INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cedar has anti-fungal properties and is often used to deodorize clothes. The insoles would stay in your shoes, while the chips would need to be inserted at night and removed in the morning. Odor-controlling insoles can be cut to fit the shape of your sole, and come in several different colors. These work well for sandals, high heels or open-toed shoes. Secure the insole with small strips of double-sided tape or dabs of rubber cement. These will help the insole stay in place while keeping it easily removable. Linings containing silver are anti-microbial and can inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Simply place a couple of dryer sheets in your shoes while you use them. These instantly deodorize the smell.

SUMMARY: Use cedar insoles or chips. Put in odor-control insoles. Use silver shoe linings. Use dryer sheets.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Part of being self-reliant is undertaking certain responsibilities that enable people to experience independence.  Doing simple things such as paying your bills on time, cleaning up after yourself if you make a mess, and going to work or school on time can help you feel more responsible and self-reliant. If you do not have a job, you have the responsibility of looking for a job, seeking education that will lead to employment, or starting your own business. Information is power, so having information will give you the power to make your own decisions and assert your independence.  Try to be well-rounded and keep up with information about what is going on in your place of business or school, your town, your state, your country, and the world. For example, knowing that a local ordinance determining whether backyard chickens can be kept in your area is coming up for a vote can give you the opportunity to lobby and vote for the ability to keep chickens for fresh eggs. You should have a sense of direction.  Something has to drive you.  For example, if you are attending college, you should at least have an idea of what you want to do after college and what you are passionate about studying.  You should also try to set goals for yourself.  Try setting short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals, then be realistic about what you need to do to meet those goals.  Seek out a career counselor if you are not sure what you’d like to do with your life.  Career self-assessments can be found online. Many websites like this one or this one can offer helpful guidance. Most schools have career centers or guidance counselors available to all enrolled students.  These resources can help you shape a vision for your future. Allowing people to make your decisions for you is essentially giving up your independence and self-reliance.  Assert yourself and make decisions for yourself based on your goals and dreams.  While it is important to be considerate towards other people, it is not necessary to give up your ability to make your own decisions.  For example, if you are looking for a place to live with a roommate, be sure you are making decisions based on what is best for you.  If you prefer to rent a house and have a bit more independence than an apartment building, stick to your preference and do not allow your roommate to talk you into something that you don’t want to do. It can also be common for some people to allow their spouses or significant others to make all the decisions in their relationship, from where to go out to eat to where to live and what kind of car to buy.  Changing the dynamic of such a relationship may strain the relationship, but having a part in the decision making at both daily and long-term levels can give you greater control of your life.
Summary: Assume responsibility for your life. Be informed. Know where you are going. Make your own decisions.

The default font size for most word processing applications is 12-point. If you've edited the content of your resume as much as possible and you still need to cut some space, consider lowering the font size to 10.5 or even 10. Avoid going any smaller than that, however, because it will make your resume hard to read.  Make all the text in your resume the same size, rather than having the names of employers or schools larger than the rest of the text. If the labels or headings for the sections of your resume are larger than the rest of your text, you can also experiment with making them smaller. Try making them the same size as everything else. A good resume uses white space to break up text and allow for easy scanning. However, too much white space can push your resume over one page. You can adjust the line spacing in the text formatting menu on your word processing app. Decrease line spacing by the smallest increment possible. Make sure your words don't overlap and can still be read. You may want to print out your resume and see how it looks. Most word processing apps default to 1 in (2.5 cm)margins all the way around. However, you can typically get away with decreasing those margins to give more room for the text. Test your document by printing it before you send it to the potential employer to make sure it prints okay. Particularly if you're emailing your resume, there's a good chance your resume will never be printed on paper. However, you still want to make sure it's printable if necessary. Your word processing app defaults to a single column. However, it's possible to create 2 or even 3 columns on a document. If you're finding it difficult to get your resume down to a page, you may be able to use a 2 column or 3 column layout to get more information on the page. If you want to use multiple columns, you're better off starting a new document rather than simply converting the document you have. You'll have an easier time arranging your information correctly.

One-sentence summary -- Decrease your font size to no less than 10-point. Tighten up the line spacing. Cut your margins in half. Experiment with multiple columns.
