Perhaps the best compliment I received from a manager was during an introduction to his boss when he explained:
What companies say about me?
“Bruce is a very well rounded individual. Not only is Bruce technically competent, but he has a good business acumen. Bruce has demonstrated that he is very capable of analyzing business and technical problems and with little or no guidance recommends solutions and then implements those solutions.”
“Bruce’s strength is his technology vision, organization, integrity and composure under duress. Bruce has a passion for technology, which is exemplified in his work. He is very organized in a position that requires it. He sets aggressive targets and understands accountability and commitment. Perhaps his best contribution has been his composure. Bruce is managing a very visible and highly political project with strong personalities involved. Bruce has been the “eye in the storm” that has kept everyone’s focus in times of turmoil. These strengths will server him well in his career.”
“Bruce is able to manage and react to all business changes with a remarkable sense of organization and timeliness. Bruce is very good at pointing out areas that business can improve, both at the systems level and at the process level. Bruce takes the initiative to head off potential problems before they reach a critical point. He is also able to break large complex issues down to manageable tasks. Bruce is able to delegate those tasks when appropriate and also able to handle the tasks too delicate to hand off to others.”
By way of introduction, here are some quotes from past employment performance appraisals. I believe these highlight the contributions I can make and an employer should expect.
“Bruce is a loaded gun, and all we have to do is aim him”
“Bruce has a real talent for digging into new technologies and figuring out how to apply them to real world business problems. He has an excellent grasp of technology trends and a very broad and detailed knowledge base. He has helped ADS through a number of challenging moments with his expertise and experience. He is a knowledge resource that the whole department has come to count on. He produces high quality work. Bruce consistently shares his knowledge with others and has contributed to the growth of our less experienced personnel. Over the past year Bruce has taken over a couple of small projects that were “on the rocks” and made them a success. Bruce is very passionate about his work.”
