1. Arrive a *healthy* 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to give you time to collect your thoughts, review your notes and make a good first impression.
What are other words that can fit intot the sentence?

2. technology frontier=technology edge.
do they sound the same to you?

3. Telling the interviewer you are a perfectionist and expect too much *of* yourself ..
Can I replace that with *for*?

4.Prepare potential responses ahead of time to avoid relying on the *usuals.*
Normal circumstances, in this case?

5. It's one *h e ll* of a party.
Is it a good party or a bad one?

Thanks to you all.

1. "Good" is the only one I can think of at the moment.

2. Yes.

3. No. "Of" talks about what you expect to give. "For" is what you expect to receive.

4. Yes (normal responses).

5. A very good one.
