Go with your gut

Hi All.  I definitely did something that basically would save me a lot of grief and luckily for me , the person I was supposed to work with felt the same way. Sometimes, based off a simple phone call you can tell that you really won’t mesh with the other person. Honestly, there is nothing [...]
