Comma use

Do I need a comma before "as well as?"

In all of these roles I exhibited strong organizational skills and worked independently as well as part of a team.

" Eh, there's a problem. I worked independently. I worked as part of a team.

  • " Eh, there's a problem.
  • I worked independently.
  • I worked as part of a team.
  • I worked independently as well as as part of a team.
  • That second "as" disappears but it sound ridiculous with it.

No, but I'd put one after "roles" and for clarity, I'd put a comma after "skills" and insert another "I" before "worked."

Eh, there's a problem. I worked independently. I worked as part of a team. I worked independently as well as as part of a team. That second "as" disappears but it sound ridiculous with it.

Better would be: , and I worked both independently and as p
