INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Since most job searches are conducted online rather than through snail mail, it's unnecessary to include your full mailing address. If you're trying to relocate for work, you should remove all location information from your resume. If you're applying to a job close to your home, it could be helpful to include your city, state, and zip code to show that you're a local candidate. Including your full address on your resume isn't just unnecessary; it can also be a security risk, especially if you upload or post your resume online. Including your graduation date when you add your degree to a resume can consciously or subconsciously cause recruiters to discriminate against you based on your age. However, including a graduation year can sometimes be helpful for those with less experience as it will explain to recruiters why you don't have a longer employment history. No matter when you graduated, it's not necessary to include the date you started your degree. It's generally considered fine to include your GPA for the first few years after you finish high school or college, especially if it's 3.5 or above. For recent graduates, a high GPA can show work ethic, intelligence, and drive. However, once you're 3 years out, grades aren't considered to be as relevant for work performance and your GPA should be removed from your resume. If you have a college degree, you should typically remove all references to high school from your resume. However, if you have a master's degree or PhD, you should still include your undergraduate degree. Just be sure to list the Master's or PhD first. Once you've been working for a few years, you should also pare down your roles and accomplishments from college. For example, it may be time to omit your membership in a club sport team or sorority, but keep more impressive accomplishments such as high honors (such as summa cum laude) or an appointed position on a selection committee. Your resume should not include information such as your age, sex, height, weight, religion, political affiliation, or place of birth. In the US, it is actually illegal for employers to ask for many of these personal details. To avoid discrimination and ensure you're judged based on your experience and qualifications, leave these details off. Including this information on your resume can also pose a security issue if you post your resume online. Your resume is not the place to bring up why you transitioned away from previous companies. Remove any statements that try to explain why you left a certain role and address this topic in the interview if it comes up.

SUMMARY: Omit your full mailing address, especially for out-of-state jobs. Leave off your graduation date if it's more than 15 years in the past. Remove your GPA a few years after graduation. Get rid of non-professional personal data. Leave out reasons for leaving your former job.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Although measuring the distance from your wrist to the floor is the "gold standard" of determining cane length, you may prefer a slightly different height based on many physiological factors, such as the flexibility or strength in your hands, wrists, elbows or shoulders. For example, if you can't bend your elbow very much, you might need a cane that's a little shorter. Try a few different lengths of canes while at the medical supply store or your physician's or physiotherapist's office before determining the perfect size for your particular condition. Choose a walking cane based on function as well as personal preference. Many people who carry a walking cane use it primarily for balance (especially when walking on unbalanced or slippery surfaces), as opposed to needing it to support the majority of their body weight. The length of your cane doesn't need to be as precise if you're using it mainly for balance instead of weight bearing / support. There are different kinds of canes. Some have one tip while other have four tips. The ones with four tips provide more stability but these canes are harder to use. Not all walking canes are designed to support all of your body weight, especially if you're obese. As such, perhaps you should consider crutches or a wheelchair if you need more support. Canes also have different types of grips. For example, you can get a cane with a foam handle grip with or without a cuff that fits around your arm. You can also get a cane that has a large handle to make it easier for you to hold onto. Try gripping different types of cane handles to see what feels the most comfortable for you. Walking canes typically come with rubber or plastic tips on the end, which provide grip but they also affect the height of the cane. So when measuring the cane, always take into consideration the size of the tip. Furthermore, when the tips wear down with use, the cane's height will reduce somewhat, so remember to replace worn out tips. The pliable rubber tips on the ends of canes grip the floor much like the tread on tires grip the road. Make sure your cane has a tip that is in good shape. If you need to replace the tip, then go to a medical supply store and buy a new one. When buying a cane, make sure the rubber tip is supple and the tread is in good shape.

SUMMARY: Try different cane lengths. Consider what your cane is for. Choose a grip that works for you. Don't forget about the tip.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sleep deprivation can make it a lot harder to prevent your body from shaking. Try to get to bed around the same time every night. Get at least seven hours of sleep if you are an adult, and at least 9 if you are a teenager. If you only practice speaking when you're alone, you're more likely to get anxious when you deliver the speech to an audience. Get as many sessions in as you can in front of friends, family, colleagues, and small groups. Practice a little every day, but on the night before you deliver the speech, don't practice. Just relax. If you notice that there's a section of the speech that makes you the most nervous, practice it extra. For instance, if you always get nervous right at the beginning, devote extra practice time to the beginning. If you can, spend some time in the place you will give your speech. Practice there if you can. If the location is in your workplace or school, visit it frequently to practice. Relax there as well. If the location won't be accessible until the day of the speech, try to come a little early so you can acclimate to the environment. In the days before the speech, and on the day itself, avoid stressors. Don't talk to anyone who makes you anxious. Take some "me time" every day to do things that relax you, like taking a hot bath, reading a book, or watching a comedy. Running and other forms of vigorous movement can use up your extra adrenaline. Try taking a jog, going for a rapid bike ride, or even dancing out your nerves on the morning before you present. If you can't do something vigorous, take a brisk walk instead. Write down what makes you nervous about a speech. Consider each of them individually. What's the worst that could happen in each case? If it happens, what will you do? For instance, if you're scared that you'll forget what to say next, think, "I'll just pause and look at my notes." This technique may not work if you are prone to catastrophic thinking. If you are someone who tends to worry about the worst case scenario, don't try this method. Generally speaking, caffeine is not bad for anxiety. It can even have a positive effect. However, if you consume an excess amount, over 300 mg in a day, it can make you shake. Limit yourself to one or two cups.

SUMMARY:
Get a full night's sleep. Practice in front of others. Visit the location of your speech. Focus on relaxing. Exercise before a speech. List the things that you're afraid of. Moderate your caffeine consumption.
