During my time with Amanda as my colleague, she was always positive, a team player, and supportive with projects and working collaboratively. She would always put her hand up to assist others and took feedback and suggestions with a smile. It was nothing short of a pleasure working alongside her!

Denis Morozov

Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing this letter of recommendation for Amanda, who worked alongside me in a different department for three months. In this short time, I have had the pleasure of witnessing her exceptional work ethic and dedication to her job. During her time working with me, Amanda consistently displayed a positive attitude and a willingness to take on any task given to her. She quickly adapted to the demands of our department, working efficiently and effectively to ensure that deadlines were met and tasks were completed to a high standard. Amanda's organizational skills are impressive, and she has a keen eye for detail. She is a quick learner and was able to master new software and systems in a short amount of time. Her communication skills are excellent, and she was always proactive in keeping our team informed of any important updates or changes. Overall, Amanda is a reliable and hardworking individual who would be a valuable addition to any team. I strongly recommend her for any future positions and am confident that she will excel in any role she takes on. Sincerely, Denis
