Our delivered product is a report. Therefore, please understand that your entire submission will be reviewed for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and clarity of thought.
Finally, we are an allergen-sensitive office. So, if you smell (even faintly) of perfume, smoke, or animal pee (I know, you wouldn't think this necessary to point out, but you'd be surprised), this probably isn't the right place for you to work. |
