Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great start but I worry it might not be long enough. If you have some time maybe you could add a little more? It's an analysis so you could always pull directly from the chapter and apply it some stuff from your interview questions.
I will do that. Sorry so short. I will have it in the blog tomorrow evening. Thanks
