To whomsoever it may concern:
National Pharmaceuticals Ltd., employed Richard Anderson an research associate from Sept. 01, 2003, to Feb. 29, 2004. His responsibilities included bench work involving prepping samples, analyzing test data results, keeping accurate lab notebooks, entering and manipulating data in a lab information management systems, literature searches, drafting parts of scientific reports, etc. During his time with us, Richard showed himself to be a less than an ideal employee.
Although much of the work Richard completed was average and satisfactory, most of his assignments were finished after stated deadlines. Many of his
entries in the book contained multiple errors. When the management offered him constructive criticism, he showed little interest for improvement and demonstrated an overall negligence and resistance to any sort of critique of his work. Richard's attitude in the workplace appears to be his major limitation.
Richard may have the potential to become an excellent scientist, however, his abhorrence to accept criticism prevents him from becoming such. I would hesitate to recommend Richard for any job where he might be required to accept commentary on his performance or be expected to show signs of improvement. He does have the ability to complete basic research projects.
