“It has been a great pleasure to have had her with us for the past five months. She proved to be an outstanding performer and has contributed positively to our work and mission here at the Cooperative Monitoring Center – Amman. The interest, enthusiasm, and hard work she displayed set a superb example for my staff.”
“She has been one of our best interns. Due to her many accomplishments, we have suggested her to apply for a position [at] the World Bank, a highly competitive two-year program for people who are interest in international development and have a potential to contribute to the Bank’s mission.”
"This has been an excellent six months for him [at SEESAC]…He has performed all tasks asked with professional competence, intelligence, initiative, enthusiasm and good humour. He has also proved to be discreet, trustworthy and can be relied upon to give 100% commitment to the task in had…During the last six months he has made a significant contribution [in producing] ‘cutting edge’ research…it is ‘ground-breaking’ work.”
“She far exceeded our expectations as an intern [at Save the Children] and I have full confidence in her ability to move ahead and excel in her chosen career path.”
“Without her contribution the Refugee Children Unit would not have been able to provide input to the UN Study on Violence against Children, which in addition, was of high quality. She has shown initiative and creativity and provided very useful recommendations and considerations when requested...Her contributions were highly appreciated not only by the unite and the Senior Regional Adviser, but also by the Secretariat, including the Director of the UN Study on Violence against Children.”
