Venture Lab project. Due Aug 12

1. Interview data (from previous week)
Honestly, the 9-5 pm schedule was the hardest for me. I guess this could be more broadly categorized
under integrating to a new work culture and trying to fit in. Something else that would go with this was
trying to figure out how to dress so that one shows a sense of professionalism at the work place.
I think having a work coach at the start would make the fitting in/integration process much easier.
Someone I could talk to and direct questions towards to figure out how to fit in properly and succeed at
a job I care about.
