Sweep floors, clean parts, whatever don't stand around texting or checking facebook. 5 Link to comment 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
