Project 5 ReDesign

Here is my redesign for my package. I took another look at air fresheners and odor eliminators. I found that almost every package has light pastel colors, lots of light blues, pinks, purples, etc. I shrunk the nose a tad and clothespin, but I felt if I made the clothespin smaller, you might not be able to really tell what it is. Now it’s time to actually construct it.

Show & Tell - Castle Crashers

I really like how the instructions are clean and simple. The photos are easy to follow and their dead pet's head on a stick is ultra cute.

How to Apply for A Job - A 3 Step Process

The State of West Virgina whittled the process down to 3 easy steps.


1. Review the Open Jobs and Read the Job Posting.
You must apply on or before any closing date. Do NOT apply if you do not meet ALL minimum qualifications. The posting will tell you if there is an examination.


2. Complete an Online Application. From the online Job Posting, click the "Apply" link.

If this is the first time you are applying using the online job application system, you will need to create a secure account and select a Username and Password. After your account has been created, Click the Create Application link to start your application. You MUST complete all parts of the application, even if you include a resume. Your application can be saved and used to apply for more than one open job posting. Each time you submit an application, we receive an electronic copy of your application. Changes you make to your account application do NOT change previously submitted applications. If you must update a previous application, notify us by letter. For more detailed information about creating an account and an online application, please view this brief Employment Application Guide.
If you cannot apply online due to disability or other valid reason, call our office for paper application instructions.

Note: The posting will indicate if you are required to send copies of any post-secondary education or license verification (diploma, certificate). For veterans preference, include copy of DD214. [Important Application Tips]


3. Examinations and Application Assessments.
Most jobs do not require written testing. If a written test is required, you MUST apply BEFORE testing. If you apply online do NOT take a copy of the online application to the test center. Paper application users, MUST take the completed paper application to a test center on the day of the test. No testing appointment is necessary, but be sure to check the test schedules.
THERE IS NO FEE FOR TESTING. Cell phones are prohibited. A photo ID is required.

If you need accommodations for a disability, call our office. If no written test is required simply submit your application online. Paper applications may take longer to process. We cannot accept applications by email. Scores for jobs that do not require a written test are based on a rating of your training and experience.

BE SURE TO READ ANY SPECIAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ONLINE JOB POSTING.

Show and Tell: Yogi Tea


Our story begins in 1969 when Yogi Bhajan, an inspired and inspiring teacher of holistic living, started teaching yoga in America. He shared the wisdom and knowledge of Ayurveda and healthy living that he had mastered in India with his students while serving a specially spiced tea, which they affectionately named "Yogi Tea." The recipe contained five traditional Ayurvedic spices: cardamom seed, cinnamon bark, clove bud, ginger root and black pepper. When blended and brewed, these delicious spices leave you feeling vibrant and alive, while boosting overall well-being. Intrigued by the complex flavor and inherent health benefits of this unique combination of spices, it wasn't long before several of the yogi's students were inspired to brew their own "Yogi Tea."

In 1984 this grassroots endeavor blossomed into the Yogi Tea Company. Packages of the rough, dried spices began to appear in natural foods stores throughout Southern California. As demand increased, the spices were more finely ground, packaged and sealed into individual tea bags. By 1986, Yogi Tea was distributed nationwide in three flavors.

Yogi has continued to expand and evolve our tea offerings to address specific health needs by creating specialized herbal formulas, blended for both flavor and purpose. Today, Yogi has nearly 60 tea blends, many of which are created using the five original Yogi spices.

Yogi's expertise in sensual well-being has inspired our newest offering, Yogi cereals. As with our teas, Yogi cereals are created with purpose and blended to enhance the health of mind, body and spirit, while enlivening your senses with delightful flavors.

Whether you need to jump start the day, recover from physical activity, calm your mind and clarify thoughts, or revive the spirit and reflect, there's a Yogi tea or cereal to meet your specific needs.

The holistic teachings of Ayurveda and healthy living are the inspiration behind Yogi. These teachings continue to inform how we develop our products, and we honor and reflect them through the Yogi Principles.
Yogi Principles

* Tasting great is essential, but it isn't enough. If what we make doesn't taste great and leave you feeling great, we won't make it.
* We think before we blend or bake. How will our recipes work with body and mind?
* Health is found in nature. We work with what nature already offers rather than trying to concoct it. We don't have laboratories, we have kitchens.
* Creative combinations can optimize what nature has to offer. Ever added Goji Berry to Ginger? They work together to produce a remarkably fresh and innovative taste... and a remarkable level of energy.
* Whenever possible, we work with wholes, not parts. We don't add vitamin C. We add Indian Gooseberry, which is naturally rich in vitamin C.
