What ELSE should twentysomethings know once we are out in the real world? After all, the purpose of my blog, News To Live By, is to use lessons in the day’s top stories to get better at our jobs.  \nMy resulting column,“25 Things Every Young Professional Should Know by Age 25 ,” is a comprehensive list of the leadership skills and practical tips all Millennials should know. After it spurred healthy conversation on the Web, I decided to expand on the 25 points by writing an e-book.  \nMany, MANY thanks to the people who support News To Live By and each of you reading right now.  \nOK, enough small talk. Let’s dive into the “25 Things.”  \nNTLB  \nto live by  \nCopyright © 2013 Danny Rubin.

Why? They are overused or have become cliché .  \n• Amazing (since we use it for every scenario, it’s lost all meaning)  \n• Ridiculous (replace with words like ‘unbelievable’ or ‘incredible’)  \n• Very (can always remove ‘very’ before the adjective; adds very little to the sentence) ~~ ~~  \n• In order (don’t need‘in order’ as in ‘I wrote this sentence in order to prove a point’) ~~ ~~  \n• That (the greatest space-filler of them all; the classic word that you almost never need) ~~ ~~  \nRemove these words, and you will quickly develop stronger cover letters, resumes, work emails and business presentations.  \nGive it a try.  \nYou will definitely see a difference.  \n 24.   \nRead an apartment lease before you sign. ALL of it.  \nPaperwork. Contracts. Fine print. Red tape.  \nSnore.  \nNo one likes to pore over 20 pages of apartment lease minutiae. It’s enough to put you to sleep. But if you don’t look closely, you might get burned. Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you know important details like:  \n• How does the security deposit work when you move out? Are you able to recoup all the money?  \n• Could your lease become month-to-month at a certain point?  \n• What are rules for moving in and out?  \n• Are there certain places (or times of day) where you can’t park a car?  \n• What’s the policy on pets?  \n• How late can you make noise (like for a party)?  \n• Above all: are you able to break your lease?  \nAt 25 years old, you have probably already signed several leases. When you make your next move, take your time with the tricky legal language. Ask a lawyer friend or someone in property management to review the application. Armed with the facts, you can affix your signature with confidence.  \nIf only an apartment lease could guarantee neighbors who won’t freak out over loud music.  \nOh well. Can’t win ‘em all.  \n 23.   \nAn Excel PivotTable will change your life.  \nDuring the fall of 2010, I worked at an online ad agency in Washington, DC. Our job was to place political ads on major newspaper Websites leading up to the congressional midterm elections. Prior to the job, I had no clue about the world of online advertising. I took a chance (see more on risk taking in point \\#2) and soon found myself elbow-deep i","cbCaivrNlVnXGL6f","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivrNlVnXGL6f","pdf",819855,29,"English","# 25 Things Every Young Professional Should Know by Age 25\n## Writing better: avoiding overused words\n## Review important paperwork before signing\n## Use Excel PivotTables to analyze data\n## Craft cover letters with story and relevance","[{\"question\":\"What writing improvements does the ebook recommend for job search materials?\",\"answer\":\"It advises removing overused filler words and clichés, such as “amazing,” “ridiculous,” “very,” “in order,” and “that,” to strengthen cover letters, resumes, work emails, and business presentations.\"},{\"question\":\"Why should you read an apartment lease before signing?\",\"answer\":\"The ebook emphasizes reading all terms, including security deposit rules, lease-change possibilities, moving policies, parking restrictions, pet policies, noise timing, and whether you can break the lease.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the ebook suggest using Excel PivotTables for work?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that PivotTables let you analyze and summarize large datasets quickly, rotate row and column headings, and avoid complicated formulas to streamline time-consuming tasks.\"}]","25 Things Every Young Professional Should Know by Age 25 | PDF",10]
