Targus

Client Relationship ManagerTargus

"It is my pleasure to recommend Mery Amaya who is absolutely a great team player and over achiever. I worked with her for 6 months and I also trained her. Her positive attitude, dedication and commitment are the key values she can deliver to the Company. Throughout her employment in Targus, she has consistently displayed a remarkable ability to cope not only in high stress situations, but to actually thrive in them. She is able to manage her tasks with confidence and efficiency, despite the time constraints. The characteristic that is most recommendable in Mery is her desire to improve, not simply her performances, but herself as well. We had a very different culture at work. As she realized the changes required to work effectively there, she went to work analyzing herself, seeking feedback and then making changes to her style, approach, and manner. I believe she was able to make significant improvements because of her commitment to do so. This and other valuable characteristics, combined with future potential, should be valuable to any organization."
