Your professors are a great source for finding work. Ask them if they know of any job openings or if they have an industry connection who might be able to help you. Your school's career advisor might also be able to assist you in finding a job. If your sources at school cannot help, or if you're unsatisfied with their recommendations, check online. Employment sites like https://www.monster.com and https://www.Indeed.com are useful for finding jobs of all sorts, including engineering positions. Engineering organizations often post jobs online or connect recent graduates with work opportunities. Check out the websites of engineering organizations in your area for more information. Your resume should not contain every work experience you've ever had. Focus on your education, your relevant work experience, and any relevant internships or volunteer roles you've had. Emphasize the ways in which your skills match the job description. For instance, if the job you're applying for is looking for someone with experience in the automotive industry and you have experience working for an auto parts manufacturer, you should include this experience in your cover letter and in your resume. List your engineering skills and specialties. You can also list relevant coursework, if applicable. Open the letter with a compelling introductory paragraph that explains why you want the job and why you're the right person for it. Then, tailor your cover letter for the job. For instance, if your resume refers to an internship at an auto parts manufacturing factory, you should delve into more depth in your cover letter. Explain what your specific responsibilities were and how you made a positive contribution to the company in your time there.

Summary: Find work opportunities through your network or online. Make a relevant resume. Expound on your experience in your cover letter.

Fatal accidents are another common cause of premature death in the U.S., with motor vehicle crashes leading to about 2.2 million Americans being treated in ER departments in 2012. Although modern air bags are a great safety feature and contribute to saving lives, seat belts are still considered an essential injury prevention tool because they prevent people from being thrown from their vehicles. It's estimated that seat belt use reduces serious crash-related injuries and deaths by about 50%. As such, buckle up every time you enter a vehicle if you want to reduce the risk of premature death from injury. Teenagers between the ages of 1320 years are the least likely group to wear seat belts, and therefore, tend to suffer more fatal injuries. Men are about 10% less likely to wear seat belts compared to women. Another way of reducing fatal injuries in car accidents is to drive a large vehicle because they tend to ride higher and are heavier, which are both protective factors. Another simple way of preventing fatal trauma, particularly to the head, is wearing a helmet while on a motorcycle or bicycle. In 2010, about 42% of motorcyclists who were fatally injured were not wearing helmets. In that same year, it's estimated that helmets saved over 1,500 riders' lives, but some states don't require their use so some riders prefer to legally go without. The human skull feels pretty strong, but the brain is very susceptible to injury because it bounces around inside the skull in response to trauma. High speeds or severe impacts are not needed to damage the brain and cause death. This explains why bicyclists can die from head injuries, but rarely anything else. Helmets don't protect from whiplash-like trauma, but they are great at deflecting or dispersing blunt trauma. On average, U.S. states with universal helmet laws save eight times more riders' lives each year compared to states without any helmet laws. It's not enough just to wear a helmet make sure it's fastened tightly to your head. Also, wear a helmet designed for horseback riding when riding horses. Concussion and trauma can occur if you fall off of a horse without a helmet. It should be clear that drinking alcohol does not mix with driving a car or operating heavy equipment, yet many people continue to do it because alcohol distorts a person's judgement and ability to think clearly. In the U.S., an estimated 32% of fatal car accidents involve an intoxicated driver (or pedestrian). In addition to poor judgement, driving intoxicated is dangerous because alcohol reduces reaction times, decision making and coordination. Approximately 13,000 Americans are killed each year in alcohol-related accidents. All U.S. states have adopted .08% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level as the legal limit for driving a car (aged 21 years or older), although most accidents occur with .10% BAC levels. In addition to not drinking, avoid talking on a cell phone or texting while driving (even with a hands-free set) as it takes your attention off the road. Another combination that doesn't mix is drinking alcohol while taking drugs (illicit, prescription or even over-the-counter types). The by-products of alcohol and all drugs are metabolized in the liver, and sometimes when certain compounds are mixed together a toxic reaction occurs that can severely injure or completely shut down the liver, leading quickly to death. As little as a couple of pain relievers, such as acetaminophen, mixed with a glass a wine can potentially lead to liver failure. In addition, combining alcohol with drugs often leads to dramatic changes in perception, behavior, mood, breathing rate, blood pressure, and other parameters, which can all increase the risk of dying prematurely. As such, never combine the two at the same time. It takes hours for most drugs to be processed by the liver, so make sure to time the addition of alcohol safely at least three hours later as a general rule and sometimes as long as six hours. Sometimes drugs are taken because of the effects of alcohol (such as an aspirin for a hangover-type headache). Thus, quitting drinking may remove the need to take certain medications altogether.

Summary: Wear your seat belt. Wear a motorcycle and/or bicycle helmet. Don't drink and drive. Don't mix alcohol with drugs.

Practice on a low beam, or even a line on the floor until you feel confident; falling from a great height can hurt badly. If you're on a high balance beam and feel like you're about to fall, just jump off, it's better to be safe then sorry when you're on a balance beam. Before you get up on a balance beam or tightrope, let your mind flow and concentrate on balancing by repeating "balance" in your head. Good concentration will lead to fewer falls. Always place a mat or something squishy under you, just in case you do fall. Pointing your toes is a wonderful way for you to not fall, because it stiffens your calf muscles as you walk on the beam.

Summary: Start small. Use your arms. Concentrate. Give yourself a soft landing. Point your toes.

If you feel comfortable using your non-dominant hand, you can crack two eggs at once. Secure an egg in either hand. Hold the eggs in whatever fashion is comfortable for you, but make sure your pinky and ring finger touch the bottom of the egg. You may have to hold your egg slightly differently in either hand, which should not affect the process of cracking the eggs.
Summary: Take two eggs in either hand.
