Hey, Natalie - nice to hear from you. Things are slow in CR really all over the country, but I see them picking up. I also have worked in DC and am getting the travel bug to work there again. Honestly, I like DC better because to me it seems to be higher caliber work and cases. I'm doing both from Pittsburgh. From what I read, you're smart. That's a real plus. But you have to be FAST, too. Everything you write should be a brief forms and phrases. All of the forums have brief form sections. When you're closer to graduation and you've decided where you'd like to relocate, drop me a line. Keep the faith!
