Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gain the necessary education. Make sure you can pass a background check. Pursue retail jobs. Talk to people with the job you want.

Answer: A high school diploma would be the minimum educational qualification. If you choose college knowing you want to go into the jewelry field, choose courses that allow you to become familiar with basic computer skills, computer-assisted drafting (CAD), business, and even gemology if they offer it. Working in a jewelry store requires a clean background check and no possible security risks on the part of the store.With the expensive items that are in a jewelry store, any issue with shoplifting, for example, would probably disqualify you. Even though you want to work in a jewelry store, it might not work out the first few times you apply. Gaining retail experience before applying again is a good idea. This will give you customer service skills that will be essential in working in a jewelry store. Informational interviews can be very revealing. Tell the person you want to talk to that you would love to buy them a coffee and ask about their job. Most people will be willing to talk to you. You will find out what people actually do and how they feel about their jobs. Think about doing interviews with people who work in a variety of different jewelry stores. The kinds of questions you might ask them are: What does a typical work day look like? What do you wish you had known before you took the job? What is the most challenging part of your job? Do you have any recommendations or suggestions for me?

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide on the tools you'll be using to draw. Draw a basic body and face. Play around with physical traits as you do several drawings. Practice drawing your character with several expressions. Settle on a final design.

Answer: Every artist uses different tools. Before you begin to draw your comic, make sure you know how you'll be drawing it. You should pick tools you can work with efficiently. Tools that are unfamiliar to you may be tedious, making it harder for you to commit to your character. If you're tech-savvy, consider using electronic tools. Tools like adobe photoshop, for example, can really help streamline the process if you're comfortable drawing on a screen. If you'd prefer to do it the old fashion way, think about the type of paper you'll use, as well as the type of pen and pencil. Once you've discovered your tools, start with the basics. Draw a basic outline of your character's body. You want to get a sense of his or her basic proportions before fleshing out the character. You should also draw a somewhat closer up picture of just your character's face. As the face is where your character will portray emotion, you want to make sure you've got the character's facial structure locked down. Start out with some basic shapes, then fill it in with muscle and details, like scars. Don't worry too much about shading just yet. Focus on the character's face. Is it heart-shaped, oval-shaped, rounder? Does it have any distinguishing physical characteristics, like big eyes or a cleft chin? Redraw the character's face and body again and again. Most cartoonists draw many, many versions of their character before settling on a final design. Reshape and redesign the character several times until you get a version you like. Use your eraser here. If you dislike how the character's legs look, erase and redraw them. You can add or subtract elements of your character as well. For example, you may have originally intended your character to be bald, but that doesn't feel right. Try adding some hair. Draw as many versions as you need until you find something you like. This can take awhile, so have patience. Don't settle on a design that you dislike. Keep ease of drawing in mind as you go. Even if you really like a particular element of your character, don't keep anything that would be difficult to draw repeatedly. Your character will have to make a lot of expressions throughout your comic. You should practice drawing just your character's face expressing a wide variety of emotions. Figure out how many expressions you want to create. A simple comic may only need basic expressions, like happy, sad, and mad. A more complex comic should have more complicated expressions, like irritated, hollow, and confused. Draw your character expressing each of your chosen emotions. Adjust each drawing as you go. After a lot of experimentation, try to draw one solid design of your character. You can use this design later on when you begin actually writing your comic. Mixing and matching all the elements you liked from the preliminary drawing phases, draw a final version of your character. Draw slowly here and provide slightly more detail than you did in earlier steps. You want this drawing to be something you come back to as you draw your comic. Remember to keep ease of drawing in mind. If you find some element of your character is difficult to draw, you may want to cut this element out in your final draft. Have a friend look at the final drawing and give you honest feedback. If they give any constructive feedback, you can retool your character accordingly.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try out different types of fitness equipment. Evaluate your fitness goals. Look at your home gym space. Keep long-lasting equipment in mind.

Answer: Go to your local gym and try out all the fitness equipment there. When you are buying fitness equipment used, you will want to know how it compares to other fitness equipment. Using high-quality equipment can help you determine the quality of the used equipment you want to purchase. Try cardio equipment, strength equipment, and free weights. Make a list of your favorite machines to use. Think about why you want to buy this equipment. Are you trying to lose weight? Do you want to strengthen your arms and shoulders? Or do you have another goal entirely? Make a list of everything you want in your home gym. You may just want an elliptical, or perhaps you want dumbbells and a yoga mat, too. What you want to buy depends on your specific workout style and fitness goals. Measure the space in your home that you've chosen to designate for your fitness equipment. Look up the measurements of the equipment you would like to buy. Mark out the spaces for this equipment in your home by putting masking tape on the floor. Take length, width, and height of the equipment into account. Depending on where you buy your fitness equipment, the equipment itself might not have a warranty. Therefore, if it breaks, you will have no free way of fixing it. Some fitness equipment, though, will last almost forever. Free weights, kettlebells, and punching bags will last for a long time. Something electric like a treadmill, however, will be useless if broken. Consider buying fitness equipment that is long-lasting and not electric.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a schedule. Eliminate unnecessary activities. Create goals.

Answer:
Once you choose an additional means to make money, you will likely have a deficit of time compared to before. If you have children or other responsibilities, this means that time management is critical. Creating a schedule and budgeting your time is the most important step in time management. You will need to create a block of time each day to allocate towards whatever money making opportunity you choose to pursue. To do this, write down your current daily routine for each day of the week (or as close to it as you can accurately represent), with the associated times for each activity. Try to find an empty time or at least a less busy time during which you can work on your new job. If you find yourself short on time, eliminating unnecessary activities can be helpful. What is an unnecessary activity? Any activity that can be easily removed from your schedule with little impact. Most people, whether they know it or not, spend ample time each day doing unnecessary activities. Observe yourself for a day. You may realize you spend an hour on Facebook everyday for example, or two hours watching TV. While eliminating these activities completely is probably unwise (downtime and social time are important), you can perhaps cut both of these activities in half. The newly freed-up time can be allocated to more productive activities. Creating a list of daily, weekly, or monthly goals can be an excellent way to stay on track and manage your time. Simply create a list of the main things you choose to accomplish each day. For example, if you are babysitting, you may make your daily goal to advertise your business in some way. This can be done at any time that is appropriate for you. If you are using daily goals, setting aside ten minutes at night to plan the next day can be a useful strategy. Keep your list of goals somewhere that is clearly visible. It will keep you focused on the tasks you need to be doing and away from the tasks you don't need to do.
