My favorite aspect of being a lineman is the work is always changing and the feeling of getting a neighborhood's power back on.

Kevin's Feedback
Good answer! That must feel great! Take that enthusiasm and build on it a little more. Advertising that you love your job can go a long way in conveying that you're good at your job and consistently go the extra mile.
“My favorite aspect of being a lineman is that the work is always varied. I rarely feel burned out on the job. When folks lose their power there is a panic that commonly rises. Too often they’ll come out of their homes and anxiously watch us at work. Anytime I get the power back on in a neighborhood, I know that’s a comfort, and its super rewarding. I love those interactions. It keeps me going.”
