What are your general comments?

Interview date was March 26. The interview was, in my opinion, great from the outset. All the questions that I expected she would ask were asked and I felt pretty good about my responses. She seemed impressed at not only my application (which she had in front of her) but also at my responses. You should always remember to shake hands firmly (trust me, they'll be looking for that). When it was my turn for an interview, she came up suddenly and shook my hand. Because I was surprised by her brief appearance, I didn't shake like I should have. However, I got another chance before I sat down in her office and man, I tell you, I grasped that hand pretty firmly. One more thing, the key is to be yourself and to be comfortable with yourself during the interview.
