[IPAC-List] Interview Question Construction

[josh cowan]

Hi,

    I just wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions. Shelley, I'm  
reading through the PDF right now,  Harry and David, the book is on  
the way. Illene, great resource, thank you. Michael, thanks for the  
text as well. Mark, your advice re. scorability is proving to be very  
good guidance, thank you. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Cheers,

Josh Cowan
