Summary:
- When we went to USPS there were five of us. I told my team to me do all the talking. But if I need some help, bring it because I didn’t want confusion. I want to make sure this is done very professionally and very methodically. Communication is very important because they have to know what you’re doing, what you can contribute how this can work out.
