Pretend

that interests you. In three to four sentences, describe why you would
be an excellent addition to a Web development team in that role. Choose
one of the 3 available positions you found and complete the assignment
as if you are interviewing for that particular position. You may make

Southern Crescent and have obtained the skills from this and other
courses necessary to be an asset to the organization.
The
job role I chose was Web Designer for DecoNetwork. I would be great
addition to the team because of my prior experience with internet

in a customer service industry before so I am well acquainted with
dealing with customers.
