Tepper Interview Debrief:Scheduled the interview on the 14th October with Emily Archambeault.
She was very kind and started off with a pep talk about the weekends, travel plan etc. We even discussed about my marriage and came to know that she is about to get married very soon. She told me that she had not gone through my complete application and just had my resume with her.
