EXAM TASK, XMAS TERM: CHARACTER REFERENCE

To whom it may concern:

Alice Watson

Alice and I have been working for five years for a local humanitarian help organization, and she has also helped in Africa with an organization named “Help in Action”.

During the time we have worked together, she has proved herself to be a patient person, rarely losing her temper even when she is under strain.She is never daunted when things go wrong, remaining self-possessed. She is a friendly and polite young person, who is always at hand to help.

When dealing with customers, her polite and tactful manner is vital, she is so friendly that it is a pleasure to work with her.

I have to say that she is not a very punctual person, but she is rarely absent from work. She also has a tendency to worry over detail; however, this is because she wants things to be done perfectly.

It is undeniable that Alice has a talent for foreign languages, and she is fluent in English, French and Spanish. She is also doing a course in German and Chinese. Despite being such an intelligent person, she keeps a low profile.

Naturally, she has outstanding communication skills; what is more, the experience she has in working with different charity organizations in her free time is one of her greater strengths.

For all these reasons, I strongly believe that Alice would have much to contribute to your company and therefore I have no hesitation in supporting her application.
