(a) I, Jack Lift, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
(b) Mostly i went to seminars that allowed me to learn more about fireworks show, but I also helped unload boxes, build A-frames, string firecrackers, and setup mortar racks at shows.
Interpretive
Since I'm not 18 yet, the most I can do is help at consumer fireworks shows and help setup anything that isn't product. I believe the seminars are a great alternative as I learn a lot of valuable information in them that help me answer my EQ such as safety issues as well as knowing your product.
Applied
From what I have learned in attending shows, Fire Marshals play a large part in monitoring the show and making sure everything is safe. This leads me to believe that safety is a very important aspect in successful fireworks shows. I also learned that choreography is not as large a deal as it seems, as many shows are consumer fireworks displays and must be done according to the client.
Grade: P
ReplyDeletePros: I think it’s fantastic that you are able to assist professionals with fireworks shows, even though your age is an impediment.
Cons: I am concerned that your EQ answer isn’t focused enough. Safety is a requisite for many fields. Is there a named fireworks safety code or manual that can bring specificity to your EQ answer?
