the outter looks of the bukdings. they seemed a little old and could deninitely use some work.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

not that it really mattered, but i wish i had known that i would be interviewed by 2 diff people seperately. i thought i would be interviewed by two people at the same time, but that wasn't the case. personally, i think this is a good idea. in my case, i am not sure how my 1st interview went, but the 2nd went very very well.
