Their job is to fill the job with someone, not necessarily you. Use headhunters to supplement your job search. It's also true that headhunters are generalists working in a field of specialists. The job of the headhunter is to match appropriate candidates with hiring parties, not to judge who makes the best candidate for the job. In other words, just because you're an experienced research scientist, you shouldn't expect that your headhunter will have any clue what you're researching. Swamping a recruiter with huge portfolios of your work, super-long intro letters, your college transcript, and supplementary recommendations from your previous employers is a bad idea. Remember, it's not the headhunter's job to give you a job, and the headhunter probably isn't all that familiar with your line of work in the first place. Talking to a headhunter is about credentials. Provide those, and save the rest of the stuff for your interview with the company you're hoping to work for. Traditionally, headhunters will not work with unemployed recruits, but with gainfully employed and attractive candidates looking to make a change in their employment. You're a more attractive candidate if companies think they're stealing you away from somewhere, plus you'll also be able to position yourself for more leverage when it comes to pay. Stay employed, even if you're unhappy with your current position, while you're talking with headhunters. Only follow up with a headhunter that responds to queries in the positive. Don't write again the next week hoping for a response, unless you want to get blacklisted for life. Headhunters are super-busy people who don't have a bunch of time to mess around answering emails from people who don't fit the bill. Know when to be quiet. If you start working with a headhunter, it's also important to keep organized and focused, but don't blast off thirty emails a day to headhunters asking if they've found you anything yet. It's in their best interest to fill positions, meaning that you'll be the first person to know if you serve a role in the process. Be patient. People may contact you claiming to be a headhunter with a great job for you, but they won't give you details of the job, and ask a lot of questions about your work history, and other personal questions. These are scam artists. Some may indeed be headhunters, but they are only asking about your job history and the names of contacts in companies you have worked for to get their foot in the door as a head hunter for those companies. Others may be identity thieves. To avoid being scammed, insist on details of the job they are trying to fill. Ask where the company is located. Tell them that you already have a headhunter sending your resume to companies in that town, and in order to avoid duplicates insist they tell you the first letter of the name of the company. If you are familiar with the names of companies in that location, begin a guessing game with the person based on the letter they give you. If they refuse, stop all communications with them.

Summary: Don't expect a headhunter to do all the work. Don't send recruiters too much information. Don't quit your job before getting in touch with a headhunter. Don't pester your headhunter. Watch out for scams.

Be active in the way you listen. That is, pay attention to what the other person is saying rather than preparing what you are going to say in your head. Be interested in what the other person has to say and respond in a way that shows you heard. Acknowledge what the people in your life do for you. That acknowledgment shows them that you notice what they do for you and that you appreciate their effort. Your presence is one of the best gifts you can provide for the people you love. It tells them you care about them. Instead of laughing at your boyfriend for crying, let him know you appreciate his emotional honesty. Instead of making fun of your friend for dancing silly in the kitchen, join in the fun. Some relationships will never work well no matter what you do. If another person is being emotionally abusive or just doesn't want to make time for you, it may be time to edge away from that person. You may feel useless in a situation like this one because you may feel like you've failed. However, it could be that you are just not compatible with the other person, not that you have failed to contribute to the relationship. Maybe the other person has issues he or she needs to deal with before she is in any kind of relationship, so you shouldn't place the blame on yourself.

Summary: Listen better to other people. Be appreciative. Be there for the people in your life. Celebrate what makes the others in your life unique instead of shaming them. Break free from relationships that are harmful.

. A full calendar can feel like a life-saver when you're getting over unrequited love. Plus, staying busy can help you distract yourself from thoughts of your crush. Fill your schedule with lots of positive activities, such as studying, spending time with friends, completing projects at home, or taking on a new hobby. When you do get wrapped up in your feelings, use them to create something new. Write that book you've always talked about, pen the words to a song to play on your guitar, or paint a picture to give to your parents. Using your creative skills is a positive and helpful way to release and express your emotions. Focusing on your future as an individual is a great way to move on after unrequited love. Set some powerful personal goals to help you get re-invested in your future. Think about where you'd like to be in the next 6 months or a year. Then, write out SMART goals that help you get there. For instance, you might decide to get a part-time job to help you save for a summer vacation in Europe. Looking for jobs might be one goal, while saving the money might be another. Do you have a habit of falling for people who don't love you back? If you can recall several other cases of unrequited love, you may be purposely seeking out people who are unavailable to protect yourself from forming any attachments. If this seems true for you, consider seeing a therapist. This person can help you clarify the underlying issue in your relationship behaviors and help you overcome the fears and beliefs that contribute to them. When you're ready, get back out there. This time, however, lower your expectations completely. Don't date someone with the expectation that it will lead to everlasting love. Instead, spend time with interesting people just because you deserve it. Have a good time without worrying about where things will go. Challenge yourself to date someone drastically different from your previous crush. For instance, if this person was an artist, try dating a sports fanatic.

Summary: Keep yourself busy Channel your feelings into creative pursuits. Set big goals. Look for patterns in your romantic feelings. Date for fun.

After you've had some practice comparing decimals, this step will no longer be necessary, but writing out the decimals will force you to pay attention to the numbers. You can write the decimals you're comparing out in one of several ways including both side by side, vertical, and table. If you're most comfortable comparing numbers written side-by-side, write the decimals out this way. Most math problems dealing with inequalities are written this way. A side by side decimal comparison would be the following: 0.6 = 0.60 .34 > .10 502.50 < 599.22 2000.00 > .001 You may find it easier to compare decimals by writing each decimal on top of the other, as you would if you were adding them. If you write the numbers vertically, write them so the decimal points line up vertically. Make a grid, filling in each space with a digit or a decimal point, again making sure that the decimal points line up vertically.
Summary: Write out the decimals you're comparing. Write Side-by-side. Compose Vertically. Know how to organize decimals in a table.
