Amy--if they ask you if you salt your food before tasting it, say "NO!"
No kidding--I was asked this at my interview here at Port Arthur. Apparently if
you say "Why yes, as a matter of fact I do," it means that you are an
inflexible tyrant. End of interview.
By the way, Lamar University (the four year school in Beaumont) is advertising

organizations. Research and publication required.
