Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Request a face to face meeting with your manager. Conduct the meeting politely but truthfully. Do not concentrate on the negative. Provide constructive criticism. Do not gloat over your new role. Thank your manager for the opportunity to work, learn, and grow within the company. Have a signed resignation letter prepared.

Answer: If you work in the same office or can easily travel to see your manager (as you may do for other meetings), requesting a face to face meeting may be simple. If your manager is easily reachable in person, a phone call or video conference will do. It is not necessary to fly or even drive over 4 hours to break the news. When requesting a meeting, say "I would like to have a short meeting with you to discuss something. When is a good time today?" You do not need to say you are leaving your job at this point. Start off by thanking your manager for taking the time to meet with you. Politely state that you have chosen to leave the company. Then, state your last date of employment. It is considered customary to give at least 2 weeks notice. However, some positions may require you to give a longer notice (3 weeks to 1 month). Positions that may require a lengthier time are generally those that cannot easily be filled, such as one-person departments or senior and executive management level positions. Stay as positive as possible and do not dwell on any negative reasons for leaving. For example, if you are leaving for a higher salary, do not say, "I am leaving because the pay is too low and I am doing more work than Joe who I know is getting paid more than me". Instead, you can say, "I am leaving for a more profitable opportunity". Constructive criticism is best suited during an exit interview. However, some companies may not conduct an exit interview; in that case, you can express your thoughts with your manager. To find out if there is an exit interview, ask your manager or Human Resources. Remember to stay positive while providing suggestions or constructive criticism. The idea is to help the company retain its employees. For example, if the company does not provide additional leadership training you can say, "It would be good for employees if the company allowed more leadership training". If you are leaving on good terms, your manager may be sad, annoyed, or even jealous to see you go. It is okay to tell your manager the name of the new company and your new title. Limit any details such as key duties and projects because you may naturally get excited about the new opportunity and leave a bad last impression. Most jobs leave you with valuable knowledge and experience that can lead you to the next steps in your career. Recognizing this fact and thanking your manager is important in order to leave a good lasting impression. Your letter should state the basic details of your resignation. Present your resignation letter at the end of your meeting. This letter will be kept in your file and should include: A statement that you are leaving. Provide your last date of employment. Ending on a good note by thanking them for the opportunity. An example of how to start your resignation letter would be: "This letter is to inform you that I am leaving my position as Sales Manager as of June 23, 2014. I thank the company for providing me the opportunity to learn and grow within my position and wish management and staff luck in the future."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use clean, concise language. Keep a positive tone. Balance both professional tone and personal information. Remain honest.

Answer: Remain focused on the point of the letter, using grammatically correct language that describes your intent and qualifications in direct terms. Maintain an active voice and stay away from flowery or muddy descriptions. Avoid cliche phrases or terminology. Phrases that are frequently relied upon actually reflect poorly on you since using them implies a lack of creative thought. When you feel tempted to use a particular cliche, dissect the idea into its "why" and "how" aspects, demonstrating the truth of that idea through active examples instead of flat statements. Examples of common cliches "I am highly motivated to..." "I have always loved..." "My greatest goals are..." Don't plagiarize content. Even though you used information from the program literature to help you form your ideas, you should not repeat that information word for word. If the program highlights its "state-of-the-art equipment," stay away from the phrase "state-of-the-art equipment." Don't copy form. You might find it helpful to look at sample motivation letters for additional insight into the structure and tone you'll need to apply, but you should avoid copying the form too closely. After all, anyone can copy a form letter and fill in the blanks; you need to show that you're just "anyone," and using an original tone can do just that. Your letter should focus on positives rather than negatives. If you choose to describe hardships or challenges faced in the past, emphasize how you overcame those difficulties instead of stressing the severity of the problems themselves. Stay away from your weak points. You'll probably be asked about your weaknesses during an interview, but the motivation letter needs to sell your strengths. Focus on the future. While you do need to describe your past qualifications, you also need to demonstrate that you're looking ahead at what's to come. For instance, instead of describing your lack of experience within a certain field explored in the broader program, state that you are eager to learn about that field and feel eagerness toward the novelty of it. While you need to personalize the letter to show your experiences and your interests, it is definitely a professional letter and should be formatted and phrased as such. Keep the attention on intellectual motivations. While you may have religious, altruistic, or other personal motivations related to your "heart," admissions personnel are more interested in motivations related to the "mind." Emphasize your academic and professional goals. At the same time, you should stand apart from the crowd as much as possible. Don't generalize your professional goals too much; be as specific to yourself as you can be without diving into your emotional or private motivations. No matter what you write, you need to be honest about it. Avoid exaggerating past experiences or other qualifications beyond their actual scope. On an ethical level, the position you're aiming for should be filled by the most qualified candidates. You need to believe in your own level of ability to survive in something this competitive, and lying about your qualifications can be an indication that you aren't confident about the truth of who you are.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase a few onions. Peel the skin off the onions. Decide how you will obtain the juice from the onion. Test the onion juice in a small, hidden spot on your skin to test for an allergic reaction. Apply the onion juice to your scalp and massage it in. Leave in the onion juice for at least 30 minutes, up to one hour. Wash your hair as you normally would. Repeat three times per week.

Answer:
While it is best to make the juice in small batches so that it does not go bad, it will be helpful to have extra onions on hand for when you need to make the next batch. Peel it off using your fingers, or you can cut the onions into chunks, which often helps the skin come off easily. You have three options for doing this, based on what kind of kitchen appliances and tools you already own: A juicer: Cut the onion in small chunks and feed them through the juicer. A blender or food processor: Cut the onion into about four chunks and process the chunks in the blender or food processor. Strain the mixture through a metal strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl so that only the juice remains. A grater: Cut the onion in half and run each half over the grater. Strain the grated onion through a cheesecloth over a bowl to extract the juice. Fresh, pure onion juice is potent and can cause a reaction if you are allergic. Do not proceed with the rest of the steps if you are allergic. Carefully pour the juice over your scalp, and then use your fingertips to massage it into your scalp. Adding the massage gives the process extra power to stimulate your hair follicles. In order to achieve the best results, the onion juice needs to sit on your scalp for at least a half an hour. Once the time is up, shampoo and condition your hair as usual to remove the onion smell. It is recommended to repeat this method three times per week for best results within a couple of months.
