Undergraduate / Common App short answer - "Ford technician" [3]
I always had a hobby for cars but writing "Ford technician" on a résumé at age 17 is not what I expected to do before college. In February 2008, I worked in the service department as an intern at Sherwood Ford of Salisbury. I spent seven months fixing automobiles. I spent most of my time working with Seng Tong, a certified transmission technician. From basic diagnostic steps to taking out a transmission, Tong walked me through various maintenance procedures. One thing he stressed in every procedure was the importance of every little detail. He said "a human's life is more valuable than a car and that is the purpose of fix cars." If one little detail was overlooked, we could seriously injure a customer as well as others. Tong compared the service department with a hospital. Technicians were doctors, cars were patients, and I was a nurse working to become a doctor.
This is due today so please help!
thank you
it is a 150 word max but i am over!
