formatting, you don’t know where the bathroom is, where is the coffee. Ask.

5. Manage your time and prioritize. Period.– Your personal life, your work life, your school

life. We’ve talked about lots of tools to help you do this! It’s an important life lesson and an important transcription lesson.
