During that time I developed a very high regard for Jane based on the outstanding contributions that she made to the office throughout the summer. In fact, Jane has been one of the most productive summer staff member that the office has employed during my 8-year tenure as Director.Jane has exhibited a rare combination of speed and accuracy that has enabled her to produce a very high volume of work while maintaining very high standards for quality. Staff has often said that "I can't believe that Jane is done with that job already"! Jane was able to follow complex directions in a thorough and detailed manner and also worked very independently without close supervision when it was appropriate. Rarely did staff need to explain a process or procedure to Jane more than once and she was particularly adept at learning computer applications. Jane is an organizational whiz who can work on multilayered tasks and balance multiple projects concurrently.Jane's upbeat demeanor and can-do attitude brightened the office and made her a very low maintenance employee. Her strong human relations skills enabled her to interface very effectively with many different constituencies including alumni, students and employers. Jane's strong verbal and written communications skills allowed her to relay information in a clear and coherent manner. Jane is a naturally caring person with a strong helping orientation who consistently demonstrated a solid service orientation towards our clients.As you can tell by now, I am quite impressed with this outstanding young woman and give her my strongest recommendation for roles which require intelligence, organization, communication skills, service and a positive attitude. Please feel free to contact me if you need additional information or perspective.Yours sincerely,John DoeDirector, Career OfficeOxford UniversityTele.
