It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Emily Chan Lei Ling. I enjoyed having her on my team for over a year. When she first joined, she learned the ropes rather quickly despite having to learn everything remotely. Emily was also flexible and adaptable when the situation calls for it. She was always dependable and on time, as was required by the nature of our job. She is able to work with minimal supervision while also being very much a team player. Her friendly, pleasant disposition makes it a delight working with her. Her mastery in both English and Bahasa Malaysia will surely be an asset to any organisation.

It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Emily Chan. I hired Emily immediately after interviewed, she was calm, stable, and confident on her professional and know what she wants. Emily is a very quick learner, she fit in the job very soon, even the process is complicate, she always can find the solutions. For me, Emily is the one you don’t have to worry about, she can work with the team very well, also work solo. She is very smart and quick adapt to various tasks. I hope I can work with her again if I have chance.
