Q: The pot should be large enough to fit all the hot dogs you want to boil. Leave a few inches of room at the top of the pot so it won't boil over when you add the dogs. You can remove them one by one with tongs, shaking off the water as you go. As an alternative, pour the entire pot of dogs through a strainer, so that the water runs through and the dogs are caught. If you made enough hot dogs for people to come back for seconds, leave the extra dogs in the pot of warm water. Just move it to a cool burner and put a lid on the pot; the extra dogs are still likely to be hot when you're ready to eat them. If you're serving a big crowd and you want to keep a lot of hot dogs warm, keep the burner on the lowest heat setting until all the hot dogs are gone.
A: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Remove the hot dogs from heat and drain them.

Q: Being able to keep the conversation going is important when you're flirting. And people love to talk about themselves. Let your crush do most of the talking by asking questions about what they did last weekend, who their favorite band is, or how they like to spend their free time. Focus on questions that require more than a "yes" or "no" so the conversation continues flowing. Ask a question like, "If you could be an animal, what would you be?" instead of "Would you want to be a cat?" Or ask, "What do you think about the book we're reading in English?" instead of "Do you like the book?" Don't force questions into the conversation. Too many questions will feel more like an interview than flirting. Ask them whenever it feels natural and choose questions that follow the topic of conversation. If they say they love pizza, for example, ask something related like, "What are your favorite toppings?" instead of jumping to a random question like "What's your favorite song?" You're definitely not the one who's going to make the first move, and that's okay. Get them to do the asking by strategically including signs in your next conversation. If the two of you are talking about favorite movies and they mention one they're looking forward to seeing in theaters, say, "I can't wait to see that one, either!" or even, "I really want to see that but none of my friends will go with me." That leaves the perfect opening for them to ask if you want to go with them. Don't be discouraged if they don't pick up on your hints. That's the thing about being subtle: It doesn't always work. It works both ways, too. If you notice that they're dropping hints about hanging out, realize it might be a sign they want you to ask them out. Don't say, "We should hang out sometime." It's vague and likely means it will never happen. Know exactly what you want to do and when so they can either say yes or no. For example, say, "Do you want to go to midnight bowling with me on Saturday night?" instead of "Maybe we can go bowling soon." If they aren't free at the time that you suggested, offer another time. But if it seems like they're blowing you off, take the hint. For instance, if you ask to go bowling on Friday and they say they're busy, say "How about the following weekend?" If they're still busy say something like, "Okay, well just let me know the next time you're free!" If you aren't ready for a one-on-one date or if you're not totally sure they're into you, ask them to hang out with you and your friends or go to the football game on Friday night with a bunch of people from English class. It takes some of the pressure off and gives them a chance to see you in your natural element, surrounded by your friends. For example, if your friend is throwing a party, ask, "Hey, Sarah is having a pool party Saturday. Do you want to come?" The one downside of group outings is that you might not get much face time with your crush. Make it a point to pull them aside for a few minutes during the event, whether it's to go get drinks for everyone or to chat a little bit away from the group. Keep in mind that inviting someone to a party or hangout with a bunch of other people is very subtle. They may not get the hint that you're interested in them so increase your flirting during the event to make it clear. With great risk comes great reward, even in the world of dating and crushes. If you're 99% sure they're into you or if you simply are ready to fully go for it, brainstorm an outside-of-the-box way to ask them on a date. Some examples include sending them flowers, writing "Will you go out with me?" in chalk on their driveway, or serenading them with a romantic song. It will definitely make you stand out and prove how much you like them. Get inspiration by looking up promposals online or searching the #promposal hashtag on Instagram. These tend to be very over-the-top. Adapt them to fit your style and preference. Be prepared that they might say no. If you're asking them out publicly, that could be humiliating for you.
A: Ask plenty of open-ended questions to let them talk about themselves. Drop subtle hints in conversation if you're too shy to ask them out. Have a specific date, time, and place in mind before you ask them out. Keep it casual by inviting them to a group outing or party. Ask them out with a grand gesture if you're feeling brave.

Q: Your first step in applying for a job is to find out what the job entails. Give the job description a thorough read. Focus on what qualifications are required and what the job duties are. Don't apply for jobs that you are absolutely not qualified for. For example, if you do not speak Spanish, do not respond to an ad that states, "Spanish required." Pay attention to what the description emphasizes. For example, if it is a job in marketing, you might see terms such as "digital marketing", "SEO", and "Google Analytics". Make sure that you mention those terms in both your resume and your cover letter. Many job search engines and company websites will ask for you to submit your materials online. Before you hit "submit," take time to proofread everything you have written. This includes your resume and cover letter. You should also look over the fields that ask for your personal information and make sure all of your information is entered correctly. . Hopefully, all of your hard work results in an interview. If you get asked to come in, take time to prepare. Make sure to have examples ready to explain your past accomplishments and how you can help the company. For example, you could say, "I know you're looking for a fresh take on how to increase sales. I'd love to tell you about my ideas for a direct marketing campaign." Dress professionally. Make eye contact and speak confidently. Arrive on time. If you've had an interview, it is proper business etiquette to write a brief thank you note. Typically, this is done by email. You can write, "Thank you for taking the time to meet with me today. I enjoyed learning more about your organization and am excited about the idea of working as part of your team." You can also follow-up after sending a job application. You might write, "I'm writing to make sure that you received my application materials. I'm happy to provide further examples of my qualifications if you would find that helpful."
A:
Carefully read the job description. Highlight keywords. Look over your materials. Ace the interview Follow up.
