General Comments:

  • Bring in alum that work at the company as soon as possible. The two alum that I spoke with were great, but I felt a little rushed. It felt a little last minute. Even if it was last minute, it was very helpful to speak with an alum that is currently working in the position that I am applying for.
  • You guys are great thanks!
