safety Tips for Bikers
someone else's experiences. You may already know some of them but it
is good to get refreshed...
1. [Vision] Wear proper eye safety gear at night, so that the Lights
of incoming vehicles don't flash right into your eyes. When buying
shades try buying those through which you can look at the sun
straight for 1 min or so. Wear clear glasses at night at any case,
chances are that a insect might hit you in the eye... Our hand's
natural reflex is to to rub the eye and imagine doing so while
whistling at a speed of 100kms in middle of a highway!
2. [Ghat Roads] Do you switch the engine off or put it in neutral
while descending a hill? This is an absolute no! First reason, in
neutral gear there will be no engine braking - if the slope
increases suddenly then your will not be able to anticipate your
braking and bad things can happen. Second reason, if you approach a
plain surface and if you need to overtake a truck or something, you
will not be able to do so. Generally speaking, you will not be able
to anticipate the behaviour of the vehicle when it is turned off.
So never do it.
3. [Stability] Look out for cow dung, cricket ball sized stones,
rounded pipes or even bundles of cloth. Enough to tip you over in a
flip of eye. Also try avoiding hitting out small animals, they tend
to lock up in the rear tire.
4. [Overtaking] Never overtake from wrong side. If some vehicle
approaching from the opposite derection goes wary, the vehicle you
are overtaking will move to the left naturally which is extremely
risky for you. Also, don't overtake if overtaking lands you on a road
which is joined by another road. Chances are another vehicles may
just cut in at that moment.
5. [Being Human] Always help accident cases, nowadays the law is
quite liberal. So you won't be harassed by anyone. Imagine you or
your near dear ones lying on the road wounded and others just
passing by casually.
6. [Turning] Always use indicators to signal you turning, at least
a few meters from your actual turning point. Sticking out a wide
hand when turning, can be risky in two ways, you can hurt yourself
by a close ongoing vehicle and also you cannot a control a bike
with one hand.
7. [Staying Cool] Some vehicles are driven by mad people. They honk
the horns in a rude manner and flash the high beams wildly. Never
lose your cool in such situations. If you move suddenly, then other
vehicles would not have anticipated your move. Give way to them
slowly. Such drivers are also very attentive and hence staying
where you are will not harm you (except your ears if he is honking
so badly!).
Remember: Expecting that you will not to run into an accident
because you drive safe, is like expecting the lion not to eat you
because you are a vegetarian! India is yet to come up with strict
rules for the roads like US... until then our safety is in our
hands!

3 ways to customize your resume to get the job that you want
While most resumes appear to look the same on the surface, there are key areas that differentiate well-written winning resumes from those that never make it into the hands of the hiring managers. To customize your resume for the job that you want, pay attention to the following three elements: resume style, career objective, and personal profile.
The layout and the style of your resume are as important as the information you are including about your experience and qualifications. The two most commonly used resume styles are chronological and functional. Chronological resume calls for listing your professional expertise in order, much like the name implies, and is used those with some to extensive professional experience. Functional resume showcases your experience by the type of qualifications you have, and is typically used by those lacking professional experience or those changing careers. While there are no set rules on determining the best resume style to use, it is important to keep in mind that the resume format can help or hurt your chances to put your best foot forward. You will want to pick the format that will best highlight your qualifications and your experience. Thus, it is important to understand the difference between the two, as well as research which format is more preferred in the field of your choice.
Career objective is very important to your resume.
While there is an ongoing debate about the need for listing your objective on your resume, choosing to include this goal statement shows that you have given your professional growth some serious thought. Consider your career objective as the first impression you make on your potential employer. Make sure that your goals are specific and directional in terms of industry, position title, and future professional achievements. Most people make a mistake of including generic statements under their career objective. To be effective, your statement must tell a potential employer that you know what kind of job you want, what experience you have in order to get the position, and what you are willing do to become a successful professional with the company.
While your career objective tells your potential employer why you are applying for the job at their organization, your professional profile sells your expertise and convinces the employer that you are the best candidate for the job. Your professional summary/profile gives you the opportunity to differentiate yourself, and give your employer an insight into you. Two commonly made mistakes for this section of the resume are poor writing and inclusion of personal information. Note that your age, ethnicity, gender, religious affiliations, etc. do not make a difference on how you handle yourself as a business professional. Such information should never be included in a resume, or any job application materials (even when asked on a job application, such information is optional and is for demographics study only). Make sure this section is well written and error-free. Strong positive statements about your expertise will give a good first impression to your employer. Make sure to proofread the whole resume, with emphasis to this section, as it appears at the start of your resume. An effective personal statement must leave your employer with an impression that you are confident, credible, and professional.
Keep in mind – your resume is your sales pitch, demonstrating your qualifications and experience to your potential employer. Seize the opportunity to put your best foot forward and you will reap the rewards.
