Pitch


In the space below, make a pitch as to why your dream job is the best.
I think that my dream job is the best because they use lasers to treat cancer and perform liposuction.
This is a very good job because skin cancer is becoming very popular and laser treatments can help save many lives.
The laser part of the job also is used to remove unwanted fat from the body without leaving loose and wrinkled skin.
This is a condition that every human experiences at least once in their lifetime.
It also helps treat skin cancer which can also be called one of the great breakthroughs of medical science and the laser also helps to get rid of acne and pores on the skin (which is something that everyone experiences).
