INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Resumes generally require you to quickly and effectively summarize your previous work experience and skill sets. However, being self employed may present a challenge when considering what to list when it comes to work experience. To remedy this, keep the focus on your skills that you either learned or utilized during you time being self employed. List your most impressive skills first. Try listing a skill or duty first and follow it with client or employer information. The focus is on demonstrating your capabilities rather than your history. You won't need to list your past work experience in chronological order. Chances are your employer will wonder why you are seeking to leave your self-employed position and join their enterprise. Briefly explaining your rationale behind your career change can help you appear as an appealing candidate who is making a sensible choice. The best place for your mission statement is on the cover page of your resume. The aim of your mission statement is to answer any concerns your employer may have regarding how you will adjust to working in a team setting. Your reasons should demonstrate that you are going to be a good fit at your new place of employment. A general mission statement might read something like "Seeking a dynamic workplace that allows me to use my interpersonal skills in a challenging environment." A difficult part of seeking work after being self-employed is the fact that you likely have few people who can vouch for your successes or strengths. However, there may be some people that you can use to provide excellent references or otherwise confirm that you are indeed a great fit for your new position. Any close clients that you had can serve as references. If you had a partner in the business, they can provide a reference. Personal contacts might provide good references.

SUMMARY: Create a functional resume. Include a brief mission objective. List the right references.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The sheet will protect the cymbals from dust and moisture in the air. This will help cut down on the need for cleaning and polishing sessions! The oil from your skin breaks down the thin protective layer on new cymbals, causing them to tarnish and oxidize. Always avoid hand-to-cymbal contact as much as possible. For example, instead of gripping the sides of the cymbals to carry them, hold them by edges. Moving and handling cymbals can lead to bending, denting, or excessive contact. To protect your instrument, buy some cases to hold the cymbals when you transport them. Soft cases will protect the cymbals from contact, but hard cases are even better for preserving the cymbal's shape.

SUMMARY: Keep a cover sheet over your drum set when you aren't using it. Handle your cymbals by the outside edges only. Invest in some hard cases to protect your cymbals.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you keep your marks relatively light, then they won't be noticeable even under the lightest of paint. Some people prefer to go over their pencil outline with a fine brush or fine tip marker as well. Before you finalize your drawing with marker, make sure that the design is symmetrical, if that is what you are going for. Check that the toes, heels, and sides are mirror images. Before you start painting, find a flat, steady table and cover it entirely with craft paper or newspaper. This will keep you from ruining your work surface in the event that you have a few paint drips or spills. You can also cut open brown paper grocery bags and secure them around the top and edges of the table. Be careful using newspaper if you are working with white or light fabric shoes. The newsprint can leave black smudges on the fabric. This isn't always an option, but if you have a cheap pair of shoes lying around then practice your technique on them. This gives you a chance to see if the paint is the right texture and color for what you want. You can even buy a pair of thrift store shoes to use as your practice pair. For natural leather shoes, soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and gently rub this over the surface of the shoes. For manmade leather shoes, soak a cotton ball in acetone and wipe the shoes down. If you are painting cloth shoes that are a bit dirty, wipe them down with a rag soaked in warm water and soap. This should remove any debris from the surface of the shoe and help the paint to adhere. Let your shoes thoroughly dry after cleaning before attempting to paint. Make sure that you use 100% acetone for cleaning, not a mixed nail polish remover. Patent leather shoes are known for their shiny appearance, but it's difficult for paint to stick to this surface. Get a fine grade sandpaper and rub over the surface of the shoe, moving in small circles. Continue until the shoe takes on a dull appearance. Look over your shoes and make sure that your sanding is even from all angles. Otherwise, you may get an uneven appearance after painting. Apply thin strips of painters' tape to all of the shoe's surfaces that you don't want to paint. This means you'll need to go around the soles of the shoes as well. Some people also stuff newspaper into the inside of the shoes to help them keep their shape while wet.

SUMMARY: Outline your design in pencil on the shoe's surface. Cover your workspace with paper. Practice painting on an old pair of shoes. Clean the surface of the shoes. Sand away the finish if your shoes are shiny leather. Cover the inside and sole with tape.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One head will yield at least 20 sticks depending upon how they are cut. Make sure the cauliflower is cleaned and washed before using. You will also need non-stick cooking spray too. This handy tool is what will transform the chunky cauliflower to a mealy substance that will make the bread sticks more like bread and less like cauliflower. Find a cheese grater or sharp knife. You will need to grate or chop the cheese to top the breadsticks. Make sure the baking pan has sides and isn't completely flat. The cauliflower mixer will essentially be poured into the pan so it will need sides to hold it in place.

SUMMARY:
Purchase one large head of cauliflower. Pick up fresh garlic, eggs, low fat mozzarella cheese, onion powder, salt and pepper. Locate your food processor. Find a large mixing bowl (or electric mixer) and a baking pan that will be used to bake these delightful treats.
