your privacy, and spending lots of time just waiting around. You'll also have to learn to deal with the jet lag and loneliness that comes with frequent traveling.

summary: Hire a lawyer. Read the entire contract. Show confidence. Persevere. Accept the not-so-glamorous stuff.

Avoid using vacuums, loud toys, or even brooms in the same room as a cat. Turn the volume of your music or TV to a reasonable level so the cat can get used to the common sounds of your home. While everything may sound like a lower volume to us, they are very loud to a cat's sensitive ears. If you need to clean in the same room as a cat, just be mindful of the noises you're making so you don't frighten them. Sit still as the cat approaches you so it has a chance to get used to your scent and know that you will not harm it. Give the cat a chance to get used to you without attempting to handle it. You can either stand, sit, or lay down as a cat approaches you, but be sure not to make any sudden movements. Talk at a normal volume and avoid using baby talk or a high-pitched voice while addressing your cat. Loud noises will spook the cat, so avoid yelling while you're around it. As you speak to your cat more, it will start to have a sense of security around you. Make slow and predictable movements so you don't startle the cat. Start petting it on its back and slowly work towards scratching behind its ears. If your cat tenses up or raises its hair, stop petting it and let it calm down. As the cat gets used to you, give it a small treat as a reward. As it starts to grow closer to you, it will associate their good actions with one of their treats and continue to repeat them. Keep treats near you to attract the cat and associate you as a safe person. Don't pet it as it eats or you may startle it.
summary: Don't make loud noises in the same room as a cat. Allow the cat to come to you. Speak in a calm voice. Pet the cat slowly and watch its body language. Give the cat treats after good behavior.
