Blog 11: Mentorship 10 Hours

1. I'm doing my mentorship at LA Water & Power facility in Sun Valley.
2. Mark Werndorf
3. So far I have completed 45 hours
4. I spent the day hauling branches and logs out of the property and into the load up truck.

Blog 10: Senior Project: the holiday

1. I did the homework that my mentor left me which was to crumble news paper. Another thing that I did and liked was that I had all the time that I needed to read through my research and take my time to understand it.
2. This career choice is unique because of all the tools and skills/knowledge one must obtain and learn to use with care to be able to work and stay "safe" and out of harms reach. This stood out for me because it came from the "Guide Book for Lineman & Cable man" that my mentor gave me.
3. If I had to make a 10 question interview I'd choose to interview my mentor Mark Werndorf simply because his life is devoted to teaching even the most experienced linemen on up to date tools and the knowledge and attitude one needs to endure this type of job.

EQ

1.
 "I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ."
My EQ: How can I best reduce the risk of an injury or fatality while best completing the task given to me?

2.

(a) I feel like this EQ is somewhat well structured and isn't a yes or no question. It has a good point because 
here are many answers/opinions that can go in it with plenty of research to back up those answers & opinions. 

(b) The EQ is very strong because it offers a good 'fight' or argument which can have many opinions backed up with a lot of research. Isn't a yes or no question. 


(c) This EQ might need some rethinking because it doesn't feel as strong, but it does offer a variety of answers because through history there have been many hair styles, but also its good that its not a yes or no question. 


(d) Its focusing on a certain part of this career and maybe this EQ can be rewritten to ask something more in depth about the whole career not just one task that is given in this career, but its still well structured, and it shows that one can find a lot of research for it. But also it isnt a yes or no question. 


3.

How can I reassure the safety of my crew and I while securely completing the job?
