Rings add weight to the area of life that the finger represents, or could reveal imbalances. A ring placed with intent can enhance areas of your life. This can be strengthened by rings with corresponding crystals. When a ring is worn unconsciously, it more likely refers to the negative trait or imbalance that corresponds with that finger. Left hand: Corresponds to your personal and private life. Connected to family and personal identity or internal issues. Your left hand reflects the energy you take in. Right hand: Relates to your public life. Connected to work and your relation to society. Your right hand reflects the energy you give out. Middle Finger Element: Earth Considered the finger of cultural identity. It reflects how you related to justice, law, order, and responsibility. Can also signify inner security or materialism. Consciously placed ring: Reduce anxiety, improve stability, desire for self-development. Unconsciously placed ring: domestic unhappiness, insecurities, judgmental, lack of security. Crystals: garnet, onyx, agate, topaz, tiger’s eye, jade.

Apply to a  job, wait (1) day, then call.  Give them your first and last name. Tell them you submitted an application and that you’re very motivated to find [Enter field name] work. Let the conversation lead you wherever it takes. Be very polite. Say” thank you for your time, I’ll be looking forward to hearing back from you.” Rinse, repeat. This is to force them to be looking out for your application. 

 When you get to the interview, shake their hand firmly,  tell them your first and last name.  

Describe your experiences  as “ two years transcription and data entry” if you have a desk job interview and “ [however many years]  costumer service, retail and stock” for your retail jobs.  

Don’t use job “ buzz words” I stg they hear them all day. Say  things like, “ I’m detail oriented and am very good at taking instruction.”  “ I would like to work for a company with integrity and I feel that [ company name] would be a good fit”

When they ask you if you have “reliable transportation” say  YES. don’t tell them what kind of transportation, just say yes. (if you don’t do this, you wont get the job , I’m telling you right now). 

Research the company. Know what they do, why they do it, how OLD the company is. WHERE it was founded, and what kind of position you’re intending to apply for.

When they ask you “ give us a situation where you had to blah blah blah” Make one the fuck up. Make yourself sound good as hell, and like you put your company’s needs slightly above the customer’s needs, but make the customer happy. 

If they ask you about being outgoing, Say you “like to focus on your work so you can concentrate on doing things right” (which buys you out of having to act friendly all the time)

Questions for after the interview:

1.  Does this position offer upward mobility?

2. Do you enjoy working for the company? (if you’re not interviewing for a temp agency who will send you anywhere)

 Then, shake their hand,  Ask them to repeat their name (REMEMBER THIS) say thank you for your time, wish them a nice day and leave. write their name down outside if you have to, just remember the fuck out of it. 

AFTER your interview, send a card directed to the name of the person who interviewed you (I’ll give you them) that says “Thank you for the interview, I appreciate the opportunity. have a great day” This shows  that you have an understanding of professionalism, and will have them thinking of you kindly (or at least remembering you) when they’re shuffling through the choices. 

DO NOT tell them you just moved to the city over the phone.  In person, tell them you just moved to the city. Make it sound like the only reason you need a job is because you moved. Not because you’re desperate.

This week, we’ve been running a series of posts on what our cadre of LSAT instructors wish they knew about the LSAT before taking it. Today, we’re concluding this series with a post about what one LSAT instructor wishes she understood about test day. If you’d like to read more, check out our earlier posts on Logical Reasoning, Reading Comp, and Logic Games.

While I was studying for the LSAT, I put a lot of stock in each practice exam score and even the individual questions I was practicing. Since the practice tests are one of the best indicators of how you’ll perform on the exam, I’d grade my practice exams with enormous stress and anticipation, as if those practice versions were going to determine my future. One thing I didn’t think about enough before taking the LSAT was how the actual test day would be different from practice. This is what I wish I knew about test day:

1. Recreating Test Conditions

Like many LSAT students, I cut corners when I first started taking practice exams. I didn’t use a bubble sheet, I gave myself a few extra seconds after the 35 minutes in a section ran out, and I’d take short breaks between each one of the sections. I really wasn’t doing myself any favors by making the practice exams easier than the real exam would be. I assumed at first that using a bubble sheet to mark my answers wouldn’t take much more time (it did). I told myself the extra moments here and there I was adding onto the practice exam time or the breaks didn’t really matter — but on test day, you find that one of the biggest things you were practicing all along was endurance. Just like you wouldn’t give yourself extra time or breaks training for an endurance race, you have to make your LSAT practice as accurate as possible in order to train for the real thing.

2. Time of Day Matters

I chose the June LSAT in part because I knew I was a better test taker in the afternoon (June’s exam is at 12:30 pm) than I would be for the more common 8:30 am test dates. I still had to get used to taking practice exams and studying for the LSAT around noon, because morning and afternoon tests both have their disadvantages (studying in the morning, I always felt tired, but by the afternoon, I was feeling hungry and unfocused). I started out taking practice exams too late in the afternoon, and this just made it even more difficult to eventually get used to taking practice exams at just about the same time as my official LSAT. If, like me, you’re used to eating lunch around 12-1 pm, you can imagine how important it is to get on a different schedule before an afternoon test day.

3. So Much Waiting

Of all the eccentricities of the LSAT, the one that I went into test day completely unprepared for was the amount of waiting that I had to do at the test center. I remember checking in (after waiting in a long line), getting assigned a seat in a classroom, waiting for proctors to assign 30 other students to the classroom, and then waiting with my whole class for another 45 minutes while the whole class sat in complete silence. I still don’t know exactly why my class had to wait so long before the exam officially started, but I know now that it’s pretty common for test centers to keep students waiting for extended time while they work out the logistics of the exam. Also keep in mind that I wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom between the time I checked in to the test center and the time the exam started. You may not be able to help waiting around on test day, but you should most definitely use a restroom before this whole waiting game begins.

————

When it comes to preparing for your official test day, it’s all about knowing what to expect so you can incorporate those elements into your practice. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the minutiae of LSAT studying, but never forget that all of your practice is leading up to one thing, and that’s test day.
