"Just last year, I started working with underground wiring. My employer put me through the Underground Electrical Distribution System training at our local vocational school. I have learned a lot in the past year, but I am still learning to this day."

I have 10 plus years installing and troubleshooting underground wire. I safely managed to repair the underground wire and properly use our underground troubleshooting equipment to reduce outage time.

This response really highlights your experience with underground wire. My only suggestion for improvement is to add a closing sentence to round out your response. For example: "I am highly experienced with underground wiring and feel very confident in this area."

My experience with underground is from what I've learned through school which is both single-phase and 3 phase circuits.

This is a great start, but I suggest developing this answer a bit more. What have you learned about this process? Also, if your current experience in this area is limited, you may wish to add a closing sentence which highlights your interest in continuing your learning in this area.
