I'd go for the no, since you don't have a car licence. But I woud be writing on the form that I have a bike licence.
Problem solved.  |

depends on the job actually
In that my bosses are kind of pleased I ride a motorbike , since they only have to pay me 25p per mile for when I go out on audit,
Also because I park for free in most places I don't claim expenses for parking either....
Kind of cramped though , more than once I've had my audit junior on the back , two paniers full of audit gear miles and miles on the motorway..
I'd probably say I have my own transport......
As a solicitor trainee acquaintance of mine can't get a job as she can't drive and thus cannot go out to clients, by virtue of being able to move about I'm ranked higher than some of the established folks at my work place.
That said my work place is in trouble.... they 'accidentally' forgot to run the pay roll recently delaying our pay packets by a week, nobody believes them its more a case of our clients not paying and many DDs bouncing... ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

I'm thinking more the online ones. Usually if paper etc I add motorbike. The clues on my CV too as main hobby.
but if its an online form with yes or no choice, then its a bit harder  ____________________ China traffic/travel bike vid - When I make a sweeping statement, please add the word 'statistically' in to the sentence before you bitch...

I left it blank, and they asked me yesterday in an interview. I told them I had a full bike license and I'm taking driving lessons now. They seemed impressed. Guess they were waiting to hear I haven't got a license at all.  ____________________ 2005 Yamaha R6 |

I filled in an application for the RAF under the watchful eye of a Sgt. When it came to "Do you have a full UK driving licence" I told him I only had motorcycle entitlement and he told me to tick "Yes".

They only ask if you have a DRIVING license, not a car license. So I would put yes.  |

I've wondered about this in the past and generally haven't included them; however talking to some people who are/have been managers interviewing, they've suggested that they like to see some interests; it can give them something to easily start conversation with you in other areas to gain more of an idea about you. Of course, that helps if you have something matching their interests.
I think I didn't have any down for the last job I applied for and they did ask me in the interview.
I'd try not to make a big think out of motorbikes unless they are into them too; I think I went with mountain biking and off-road motorbiking. I think in that case I did come across perhaps a bit too 'extreme' in general with other stuff; will remember to cool it down a bit more next time. |
I guess it also has to do with what sort of job you are applying for. Some (like accountancy for example) are a bit more 'stuffier' than others. For example, if I put that I enjoyed doing trackdays at the weekend, then they would probably get concerned that I may not turn up on Monday, or are just a bit of a risk taker. Not that good for what should be a fairly conservative, reliable role.
If I was applying for a job at a games studio, or some other more 'creative' industry I would tend to be a little more flamboyant with what to include. All about the audience.
In general, however, I still maintain that you lose no points for not including it, but there is the potential to lose points if you do.
I'm going to stop rambling now. |
