Can you follow directions? Following directions is very IMPORTANT in the field services industry. Firms hire you and they expect you to follow their specific directions.
I read a lot of emails. I find that a very large number of field service inspectors cannot follow very simple directions. Firms will ask inspectors to reply to a specific email address with their contact information. Instead of replying to the specified email, they will reply to the sending email or a different email ... they do not follow very simple directions on how to respond.
When you don't follow simple directions, that says a lot about you. It says that you are not reliable. It says that you probably should not be hired by the firm because they cannot count on you to perform the job as instructed.
HIRING Firms: Understand the red flags in hiring field service inspectors. If a field inspector cannot follow simple instructions, you do NOT want them on your team. They will fail and they will affect the firm's performance as measured by the client. Avoid inspectors who cannot follow simple instructions. Hire only the best of the best inspectors.
