What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The interview was at 7:30am. The sun was in my eyes driving all the way up the 57North and I couldn't see the signs. The one thing I wish I knew is that along the 57N, there is a portion that merges with the 60 Freeway and then splits off again into the 57. It was really hard to see b/c you are driving into the sun at that time in the morning. I got lost, but fortunately I got there on time. " Report Response
