Recommendation

If you are receiving this resume, I implore you to pause and take these words into high consideration. Sara is one of those standout employees that leaves an impression not just on your company culture, but in her one-on-one relationships through exemplary and compassionate leadership. She will not just prove her worth in skill, but will inspire those around her to do better. She shines with high EQ in team settings and excels in knowing the delicate balance between stepping into positions of support or leadership when needed: her strength is her ability to adapt and add to her surrounding environment through professional action. She is innovative, unafraid of challenges, disciplined, and has a work-ethic that you will only find very rarely in your professional life. I say this with the utmost professionalism as I cannot sing her praises high enough: do not miss the opportunity to open the door for a woman who will do nothing but work hard to transform your company and team for the better. She is an absolute honor to know and have worked with.
