      "I've worked on a variety of sized buildings and ships. When I applied I assumed it was for the SF office but I wasn't sure about the travel %. Then I spoke to Austin, he mentioned that there are 10-15 sites in the bay area and that makes the job more appealing."

      Stephanie's Feedback

      This is a good start, but I suggest focusing less on the specifics of this job and instead shifting your focus to your previous work. This is your opportunity to really showcase how you have scaled, managed large teams, and operated a large building.
