- Assemble the basic stats about any past work experience (names of employers, length of employment, etc.).
- You'll be asked to complete a few essay questions. Please pay attention to spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Seriously. Neumont uses your writing sample to see what kind of mad communication skills you have and if you're a fit for our unique program.
