Also, make sure you negotiate for a decent starting salary, as it is very difficult to receive a decent raise once in the system."

What don't you like about working at Emory University?

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Find recruiters that have specialties, e.g. marketing, nursing, etc. That way there may be a better chance of Emory hiring competent people.
