TIPS ON HOW TO AVOID FALLING VICTIM OF LIGHTNING WHEN GOING FOR JOB INTERVIEW OR WORK ESPECIALLY DURING THIS RAINNING SEASON

  

Raining season has come again and we are going to experience certain events that go with it.  Some are good others are bad and worrisome. Good ones are bomber harvest of agricultural products that come with it that are found necessary for healthy living other ones are frightening which include erosion, flooding and lightning.  My concern in this write-up is about lightning and how it can affect us if certain cautions are not made.  Though, one may say it is not directly within the jurisdiction of, but I found it necessary because it can indirectly affect us when we go out to attend interview or work. 

The under mentioned tips will be found useful to avoid falling victim of lightening either we are going on interview job appointment or work:

·         Stay indoor away from windows or standing before mirror or any other objects that can conduct lightening

·         Avoid staying under trees, tall buildings and uncompleted buildings.  They are target of lightening.

·         This is not the best time for picnics. If you are in open place, don’t hold or carry any iron or metal. They are conduct of electricity.  Always crouch down as low as possible.

·         If you are going to work or job interview in your car or public transport wind up or ask the driver to pack especially if it is lightening and thundering seriously; found a safe place to hide until it goes down.  This is also not the time you will ride a bicycle or motorcycle.

·         Avoid raining biting you because if you are wet and still stay in water is a good conductor of electricity.  Find a dry place to hide when the rain stops you can continue your journey.

·         If you are at home not living for work yet, do not do any washing such as plates, dishes and laundry.

·         Don’t use any electrical or electronics appliances like phone or computer if you see any sign of thundering or lightening?  They can conduct electricity.

My dear friends remain safe. This is raining season because a person who is alive is the one that will be thinking of going for interview or job.  Remain bless and thank you.
