REAL FEEDBACK

What were the intern's greatest strengths throughout the last four weeks?

She has a great ability to communicate and work with all types of people. She could easily adapt to our clients' different industries. She was, most of the times, the first one at the office, always on time. It was great that you didn't have to check up on her; she always came to me on her own to revise progress.
