Place the tip on your pointer finger, the midsection resting on the tip of your middle finger, your thumb on top between those two fingers, and the fingernail of your ring finger touching the inside of the pencil. The pencil will feel as if it's dangling by the tips of your fingers, and this is necessary to do the flip. Your hand should be relaxed and loose at this point, too. It'll feel a little precarious, but that's how the pencil's going to get around and around.

Summary: Hold the pencil in pre-flip position.

Avoid sounding apologetic or overly negative when you talk about your weaknesses. There's no shame in having, or admitting to, a weakness. Everyone has them. Your potential employer wants to know that you are self-aware enough to recognize yours, but also confident and proactive enough to work on overcoming them. Don't make light of the question, but answer it in an upbeat and self-assured manner. There's no need to go on at great length about your weaknesses. Don't go into excessive detail or allow yourself to get overly emotional about it. State what your weakness is in a clear, concise way, and quickly move on to what actions you have taken (or are taking) to overcome that weakness. Your potential employer is trying to get a sense of who you really are. They also want to know that you are forthright and sincere. Be straightforward about your weakness, and show them that this is something you have thought about want to improve on. Don't give answers that attempt to spin a good quality as a weakness, such as "I dedicate too much time to my work," or "I'm a perfectionist." These types of answers come across as phony and insincere, and potential employers will not be impressed by them.

Summary: Be confident. Keep it brief. Be honest. Avoid cliches and "humble-brag" answers.

It used to be that you needed to shell out lots of money for online English classes, but that is changing thanks to MOOECs or Massive Open Online English Courses. These courses are taught online at the college level and often by high-ranking professors. Best of all? Most are free. Top MOOECs to seek out are Alison, FutureLearn and EdX. Many offer specialized classes that focus on improving conversation skills, verb tenses and more, so you can improve the particular area that you have trouble with to perfect your English. Listening to English with onscreen action can go a long way towards improving your language skills. Try to watch new shows and movies as well as movies that you know well. Doing this can help you pick up slang and improve your conversation skills. If you watch the same movie in English several times, you may be able to understand it without subtitles. Keep a list of unfamiliar words you encounter while watching in a notebook. Afterward, try to use the new words in sentences you write yourself. This will help you incorporate the words into your vocabulary. Your commute is a great time to practice your English skills. Whenever you're in the car, flip to an English radio station. Listening to people go back and forth in English can help you pick up on certain words or phrases people employ often in dialog. If you're listening to a radio interview, imagine how you would answer the questions. Try to practice and interact as much as possible. No one's looking! Reading provides an opportunity to practice your English while also looking at the words. This will help you with reading comprehension and give you an opportunity to take things slow and review sentence construction. Add unfamiliar words to your vocabulary list. If you struggle with reading in English, try simple books, such as children's books. These are usually written in a straightforward way and have pictures to aid with comprehension.

Summary: Take an online course. Watch television and movies in English. Listen to the radio or podcasts in English. Read aloud.

It's important that you keep the waxed area clean, especially during the first few days following a wax. Sweat and dirt can get trapped on freshly waxed skin, contributing to the development of those pesky bumps. Try showering at least once a day and making sure you clean the waxed area thoroughly during your shower. Dead skin cells can build up after you get a wax, clogging the hair follicle and causing ingrown hairs. Try swapping out your regular washcloth for an exfoliating cloth. Then gently rub the wet exfoliating cloth over the waxed area with your favorite soap or body wash. You can buy an exfoliating cloth at your local drug store or online. You can also try a topical exfoliating product, like a post-wax cream that contains salicylic acid. Be sure to apply the products to clean skin and carefully follow the directions on the package. Exfoliating can help prevent and treat bumps. If you have post-wax bumps that are painful to the touch and/or feel pressurized under the skin's surface, you might have infected ingrown hairs. If this is the case, take a warm compress and apply it to the affected area. Leave the compress on for 1-2 minutes, and then swipe the area with a cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide. You can use a warm compress several times to help alleviate the bumps. Calming inflammation after a wax can help eliminate post-wax bumps. Dab a small amount of one-percent hydrocortisone cream on the waxed area after your procedure. For example, a pea-sized amount works well after a brow wax. Use more for a larger area. Apply a thin, even layer across the skin. If you frequently get bumps after waxing, you might want to make an appointment with your dermatologist. They can determine what is causing the bumps, such as a proclivity to ingrown hairs, and whether waxing is the best way to remove unwanted hair. For example, they may suggest a depilatory or laser treatments instead of waxing.
Summary: Keep the area clean. Exfoliate a few times a week to treat ingrown hairs. Use a warm compress and hydrogen peroxide for painful ingrown hairs. Use a hydrocortisone cream. Talk to your dermatologist.
