Esto es la ex ESMA (Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada) en Buenos Aires, Argentina.

De 1976 a 1983, la ESMA fue un centro de terrorismo de estado donde se retenían civiles sin cargos y se les torturaba. A las víctimas se les conoce como "los desaparecidos."

When describing yourself in a job interview, don't say, "I am best at..." Say, "I am at my best WHEN..."
Be vivid about what strengthens you.
