hopingformd Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 In the email, it says that we can complete a confidentiality agreement now to save time on Friday. Does anyone know what this is? When I click the Interview tab, I just have to "accept" their terms and it takes me straight to the interview scheduler (obviously its not open now). Is there some other form I have to fill out? Thanks, and congrats to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
