Article: Most coin dealers start as collectors because it's a great way to learn about different types of coins, how to recognize valuable coins, and learn the ins and outs of the coin industry. You can collect coins from a lot of different sources. Coin dealers will have coins of varying prices that can help you build your collection. You can also get coins from internet dealers, which are great if you're looking for a specific coin. Grading coins is the process by which you determine certain qualities of the coin that affect the coin's worth. Where you're planning on being a dealer will affect the grading system you use, but you should be familiar with your country's grading system. For example, the American Numismatic Association has Grading Standards that include 16 grades. Each grade corresponds to the coin's circulation status, quality, and wear and tear. One of the best ways to learn how to grade coins is by working for an established dealer, even if you can only work there part-time. When you become a coin dealer, you'll need to negotiate the prices of your coins with customers. You'll have to learn to be fair but confident to make sure you get the price you want for your coin while retaining your customers. As a coin dealer, you'll need to communicate with other dealers to replenish your inventory, with customers about their particular needs, and with the public to advertise your business.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Collect coins. Learn to grade coins. Learn to negotiate. Hone your communication skills.
Article: Use this information to create a list of job types that you would qualify for and are interested in doing. Being unfocused in an online job search can cost you valuable time, so the sooner that you narrow your focus, the better you'll do. For example, it's probably too broad to say that you are interested in "sales." Start to target your search by asking yourself what type of sales you enjoy, what kind of sales environment do you want, and what are your pay requirements. Once you narrow your search, start to develop a list of keyword terms that you can enter into job search databases. For example, instead of "sales" you might put "auto sales." Sites such as Monster, Askalo or Indeed include mass listings of jobs. Their benefit lies in the large numbers of jobs that are posted from a wide variety of professions. The downside is that you are competing with many other people for every single posting. Many of these larger sites will also let you post your resume online for employers to look at. If this is an option, go ahead and do so. It's also a good idea to agree to have the site email you a notice whenever a job in a certain category is posted. As soon as you start your job search, create a post for each of your social media sites that lets your contacts know that you are on the market. Mention your general qualifications and the types of jobs that might catch your interest. Close your post by asking for their assistance with your search, whether this means sharing your post or talking to their friends/colleagues. For example, you might write, "As you all know, I resigned my position at the MTC, Inc. about a week ago. I'm now in the process of looking for a job in print marketing. I'd love to stay in the Denver area, if possible. Please let me know if you can think of any good contacts or leads for me to pursue. Thank you!" Don't be shy about sharing your job search on social media. Most people have been in a similar position and will understand your motives. You can also share photos showing you "in action" in a workplace environment. If you are a teacher, for example, you might post photos of you working with students or standing at the front of your former classroom. However, some people prefer to keep Facebook and Instagram just for personal, not professional, use and that is a fine option as well. These sites range from ones that cover a large number of federal positions, such as usajobs.gov, to smaller search engines devoted just to a certain type of government job or positions in a particular city. Unlike some private industry search sites, these listings are usually free of scammers as well. Make a list of all of the professional groups that you can think of that are connected to your future job field. Go to their websites to see if they offer any type of professional job search assistance to either their members or the public on the whole. In addition, many of these organizations will offer mentors to persons new to the field. For example, the American Historical Association (AHA) posts a job board on their website that lists new jobs with brief descriptions and contact information. Other organizations, like Playbill, offer a more informal listing of job opportunities. If you graduated from a school, then don't be afraid to reach out to alumni connections during your online job search. Many universities and colleges have very active online organizations and some even post job listings. If you become an active member, you might also make professional connections that can help you find opportunities, too. Most companies will post job vacancies on their own sites before spreading this information around to generic job boards. It's also likely that company job postings will include more detailed descriptions than elsewhere. If nothing else, if you have your sights set on a certain company, browsing their website will let you know how to reach out to their human resources division.

Target jobs that align with your past work experiences and skill set. Try the generic job hunting websites. Network on social media sites. Browse government websites. Check out professional organization websites. Make use of college and university websites. Check local business websites.

This may include psychotherapy, talk therapy, medication, or changing some of your circumstances. You have the right to give the doctor your input, and you also have the right to ask questions. You may be referred to multiple mental health professionals for treatment. If you need psychotherapy or talk therapy, you may go to a therapist, psychologist, or licensed social worker. If you need medication, it will be prescribed through a psychiatrist. Not all mental health professionals and treatment centers are the same. You need to be able to trust the people who are treating you. If you're not comfortable with the professional or the assessment, it's perfectly okay to find another one. This is important treatment, and you need to feel comfortable. If you have just been diagnosed with a mental illness and are beginning your treatment, you should find people in your life to provide support. This can be a scary and confusing time in your life, and you shouldn't do it alone. Choose people you can trust or count on to help you. Consider asking a trusted family member, friend, colleague, or neighbor. If you don't feel comfortable talking to anyone in your real life yet, find a therapist you can talk to. You can also find support groups in your area through the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) or at local treatment facilities. Treating mental illness can be a long and difficult journey. Recovery and progress take time. Sometimes you will feel worse before you feel better. This is due to the difficult process of psychotherapy and also the trial-and-error nature of psychopharmacology. Do your best to be patient, trust your treatment providers, commit to their treatment recommendations for an extended period of time, and let the process work.

Decide on a treatment plan. Get a second opinion if you are not satisfied. Find a support system. Accept that there isn't an instant cure.
