NUR ALIA AZRI

To Whom It May Concern:

TESTIMONIAL FOR MISS NUR ALIA AZRI
NRIC 860115-56-6072


Miss Nur Alia Azri was an intern at my Mini Post Office, stationery shop, insurance agency and real estate agency for about three weeks from June 12 to July 7, 2006. In that time, she has proven to be an invaluable asset to my various businesses. She possesses an innate sense of duty and responsibility far beyond her tender years, no doubt nurtured by the fact that she is the eldest of five siblings.

She has an affable, sunny disposition, with a cheerful smile and ready humour, which I initially mistook for playfulness and audacity. She is honest and completely trustworthy. I have entrusted her with thousands of ringgit as well as the Post Office keys and not once had she betrayed my implicit faith in her.

A student possessing high cognitive needs, she relished the challenge of taking the Pre-Contract Examinations for Insurance Agents. When the 5-day course to prepare her for these examinations was cancelled at the last minute, she decided to go ahead to take these examinations through self-study, devouring the 25-chapter textbook in as many days. Needless to say, she passed Parts A, B and C.

A fast learner, Alia is a pleasure to teach. As a former academic, my management style is not to use my employees to merely get work done, but to develop my employees through giving them work. Also, I stretch them so that they may discover new talents and abilities within themselves. Alia has taken every challenge thrown at her in her stride; not once has she grumbled or moaned when asked to come in early, work late or take on added responsibility. She has cleaned toilets, swept and mopped floors, cleaned windows, picked up litter and dead leaves, done gardening, made tea, distributed fliers, paid bills, kept simple accounts, answered telephones (within three rings!) and etc. She has taken minutes for the Airport City Business Centre Business Owners Association breakfast meetings twice and even translated the minutes to Bahasa Melayu as well as translated an official 12-page Pos Malaysia legal contract from Bahasa Melayu to English. She has even climbed onto my office roof to retrieve a pair of gloves.

Clearly, she is not one to shirk responsibility. You will never hear her utter "That is not my job." Her sense of responsibility is such that "if a task needs to be done, someone has to do it. If I can do it, then, consider it done."

In the final analysis, when it comes to what really matters, despite her youth and demure outward appearance, Alia is someone who possesses that rare inner strength ~ deep inside, right down to the core, she is tough as nails.

I can recommend her for any position her heart desires without the slightest reservation ~ for I know she will rise to the challenge.
