To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to take a moment to provide some background for anyone intending to work with Susan. I have had the pleasure of working with her on many occasions through her self-employed business over the years, and she is an absolute gem when it comes to marketing, promotion, and creative consulting. Whether it's web development, marketing campaigns, SEO optimization, or other digital creative initiatives, Susan was always able to navigate the chaos and make things happen.
In addition, Susan and I worked together on some large-scale event planning, and in particular a large festival, that exceeded expectations. I can attest to her project management and organizational abilities. Her projects have always been on time and under budget.
Finally, Susan is a fantastic communicator, always keeping everyone in the loop and ensuring that we are on the same page. Whenever we faced challenges or roadblocks, Susan tackled them with grace and determination, giving us the confidence that we would succeed.
Aside from professional skills, another topic of note is Susan’s engaging personality and infectious energy. She has an ability to bring people together, foster collaboration, and create a positive and uplifting situation regardless of the specific deliverable she is working on.
If you're looking for project management, marketing, promotion, or creative consulting work, Susan will not only get the job done but also inject positivity into the work.
I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her over the years and highly recommend her. If you have any questions or need further details, feel free to reach out to me.
Sincerely,
Jacob Jones

In my past role as Manager, In-Store Marketing Strategy, for Kohl’s, I was thrilled with the opportunity to convert Susan from a consultant to a full-time member of my team. In her time as In-Store Marketing Strategy Coordinator, I was impressed by her professional demeanor, ability to adapt and learn quickly, and the leadership she provided to her Merchant and other working partners.
Initially asked to support the Home division, Susan quickly established herself as the leader for the division’s marketing needs. She collaborated with Brands such as Keurig and KitchenAid to launch these product lines in stores, resulting in the division exceeding business projections.
A department restructuring required Susan to add a second division, Menswear, to her responsibilities. Despite a doubling of her workload, she willingly did so without any negative impact to her performance. In a role which is heavily process-driven, Susan creatively found ways to successfully manage the multitude of responsibilities.
Susan’s success is a reflection of her abilities to create and maintain strong relationships with her business partners. Unsolicited feedback from within the organization had always remained positive. She takes great pride in the ownership of her work and establishes herself as a leader in her role; whether leading a meeting of peers or partners, or by example set amongst teammates.
Susan is deserving of my recommendation and I am certain, given the opportunity, your organization would receive the same high-performing results.
Sincerely,
To whom it may concern. My name is Metta. I am a renowned and acclaimed teacher, tutor, mentor, counsellor, artist, designer, and philosopher, in my early sixties, and with a reputation of the greatest possible standing on social media. My Facebook profile page bears testimony to these assertions, as does the content of my now famous and acclaimed Facebook group, and also my website. I first encountered Susan on internet social media platforms 3 years ago. Since then, we have been in regular communication, and I have become well-acquainted with her character, her impressive powers of perception, her deep understanding, and her many original and interesting ideas, projects, and endeavors. I can honestly and confidently state, without equivocation, that Susan impressed me enormously from the time of our very first encounter. She possesses, in great abundance, all of the qualities which I find most admirable in a human being, including honesty, integrity, tact, diplomacy, openness, foresight, intellect, vision, tenacity, imagination, organisational skills, and an exceptionally rare creative spirit. Susan’s numerous conceptions for potential future projects display and represent a further indication of her creative talents and pioneering spirit. Susan never ceases to amaze me with her vast experience of life, her deep insights into social dynamics, as well as both individual and collective psychology. Therefore, I have no hesitation in unequivocally recommending Susan, both as a person, a business partner, or as an employee, to whomsoever reads this official reference and personal testimonial.

It was my absolute pleasure to report to Susan when she was the director of the Center of Light in Milwaukee, and also when she was in charge of the global marketing efforts for the Centers of Light around the country. Her unbridled enthusiasm for the job and her inspiring leadership kept all of us who reported to her engaged and excited about our jobs. She was always fair and considerate, and open to our input, and she was always on top of every job, holding the vision. In addition, she worked harder than everyone else, and held so many projects together at one time that is was truly amazing! She is a total professional, with true creativity and artistry. She brought the marketing plan to a total and complete new level. I really can't say how happy I was to work for her.

Susan is a fantastic employee and a great person to work with. She has excellent project management abilities and is great at prioritizing and scheduling her time. She is also amazing at leading groups of people in projects. She has excellent follow-up habits and I have personally seen her corral 50 people through an intricate and sometimes daunting project process. She would be a fantastic addition to any team that is lucky enough to have her.

I am delighted to recommend Susan. She is extremely competent in high pressured, fast paced environments making her an outstanding asset to any team. What I have also found unique and highly beneficial is her skill set and background in managing both technical and marketing projects. In addition to all of this, Susan is extremely diligent and a very hard worker. She would be a pleasure to have on any team!
