Addressing The Gaps

Although I do not have two years of experience and have not had a huge
involvement with programming language, travel forecasting, or
transportation planning; there is not a doubt in my mind that I would be able
to quickly learn the technical skills. What I lack in experience I make up for in
my ability to adapt quickly and work well with any team.
