Students, from your list of 12 questions, please choose your three best questions and post them in the Comments section here for this blog post. That way we can just come back to the Comments section here and look at each other's questions, and you may modify and borrow these questions freely. The idea is to prepare the best questions possible when we go out and do our profile interview.
Thank you.
Mike
