Carrie Clark Help! I've been given the awesome assignment of rewriting my job description but have no clue where to start (other than looking at job boards for examples).

Carrie Clark: Thanks! I've been awful and let my ASAE membership lapse but this seems like a good reason to renew and I'll check out yapstar.org.

Vanessa Alvarado: Naturally, that generation gap leaves too much room to list all the favorites. For classic musicals, "My Fair Lady" wins for witty dialog.
