Description of my perfect job:
I enjoy working very closely with a client or team so that the message is communicated in the best possible way. Spending time learning and understanding the objective of the project so the project will come in on time, and meet its goals. I believe a good idea executed perfectly is far better than a great idea hastily put together at the last moment.
