Pan Cover
 when cooking corn on the cob, do you cover the pan? When you're boiling it... also, how high should the heat be? A good rule of thumb for cooking corn is the shortest amount of time to cook it, the sweeter, more tender, and less mushy it will be. If I get them from a farmer's market, where I know they were just picked, I usually strip and clean them, wrap in a moist paper towel, and nuke it for about 1-1 1/2 min. That is enough to make it warm but retain the taste. If boiling I would plunk it in for no more than 3 minutes or 4 minutes. For years I followed that typical 10 min instructions and couldn't figure out why they never tasted fresh and were mushy. Seems most of us were taught to overcook em! And definately don't cover...that will just enhance the breakdown of the corn into mush lol. And I do agree, the grill adds a nice flavor, but isn't always an option. But if you do grill make sure it's not directly over the flame, for all the reasons mentioned above. Try it yourself and see--the difference is amazing! |

Job Resume Cover Letter
Even with fantastic grades and pages of extra-curricular activities on your resume the job market can be tough, and a successful interview is, perhaps, the one shot at getting an actual job. Preparing for a job interview in the psychology field includes learning proper interview skills and dressing the part. Interviewing for a career in the psychology field is not unlike any other field in terms of basic interview etiquette.
Start preparing for an interview by thinking about the questions an interviewer may ask and then rehearse the answers. Also take the time to do a little research about the organization you are applying to in case you are asked questions pertaining to the workplace. Plus, it never hurts to come across as knowledgeable and interested in the organization.
Common interview questions include:
• What are your strengths?
• What are your goals?
• Why did you leave your former organization?
Endeavor to answer all questions intelligently as candidates can often come across in a less-than-perfect light by answering questions improperly. Practice answering questions in front of a friend or family member. Speak slowly and make eye contact. Take a breath before answering a question. Take a moment to notice your body language during an interview. Slouching in a chair, leaning on the desk or shoving hands in pockets may be construed as unprofessional.
In addition to exhibiting proper behavior during an interview, dressing the part is essential. Keep the trendy clothes on the hanger when heading out for an interview. The key is to focus on dressing conservative. If possible try to discern the dress code at the organization, possibly by driving by before the interview or even calling the receptionist and asking. When in doubt, wear a suit - either navy or gray. Keep accessories to a minimum.
Grooming is also crucial before an interview. It is unlikely that candidates who appear slovenly will be asked back for a second interview. Keep fingernails short and clean and keep hairstyles conservative. Be careful with perfume or cologne as well - don't spray on too much. Pop in a breath mint right before walking into the interview.
Always bring the most up-to-date resume to an interview. Even if you already sent one via mail or e-mail, bring another one along. After the interview is over, be sure to send a thank-you note to the interviewer. This always shows care and professionalism and will serve to remind the interviewer about your potential.
