While the roles and brief descriptions of tasks and accountabilities are accurate, the reader needs to
understand that, in today’s environment, where many company companies are looking to do more with
less, these roles will be combined in several combinations to accommodate what any particular company
is looking for from a specific position.

Therefore, focusing on one role over another may result in a job seeker needing more forethought and
preparation. Look for similarities between parts and imagine how each piece may be expanded to add
more value to a company.
