I really enjoyed this article. It made me re-evaluate myself concerning my professional confidence (what I'm doing right and wrong) and it also gave me a couple of tips on how to improve some of my weaknesses. At the same time, this article helped me to check new vocabulary and improve my command of English. Competency is very important in my place of work. I work in the advertising industry and people in this field have a lot of responsibilities, we send artwork for reproduction on a daily basis, and because of the amount of copies that clients request, it is very important to pay close attention to how we prepare final artwork. Small reproduction errors could cause a lot of losses to our clients and subsequently to our company.
