Provide convenient activity space, create activity conditions, and help candidates exercise conveniently. By adjusting their diet, improving their sleep quality, and arranging appropriate exercise, they can maintain a happy mood and help them be clear and energetic.

When communicating, in terms of grasping the degree, we should adhere to the concept of paying equal attention to trust and expectation, give more care in trust, and pay attention to it rather than doing it. In terms of communication skills, it is important to positively affirm the efforts and praise them for their achievements, even if they have not yet achieved the desired target results, and encourage them to see hope for success.
