<description><![CDATA[<br />The answer should follow SAR pattern:<br /><br />S = Situation<br />A = Action<br />R = Result<br /><br />For ex. sample situation:<br />Our depatment was getting a many complaints from customers on too many email notifications.<br /><br />Action:<br />I did a research and found out that the problem was that each department handled notifications in they own ways. Our group took the responsibility and developed unified cross-company email notification system.<br /><br />Result:<br />The system allowed to reduce amount of emails to our clients by combining and sending email according to notification priority. <br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>
