- What sort of credentials/degrees did your mentor need to have in order to gain this job?
- What new insight did you gain about working in the professional world by shadowing your mentor?

COLD CALLING SCRIPT:
Hello Rebecca! My name is Elena Seitzinger and I'm a student at High Tech High North County. I'm calling in regards to a possible shadow on May 19th. It would be normal work hours and I would just follow you around for the day. I appreciate you taking the time and considering being my mentor. Thank you for your time!
