Blog 11: Mentorship 10 Hours
1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
I am doing my mentorship at my mentors office at R&R Foam Sales and i'm usually on the road with my mentor.
2. Who is your contact?
Manuel Martin
3. How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?
32 hours 30 minutes
4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
My mentor took me on the road with him for the most part. We did lots of catching up with clients by making sure they were satisfied with our service and we wanted to make sure that they had enough supply to last them a while. Those who were running out of supply we made orders for them. I did a lot of paper work due to misunderstanding an employee had. I had to change the prices for the thickness of each foam. It turned out we owed money to the client because we had agreed to a lower price. I also called into the company to place orders for call that my menor got.

Blog 10: Senior Project: The Holiday
1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is
break or we are in school. What did you over the break with your senior
project?
I did about 20 hours of mentorship during my break. Most of my mentorship took place at a company that my mentor works for. I did a lot of computer work as well as answer phone calls. I took many orders and made invoices for the companys records.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing I learned was how important it is to multitask. For example I had to answer calls and do computer work at the same time. It was difficult to manage both because most of the calls that were coming in were clients that were asking for orders. Putting orders in the the system QuickBooks isn't as simple as I thought it would be.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
I woud talk to my mentor because he has really given me a variety of answers that personally I think are very helpful already. He is making my senior project a bit easier because of the work he has me do during my mentorship. He is also very easy to understand and provides me with examples of scenarios to give me a better idea of the things that he encounters.
