The end of college doesn’t necessarily mean the end of testing, as anyone who aspires to business, law, or graduate school knows well. Amy and Mike invited educator Vince Kotchian to speak in-depth about the GRE. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What is the GRE? What kinds of schools or programs use the GRE for admissions? When should students prepare for and take the GRE? How does the GRE resemble and differ from the SAT or ACT? What should test takers know about the computer-based format of the GRE? MEET OUR GUEST Vince Kotchian grew up in small-town Connecticut and completed the honors program at Boston College, graduating with a B.A. in English Literature. He moved to San Diego in 2007 and has been working full-time as a test-prep tutor ever since. Vince has scored a perfect 170 in verbal (twice) and a 167 in quant on the GRE. He is the founder of both Vince Kotchian Test Prep and GRE Verbal Precision. Over the years, Vince has written some test-prep books and courses, but still enjoys GRE tutoring: “When a student texts me that she aced the test or got into her reach program, I still literally jump up and down and grin.” In his spare time, Vince likes traveling using miles and points (Japan is his favorite country to visit), reading (favorite authors include Haruki Murakami, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and Philip Pullman), watching The Great British Bake-Off (and sometimes actually baking things), hiking and camping, and rooting for the Red Sox and Patriots.

The lyrics of this wonderful song: Ночь подошла, сумрак на землю лёг, Тонут во мгле пустынные сопки, Тучей закрыт восток. Здесь, под землёй, наши герои спят, Песню над ними ветер поёт И звезды с небес глядят. То не залп с полей долетел - Это гром вдали прогремел, И опять кругом всё спокойно, Всё молчит в тишине ночной. Спите бойцы, спите спокойным сном, Пусть вам приснятся нивы родные, Отчий далёкий дом. Пусть погибли вы в боях с врагами, Подвиг ваш к борьбе нас зовёт, Кровью народной омытое знамя Мы понесём вперёд. Мы пойдем навстречу новой жизни, Сбросим бремя рабских оков. И не забудут народ и отчизна Доблесть своих сынов. Спите, бойцы. Слава навеки вам. Нашу отчизну, край наш родимый, Не покорить врагам. Ночь, тишина, Лишь гаолян шумит. Спите, герои, память о вас Родина-мать хранит. The night has come, the twilight laid upon the ground, Lonely hill are drowning in darkness, The East is concealed by a dark cloud. Here, under the ground, our heroes sleep, The wind is singing a song above them, And the stars are looking down from the heaven. It’s not a cannon shot from the fields - It is a thunderclap from afar, And again everything around is peaceful, All is silent in the dark of the night. Sleep soldiers, sleep and rest in peace, May you dream of the native meadows, Your father’s far away home. You died in the battle against your enemies, Your feast is calling us to fight, We will bring forward the banner That was covered with people’s blood. We will go to meet a new life, Let's drop the burden of slave chains. And people and the fatherland will not forget Valor of their sons. Sleep, heroes... The eternal glory for you. Our motherland, our native land Won’t be taken by the enemies. It’s night, it’s quiet, Only kaoliang is rustling, Rest in peace, heroes, the memory of you Is preserved by your motherland.

[rev_slider alias="episode-8-rick-lopez-showrunner-assistant"][/rev_slider] On this episode of Career Closeup, we meet Rick Lopez. Rick works on the set of Fox’s hit series Lucifer as the assistant to the Showrunner(s). While many of us have heard about the executive producer, producer, and directors associated with television shows and in big screen movies, who truly runs everything in a production? The “CEO” of the set on any given television series is the Showrunner. The Showrunner hires the producers, directors, actors and staff for a series. This incredibly busy individual gets the praise as well as the blame for the success or failure of a show. As one of the showrunner's assistants to two showrunners, Rick keeps "the train on the tracks." Rick is the gatekeeper that coordinates everything at his level as assistant, allowing the show runners the time to focus on "a billion decisions a day." It's not a job for everybody, but it offers insight and contact with many areas involved in getting ideas turned into scenes on TV. It is an ideal job to gain experience and access if one wants to become a writer.

The vibe he received from the fine people of N.A.S.A. (Squeak E.
