Now this sounds like an interesting role: Drivers wanted for the Harry Potter rail route! If this was actually in the Wizarding World Universe…   No previous experience is required, so if you don't have experience as a train driver how can you demonstrate your suitability? Look at the key requirements of the job and highlight how they match these and evidence this through examples from previous experience.   🪄You must be over 21 years old (you can start training at 20). This would be an exception to the rule and you can add your age to your CV/cover letter or mention it in the profile, as it’s asked for in the job ad. Sadly that means Harry, Ron and Hermione can’t apply, but Hagrid could. If this is a key stipulation on the job ad and you don’t meet this requirement, don’t apply. 🪄A good communicator. Think of examples when you have conveyed important information and maintained a strong connection with your colleagues (wizards) and customers (magical creatures). Example: Created a go-to destination for all things magical pet-related by welcoming customers to the pet shop with enthusiasm, listening to requirements, providing expert and clear advice, and organising on-site information-sharing events. 🪄Good problem solving What riddles have you solved in previous roles, your education, or voluntary work? Example: As an apprentice wizard, saved the Whispering Willow that forest creatures relied on for protection by working with the elders to find a rare crystal that would break the curse. 🪄Experience working in an equally responsible role where safety is paramount. Can you provide an example of where you have been involved in safety? Example: Executed a spectacular display of magic and a safe and memorable event as a volunteer at the village Magical Fireworks Festival by implementing safety protocols, training festival wizard staff on emergency procedures, and putting in place contingency plans. 🪄A flexible approach is vital as shift and weekend working will be required. What jobs have you done that required flexibility and/or shift work? Example: As a magical pet shop assistant, embraced a schedule that included weekend and evening shifts so could care for nocturnal owlets and off-duty wizards could buy their magical pet supplies at times convenient to them. ttps://lnkd.in/ekBnhSJw

Here's an exact quote from an email a desperate wife sent me to ask if I could help her very honorable and courageous husband keep his job. " My husband works for a major rental company, he is a mechanic and has been with the company for 4-years now, he works on what they call dirt equipment and has not worked on high reach equipment because he has no training what so ever and does not want want to be responsible for accidents that might occur because of his inexperience. But he was told to work on a 60 ft boom last week and refused to do it because of this his district manager told the store manager to fire him. His job is very much on the line because of this situation and we are trying to find some kind of information to determine if there is any qualifications that you need to be able to work on this type of equipment. Any information your could give us on this matter would be helpful, he does not want to put any operators life on the line because his bosses and company are more worried about making money instead of safety." This profoundly touching email, almost brought me to tears. I am not going to get into what I did to try to help this loving wife and her husband, because the message is not about me. However, I do have a few things to say about this situation: 1. When you read about these situations, which occur all too often, please refrain from opining: "how could this possibly happen, we are in America? It happens all the time because we are in America. It's proof from a broken-hearted and desperate wife that profit transcends safety. 2. It's high time state and federal safety agencies applied the same rules to the AWP (high-risk) industry as the FAA does to the aviation industry. It's time to stop allowing untrained people from working on all high-risk equipment - AWP's, cranes, bucket (utility) trucks, fire engines, amusement park rides, elevators, etc. 3. It's absolutely disgraceful that so many (not all ) of America's technical colleges score an "F" when it comes to teaching fluid power. I try to do my part to improve the situation by offering my training free for all tax-payer funded colleges. Even with free tuition some college administrators won't approve the complimentary training for their hard-working instructors because they don't have the funds to pay for airfare and accommodations. Consequently, most instructors don't get the training they desperately need. 4. This is not the first time I have heard that rental store and district managers trade safe work for profit. I hear this constantly from my students. It's time the CEO's and owners of rental companies take the role of "Undercover Boss," to learn what's happening behind the scenes. NOTE: If you are ever "forced" to work on a high-risk machine at the expense of losing your job, write a simple statement about why you don't feel you are competent to do the job and have the supervisor sign it. Take a copy home and keep it in a secure place.

QUICK-RELEASE CLASS 🪖🤓 for carpenters apprentice I’ve never been a school fan, quite the opposite, but that kind of class … I loved it!!! I was impressed by the quality of the questions those young carpenters asked! 🙋♂️🙋♀️ Ar the end, I asked them 3 questions, like a quiz, to win a tee shirt “That sh!t is good”: 1-what is the rate of the standard version of the quick release ludwighook 2-what is the range of the remote? 3-how much weight on the hook is needed to deactivate the opening mechanism (fail safe safety feature🦺) 3 students gave one correct answer So Joe, the instructor, added a last question that I do love because it gives a lot perspective on the sturdiness of this product. 4-from which industry the innovation is coming from? So what do you think, you wanna play too? Let’s say, the first who will give the 4 right answers in the comment section will get a teeshirt or a hoodie if he has already the tee shirt😁 Have wonderful day my friends👍

Talking about making people aware, conscious and knowledgeable about their behaviors in society, there’s no better way than starting with that educational trajectory as soon as the mind can absorb. Traffic training is one of the easiest and most effective ways of bringing this to the attention, moreover it can be started at an early age and be presented in a playful and therefore more acceptable manner. In this respect primary school traffic education and simple testing systems have proven to be a good track to persue: the added benefit is that this information is quite easily and effectively transferred to the parents and other elders, affording them food for thought, at least. This is also why we are a great advocate of introducing road traffic theory tests for riders of mopeds and motorcycles before they are allowed to practice with a permit on public roads. We still see that this is not a requirement in many countries, and consider this a missed opportunity of transferring the very necessary knowledge and increasing road traffic safety!

Are you prepared for Winter driving? More specifically, are you prepared if you break down or get stuck in the cold? Do you have a full tank of fuel? Are you in cell range to call for help? Part of driver training includes teaching new drivers how to prepare, if you are stranded on a hwy for hours. Perhaps you may want to consider items you think are appropriate should this happen. Stay safe out there.

Tomorrow is August 1st and the beginning of Back to School Safety Month. Take some time to talk to your school-age children about basic safety. Getting to School No matter how your child gets to school, there are risks of transportation accidents. This includes the following: Riding the bus – Ensure your child knows how to safely wait at the bus stop, as well as board and exit the bus, which includes ensuring the bus driver can see them at all times. Once they are on the bus, they should wear seat belts (which should be available) and remain seated at all times. Riding a bike or walking – Teach your child how to cross streets at crosswalks and follow traffic signals and crossing guards. Make sure they always wear a helmet when on a bicycle, and that they do not stray from their usual route. Driving to school – If your teen is driving to school or riding with another teen driver, discuss safe driving techniques. Moreover, set an example of how they should not drive impatiently or aggressively, even if they are running late.
