Corporate America is made up of employees working in a team effort to achieve the goals of the business and make a profit.

Submit professional work at all times and turn in your assignments by the due dates. Please DO NOT turn in your response to the WORK TASKS WRITTEN IN TEXT LANGUAGE. At this time, Corporate America expect their executives to use correct sentence structure in official documentation (subject and verb agreement) unless otherwise stated by the company.
