Susan Barton has been a go-to person for me for more than ten years. Any special project, or task that required attention to detail was always assigned to Susan. Ms. Barton is consistent, has professional predictability, integrity, and a good sense of the big picture matched with a tactical mind. Whether working on behalf of The Garner Group, or Duke University Alumni Affairs, Susan always added a level of quality that enhanced our teams performance.

I recommend Susan to you enthusiastically and without reservation. She methodically worked through many anomalies in our system's newly acquired cataloging database and was instrumental in correcting thousands of conversion omissions and streamlining our daily procedures. She has an exceptional ability to look at problem tasks and devise improved solutions. She quickly learned our procedures and has, without fail, handled all research and software matters in an efficient, competent manner and consistently exhibits a cheerful, concerned attitude to employees and their requests. Within six short weeks, we found ourselves promoting her to Product Support Analyst. The quality of Susan's work and her organizational skills are top notch. She exhibits good judgment and is always dependable, cooperative and flexible. Her attendance and punctuality is also excellent. She is an active team member and is always willing to take on any assignment. She has shown the kind of initiative that is necessary to be successful over the long-term in any endeavor she undertakes. I believe she will be an asset to your company and an outstanding employee. She is a conscientious worker and has an excellent work ethic. It is an honor to write this on Susan's behalf, and it is my hope that I have adequately conveyed my esteem for her. I recommend Susan to you without reservation.

Seriously, I just learned that this is Susan Barton's last day. For what it's worth, and certainly not to take anything away from the others, but I have never had projects turned around so quickly with such an incredible level of detail. I am used to many revisions and honestly, the past several layouts Susan has done have had very minor changes, and in fact, the training brochure which should have been a major project, came back perfect the first time! From my limited knowledge of working with her from the outside, she strikes me as a very intuitive, dedicated, talented person and a real asset to Seagate Software.

It has been my pleasure to work with Susan Barton for
the past five years. As Susan's direct supervisor, I
worked very closely with her. I have a great deal of
respect for Susan and her work ethic. She always handled
several projects at a time (most with extremely short
timeframes) and managed to keep her positive attitude
and sense of humor. Susan's efficiency and attention
to detail were key components in producing top-quality
business winning proposals. Whenever extra effort, in
terms of long hours or weekends was required, Susan
willingly did whatever it took to get the job done right
and on time. Susan's initiative, suggestions, creativity
and tendency to go beyond "just doing the job" resulted in changes which have become standard components of the HTE proposal and marketing departments. I heartily recommend Susan for any position that demands intelligence, creativity, and a determination to do the best job possible. HTE's loss will be another company's gain.

Susan, please
accept this letter of recommendation. As I've stated
frequently before, I have been in the proposal business
for 20 years, managing proposals up to $150 million,
and the work that you have done for me on the proposals
we provided to Lockheed Martin was the best I have seen
during my time in the proposal world. Your self-initiative
and energy were a welcome asset in producing proposals
with a very short fuse. When I asked you to work the
weekend, your response was positive and immediate. I
very much appreciate this "can do" attitude and this
helped us to be very successful.

I want to thank you Susan and express our appreciation
for the outstanding work you did in producing significant
proposals for the Lockheed Martin Account Team. Your
professionalism, tenacity, creativity, and hard work
(long hours) has allowed the Martin Team to generate
over 50 million dollars from your efforts. We believe
your talents would be a real asset to any proposal team,
in assisting any sales team to optimize their time and
business opportunities.

I had the privilege of having Susan Barton on my proposal
team. She was invaluable in several areas. Spreadsheet
design, input and extraction, a real Lotus Guru! I could
not have sold the pricing matrix to management without
her help. Proposal entry and editing, she understands
how to put a proposal together, not just where to type
and cut and paste. Susan has tireless energy. She is
the only proposal partner I have EVER worked with who
matched me hour for hour - even when those hours came
on Saturday and Sunday. I would without reservations
recommend her to anyone interested in putting together
a top quality proposal.

I wanted you to know what a difference that Susan Barton's
job on the response to Broken Arrow RFP made. HTE had
not had previous exposure to this City until the RFP
came out. Broken Arrow allowed us to spend two days
onsite getting a better understanding of their requirements.
This was a great opportunity but ended up in a lot of
customization in our response, which caused an enormous
amount of extra work for everyone, but mostly Susan.
Her willingness to put forth the extra effort even with
the short deadline and a vacation coming up, made the
difference and allowed us to get in the final selection
phase, which of course was ours to win, then. Again,
I just wanted you to know the great job Susan did and
show my appreciation for the great job Susan did on
the Broken Arrow response.

Susan Barton, I feel so very lucky to have such an "awesome"
employee working with me! Leaving town is hard enough
to do, and a year ago I wouldn't go away...but with
you here to watch over everything, I am confident that
all will go very well. I trust your decision making
very much, so if you have to make a "big" decision,
have confidence in yourself, OK? Thanks for all your
hard work.

Susan Barton was employed at the Ford Motor Credit Company
in the Taxes and Regulatory Reports Section. Susan was
very proficient in the use of the DECmate II word processor;
her typing was extremely fast and accurate. Susan exhibited
exceptional motivation especially during periods of
heavy workloads. She could be counted on to put forth
extra effort to ensure high quality work within very
tight deadlines. Her attendance was excellent, she was
always very punctual, and willingly volunteered for
overtime when it was required. Susan is very conscientious
and respected by her fellow employees.

I have been an independent contractor working for Brite
for the past 17 months, developing the Brite Intranet
and its underlying architecture. Today is my last day,
and therefore final opportunity as a member of the new
Intervoice-Brite organization to express my very high
regard for an employee that you may otherwise never
hear about. I have the greatest regard for Susan Barton. Susan
who works as a Proposal Analyst, is extremely competent,
highly dedicated and totally reliable. In addition
to those traits, she is a genuinely nice person.
