How can a computer system's analyst best update a clothing and accessory company's legacy systems to meet modern industry standards?
How would you deal with the third party programs or devices that are used by clothing companies (that you have no experience with)?
How can a systems analyst properly update or upgrade a system without having to shut it down completely?
As a systems analyst, do you believe that it is better to work independently or as an employee/part of a team, especially in the apparel industry?
Is there anything that you feel has made becoming a systems analyst easier for you?
Is there anything that you feel has made becoming a systems analyst more difficult for you?
Have you run into any situations where you'd feel that knowing something beforehand would have made it easier in that situation?
Often times, updates/upgrades are not always perfect. Would you suggest an update/upgrade to a client when it was just released, or would you wait a while? Why?
Has there ever been a request from your clientele/employer that you were unable to complete? Why or why not and how did you deal with it?
What are useful sources when monitoring modern-day technology?
Are there any books or sources that you would recommend to be useful in my research on systems analysis?

1. Where are you doing your mentorship?

2. Who is your contact?

3. How many total hours have you done?

4. Summarize the 10 hours of service learning that you've done.

The experience has been nice so far. I have learned many of the common discrepancies that will show up while working in this career field and have grown into a habit of solving them, although I just recently found that getting into a certain mindset while in this job may be a bad thing since being creative with my solutions is encouraged and will keep me away from mistakes in the future.

5. Email your house teacher the name and phone number of your contact.
