"I could only laugh about missing my first interview, it didnt really stress me out but it was kind of annoying waiting around while people finished all of their interviews b4 I even started. Overall, the actual interviews went well and I was talking with all of them until time ran over.

SDN was dead on, all my questions were questions I had seen on SDN." Report Response
