Elaine and I worked together for a year ,I found her competent and conscientious , honest and hardworking. Elaine was able to continue running the store efficiently in my absence. Elaine has skills that were not utilised in her Sales consultant position so I look forward to hearing she has obtained her higher goals and wish her all the best .
