भारत का पहला रेलयात्री- भारत में रेलगाड़ी में बैठने वाला पहला व्यक्ति

हालाँकि सन 1858 से पहले कई भारतियों ने अपनी इंग्लैंड यात्रा के समय रेलयात्रा की होगी, जैसे कि राजा राममोहन राय सन 1830 में इंग्लैंड गये थे मगर यहाँ हम बात कर रहें है कि भारत में रेल में बैठने वाले पहले भारतीय कौन थे।

तो पहले भारतीय कौन हो सकते है ?

रेलयात्री ने इतिहास के पृष्ठों में गहरी पड़ताल कर पाया:

भारत में पहली यात्री रेल 17 अप्रैल 1853 को बोरीबंदर (मुम्बई का हिस्सा) से ठाणे के बीच चली थी (ठाणे को ब्रिटिशों द्वारा तानाह के नाम से पुकारा जाता था)।

हमें विश्वास हैं कि मुम्बई और ठाणे के बीच चली पहली रेल में कई लोग बैठे थे। उन्हीं में से एक जाने-माने व्यक्ति थे- जगन्नाथ शंकरसेठ- एक समृद्ध परोपकारी जो जमशेदजी जीजाभाई के साथ- भारत में रेलवे निर्माण की दिशा में पर्याप्त राशि दान कर चुके थे।

जगन्नाथ सेठ को विशाल भारतीय प्रायद्वीप रेल (भारतीय मध्य रेलवे) का निर्देशक होने के नाते पहली भारतीय रेल में यात्रा का अधिकार अर्जित था। पहली रेल संचालन की प्रेस रिपोर्ट में भी श्री जगन्नाथ शंकरसेठ का नाम अतिथि यात्रियों में उल्लेखित है जबकि श्री जमशेदजी जीजाभाई का नाम उस प्रेस रिपोर्ट में अंकित नहीं है।

8 POINTS TO REMOVE FROM YOUR RESUME

1:-

“RESUME” OR “CURRICULUM VITAE” OR “CV” AT THE TOP OF THE RESUME

When you are applying for a job it goes without saying that you are including your resume. So do you really have to spell it out for them? Including this in heading adds no value to your application. So, first thing first, delete the heading which reads “Resume” and replace it with your name. 

2:-

OBJECTIVE STATEMENTS

Does your resume have a generic objective statement or a rambling quote on top of it? While you think that it will add depth to your resume, the reality is that the recruiters are very well aware that your resume is written to target their jobs and that you have the skills and experience for that particular role. Stand out of the crowd by replacing the objective statement with a qualifications-based statement or introduction that highlights to the reader what you have to offer to their organisation. 

3:-

HOBBIES
A big no to this one! Don’t mention your interest and hobbies if it has no relevance to your applied job. Space on a resume is at premium, so save the space for pertinent information and use it wisely. 

4:-

WORK GAPS 

A gap in work history creates a negative reflection about your work – at least in India. While there may be valid reasons for the gap, the tendency is to think otherwise. A shorter work gap can always be discussed during the course of face-to-face interview. It’s always safe, to be honest during a one-on-one conversation. 

5:-

EVERY JOB YOU HAVE EVER HAD 

The past experiences of your career can be collated with one line per job showing employer name, job title and dates. Try not to display every job you have ever you have done. There are chances that the last five work experiences may only be considered while shortlisting your resume. Remember, not the quantity but the quality of work done is all that matters. 

6:-

SALARY EXPECTATIONS 

A pre-hand salary demand or expectation on the resume can be seen as too pesky by the employer and could be rejected on that basis. Some things can always be done off the record with smart communication. 

7:-

TOO MUCH CONTACT INFORMATION

You need not display a lot of personal information. The recruiter has nothing to do with your marital status, number of kids, religion, race, country of birth, passport details etc. Your name, email address, contact number and address is all you need to share initially. For a better understanding of your professional profile, you can share the LinkedIn profile link. 

8:-

REFERENCES 

It’s important to have references from your previous job and these are checked only after you have been shortlisted for an interview. The business references do not belong on the resume unless specifically asked by the employer.

After all, you're about to convince your boss that you deserve a raise - because you do.

Take on more responsibility

More responsibility will often increase your wage - or at least give you a more stable basis of which to justify asking for a pay rise. Climbing the ladder in many corporate jobs will often get you a pay rise, but make sure that the salary justifies the added pressures.

Build good networks

Networking is crucial in today's time. Online mediums gives the current workforce greater scope to build a good network. When you know people across the office(s) and people know you too, it increases your chances of getting a good hike.

Upskilling self
