Recommender’s status: Operation Deputy
Applicant’s name: Lan
Applicant’s position: Senior accountant
Applicant’s job description: AR, AP, Treasury
Background:
Work-wise the applicant is very capable, and always systematic (can be a positive or a negative)
Personality: Calm, always level-headed, extremely persistent
(Not likely to make mistake or get carried away because she is always very calm and steady)
Area to improve: Because she is Chinese and came from a culture where you are taught to respect the elder and superior, sometimes she does not speak up even when her direct supervisor makes a mistake. It is a virtue to be obedient and respect in the Chinese culture but in order to succeed she should be more affirmative and be willing to speak her mind.
Specific incident: When her direct supervisor makes a mistake on the billing statement, instead of pointing it out, she would just make the correction on her own.
Main reasons for recommendation: Skills can be taught but personality is hard to change; Lan’s strength is her personality. If must describe in one word: Calm.
She is the perfect candidate to walk the fine line if being confident and not acting arrogant.
