Working at MAA Television Network and being part of their outstanding team was an amazing experience. It is very important for an organization to have clear cut descriptions of their roles and responsibilities. The skills and experience I gained while working there is irreplaceable. During the period of my work term, I have learnt what Team work actually means and also the responsibilities of each and every employee within a department.
