Hi, I'm Meredith. Make Me Want to Hire You.

Hi, I'm Meredith. Make Me Want to Hire You.
The minute people find out what I do for a living, they want advice. I am a Human Resources Manager. I recruit, I hire, I fire, and everything in-between. I know a lot of people are looking for work, and today, I am going to help you get that job. So pay attention! Don’t use a stupid email address. I look at your resume for about 10 seconds. Get on LinkedIn! I don’t really read your cover letter. Pay your phone bill. If you were fired from your last job, write “I will explain in the interview.” on your application. I wasn’t kidding about the salary requirements. Yes, we drug test. Dress nicely. Have a firm hand shake. When I ask for references, your mother and pastor do not count. I am going to ask you some weird/tough/silly questions. Where do you want to be in five years? You can call me twice. Don’t just pop in and wait to see me. I send rejection emails because I think it’s nice to let you know to keep looking. Do you have a specific question?

Inspired Entertaining: DIY Chalkboard Wine Glasses Last month I got an email from one of those "deal of the day" websites featuring a very cute set of wine glasses with chalkboard stems from a company called Chalkboard China. I've seen chalkboard glasses before, and always thought them to be a fun and chic way for guests to keep track of their glass throughout the night so you don't end up with mixed-up glasses or dozens of half-full glasses left around the house. But all the ones I've seen in stores feature a strip of chalkboard paint across the bowl of the glass, which I've always felt looks awkward and takes away from the beauty of the wine or beverage in the glass.

The Mad Philosopher & 61-Point Relaxation The following relaxation exercise comes from Stephen LaBerge and Howard Rheingold’s Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (1990), which they adapted from Swami Rama’s Exercise Without Movement (1984). It’s one of my favourite meditations—one that I can do in bed, waiting in line at the bank, or while riding in a taxi. Anywhere I can be still, really. I need more practice, though, because I rarely succeed in ending on the number 61. I’m often off by one or two.

DIY Pop Up Cards Today’s column is by Oh Happy Day contributor Michaela of Bliss! I’ve been seeing a lot of pop-up cards around the web lately, all using very intricate, sometimes complicated folding and glueing techniques. Since I’m really more of the simple-diy-lover, I’ve put together a quick and versatile pop-up card tutorial. The idea is that you can use one basic technique for an endless amount of different pop-up cards. Start with a simple card and fold it in half. Then cut parallel lines (in pairs of the same length) into the middle fold as shown in the picture.
