ben.cook: In the data entry field I once was assigned a job of finding out, and sorting, all of the teachers in the Jacksonville area on a very short deadline.

I finished the job with much time to spare. I realized that there are many solutions to any assignment, it just needs to be found.

After i said that that question, Mrs. Christine Donelly went offline. Watch out for scams, and most importantly, if an interviewer ever asks "What do you understand by ''privacy,code of conduct and petty cash'' ?", its a fraud.
