If you are in college or plan on returning you may have mixed feelings about essay based tests. Sure they do offer you the opportunity to write down all you know rather than being tested on what you don't know like a multiple choice test. However, one annoying part of essays is writing for extended periods of time and the accompanying hand cramps. This article explains how to best avoid cramps during the middle of your test so pay close attention.
Before Your Test
Your preparation should begin before you arrive at the career fair. The first thing that you need to do is identify your goal. What do you hope to accomplish at the fair? Are you looking for an internship, a job, or to network? Perhaps it is all three, but knowing exactly why you are going will help you determine how to best prepare.
Along with the wide grip make sure that the pen you choose is very comfortable. People's hands are all different, no surprise there. So it should not be a surprise that the comfort of pens will be different for different people. Try holding pens in the store before you buy them to make sure that you have found the right pen for you.
Prepare your pitch. Know what it is you are going to say and what you would like to ask. Do background research on the most important companies and write down notes to bring with you to the fair. Before you speak with a company look at your notes so you are able to make better use of your time instead of asking ignorant questions like what the company does.
The cascading part is what makes the language so valuable. Rather than having to rewrite the same style sheet for each page of your website. The style you choose 'cascades' down throughout all of your webpages. You can then make adjustments to the design of individual webpages if you would like but you don't have to repeat the process of writing the CSS for each page. Make sure to learn HTML before CSS so you have something to build off (literally).
2. Learn How to Hold it I am not referring to the exact finger position that you hold your pen in, people seem to get along fine in different ways. The important part of your grip is the pressure. This includes both the pressure of our fingers on the pen and the pressure of the pen on the paper. Make sure to hold the pen in a loose grip while you write. Practice holding the pen loosely, almost to the point where it will fall from your hand. The less pressure your fingers place on the pen the less stress the tendons of your hand will be. Next make sure that you press lightly on the paper. Having the smooth pen as mentioned previously helps with this. If you take a pen in a loose grip and press hard on the paper with it your fingers will slip. To make up for this you end up tightening your grip and then we are back to the original problem. So make sure not only to have a loose grip but to press lightly on the paper. Stressing your hand less means less cramping.
During Your Test
Pull out your list of companies and make your way through the fair in the order you have prepared previously. Approach each company warmly with a firm handshake. Be friendly and listen to the recruiter so you can best explain how you can solve the company's issues. Often you have to wait in line to speak to company contacts. Listen to the conversations ahead of you while you wait to gather in background information that will help you in your turn.
2. Hold Your Pen Correctly! I know you just read about holding your pen but it needs to be brought up again. During the test you will find that your concentration on the task at hand will cause you to forget about your grip until you realize you are cramping.
Make sure you have the contact for the area you are interested in. Often the needed contact is not the recruiter but the head of another department so make sure to ask. Give out your resume. Underline your contact information your graduation date and write a note about what you discussed to help the recruiter remember you.
Databases can range from small shopping lists to a huge picture gallery with mountains of information. Computers using a MySQL server can easily manage the large amounts of data. The language itself is very fast and reliable preventing any worries you may have of losing the data in the system.
After Your Test 1. Stretch Again Just like exercise most long term problem develop during the resting period. Make sure that you stretch the following day and maybe every day to prevent any cramping in the future. Other than that relax and celebrate, you just wrote a great essay!
2. Houston, we have a problem If you are having a serious problem with cramping then talk with your professor about it. Some cramping issues can be hereditary while others are developed over time. It should not matter if you in a St. George college or at Oxford professors will want to help you succeed so speak with them after class and arrange for different accommodations that will allow you to take the test without causing yourself injury.
