Sweep floors, clean parts, whatever don't stand around texting or checking facebook. 5 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81956-xtreme-ford-tuning-apprenticeship-tips/#findComment-1295920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre an apprentice, *beep* ups are expected. Never try and hide a *beep* up. 4 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81956-xtreme-ford-tuning-apprenticeship-tips/#findComment-1295925 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 14y 7m 26d Gender: Male Posted 16/09/12 08:57 PM Share Posted 16/09/12 08:57 PM Keep a notebook, write down what you done and how it was done. That way you have notes to go back on, you will not always remember everything. It's always good to keep a record of how it was done for future reference. Most important, respect your boss, and listen what he has to say, lay a foundation of trust with him as that is the most important thing, you want the boss to have 100% trust in what you do. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81956-xtreme-ford-tuning-apprenticeship-tips/#findComment-1295942 Share on other sites More sharing options...
