How to get a lookout job project

Henry Isenberg is undertaking a project to make information available for the proverbial question, "How do I get a lookout job?" If active lookouts or lookout supervisors would like to share hiring practices, requirements, and any tips that might help a person get an idea of what it will take to become a lookout, please contact Henry Isenberg by email
