INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You want to make sure you format a job proposal like a business letter. This will keep things looking professional, increasing your chance of having your proposal accepted. Pick a letterhead. If you're writing a justification for yourself, you should use the same letterhead you use for your resume. This will keep things consistent when submitting your materials. If you're writing a justification for a position within your own company, use the letterheads typically used for office memos and other business related writing. At the top righthand corner of your letter, write your name, your address, the date, the address of the business, and the name of the letter's recipient. Make sure you choose a proper salutation. If you're addressing a group of people, you can address all of them by their appropriate name and title and then add a colon. For example, "Dear Dr. Shepherd and Dr. Fox:" When opening your job justification, the first thing you want to do is show how it will benefit the company. Those reading the proposal are primarily interested in the wellbeing of a company. If they don't see how this position benefits them, they'll lose interest. Get to the benefits right away when writing a job justification. You can start by identifying an inefficiency or problem in the company that may need a solution. The consequences of the problem should be spelled out in detail, whether these are higher costs, poor quality product, etc. If there's a role you know needs filling, for example, you can point that out right away. You can also use some research here to backup your claims. Let's look at another example. Say your company has a lot of data entry to do for an upcoming event. Those working in customer service have been doing data entry in their spare time, but given their other responsibilities there have been a lot of errors and the process is moving slowly. Point out that the data entry would get done quicker and more accurately with a specific individual responsible for the job. Also, keep cost in mind. Your boss is probably interested in cost effective changes. Note the customer service reps have been putting in a lot of overtime hours, and the cost of a temporary new employee would be much less than paying so much in overtime. In the above example, you can do research on concentration. You may find some studies that say people work more efficiently and accurately when they concentrate on one task at a time. From here, describe the potential job in great detail. This is where you'll be using the title you came up with earlier. Outline what exactly the job entails and what kind of person would be ideal for the role. List what tasks the job requires, and what kind of skill set is necessary. You should also outline if the job is fulltime or part time and how it pays. You may want to include a brief profile of the type of person you're looking to hire. For example, "I propose we hire a part time data entry specialist to help with this workload. We need someone who's well-organized, pays close attention to detail, and has preferably had some data entry experience. This job would be great for a college student with a somewhat flexible schedule. We could pay this new employee an hourly rate, somewhere in the range of $10 to $13 an hour." You may be writing a job proposal for yourself. If you've been working in a company for years, you may be volunteering to oversee a new project. You may also be applying from the outside. Sometimes, you can help yourself stand out by proposing a new job for a company for which you believe you'd be the ideal candidate. List your experience. Talk about what your background is, briefly overviewing your education and career experience. This is similar to a cover letter. Only include experience relevant for the job you're proposing. If you're proposing to do market research for a non-profit, definitely talk about your marketing internship for a local refugee center in college. However, it's probably unnecessary to disclose that you waited tables over the summer, unless the skills learned apply to the proposed job. You should also list any specific awards or achievements. This can be particularly helpful for an academic job. For example, if you're proposing you teach a new art history class at a university, you might want to mention any articles you've had published, grants you've received, or other honors you've obtained. You want to make sure you convey you've done your research. People are likely to dismiss a proposal that does not seem well conceived. Outline how much the position will pay and point out how the company would afford these costs. Ideally, some of the costs should come from the money saved. If a chunk of overtime pay is no longer being given to customer service representatives, some of that money could go towards paying a new employee. A part-time employee at an hourly rate will cost much less overall than multiple full-time salaried employees receiving overtime pay. Make sure you clearly quantify just how much money they would be saving with this change. Try to focus more on how much money your company will save, in addition to non-financial benefits. Using the above example, you could write something like, "Not only will this change save our company an estimated $2,123 a month, I believe it will boost morale. Without the stress of data entry, customer service reps will have more downtime. This will allow them to be more upbeat with customers. Less stress and higher job satisfaction leads to a better performance." You want to leave the readers of your letter feeling enthusiastic about the new position. End your letter with a call to action, encouraging employers to create this new position. Reiterate the points you made previously. In a few sentences, wrap up the main benefits of the position and talk about how it's necessary for the company. Talk about how you'll be in touch. Say you'll call later in the week to follow up, for example, or request a business meeting with your boss to further discuss the position.

SUMMARY: Format the letter correctly. Begin by stating the benefit to the company. Describe the potential job in great detail. Outline why you are the right person for the job, if you're proposing a job for yourself. Talk about salary and costs. Finish with a call to action.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: With your fingers or a small paintbrush, apply the dye to a small section of hair. This should be somewhere that is not easily seen. Wait thirty or forty minutes. If you like the color, apply it to the rest of the wig. If you don't like the color, try a different shade of hair dye. Place the wig in the bowl with the dye. With your hands, gently scoop the dye over the wig and spread it through the layers of the wig. Be gentle. Try not to roughly rub the dye into the wig. A wig stand will keep your wig's shape and style intact after you dye it. Place the wig on the stand as you would put it on your own head. Secure the wig to the stand using T-pins. The dye might drip off of the wig. To prevent any stains on your furniture, you can put a towel or plastic tarp around the wig stand. Use a comb or a wig brush to distribute the dye throughout the wig. Make sure that the dye is evenly applied to the entire wig. This will help the dyed hair look more natural. Read the package on the dye to see how long you should leave it. In most cases, this will be thirty or forty minutes. If you can't find this information, check the wig every ten minutes. When it has reached the right color, you can wash it. If you do not have a wig stand, leave the wig in the bowl to set. Cover it with plastic wrap.

SUMMARY:
Test the dye on a few strands of hair. Soak the wig in the dye. Set the wig onto a wig stand. Brush through the hair. Leave the wig to let the color set.
