    Stay focused!!! You are now going to see the what the company is all about. When you talk to the recruiters and company reps they make it sound fantastic??? It may be a great experience but know going it probably wont' live up to the exception. With that being said remember what your are there for and stay positive. This may be the best place for you or the first stepping stone in finding what suits you best. Take advantage of whatever you can learn, dismiss the negative and keep a and open mind. It will be what you make of it!!!
