Hi Coco, Cindy & Yolanda,

Thanks so much for the reference check and I have received the offer today for this AA role!

Joining Bly probably was the wisest thing I have ever done for my career where I learned all the basic knowledge needed in the real working environment and Coco is such a great role model.

After the internship I got a job as an accounts clerk recommended by a previous boss of my part time job demonstrating that social networking is highly important.

Soon after I started working with this company, I started my CPA and have now finished 3 segments. I realised that I needed another job (something more substantial that could fulfill the CPA PER). So, I started job hunting again.

As we all know, the job market has been quiet for a while and there were not as many job ads on Seek. But luckily, I got this interview opportunity. After 2 rounds of interview, and thanks to Coco's reference, I got it!

So do not give up no matter how long you have been trying. Maybe your dream job is just waiting for you around the corner.

Thanks again Coco for the reference check!
Thank you Selina and Cindy for caring about me so much and being actively involved with my reference check!

Wish you all the best and you are the best!

Kind regards,

Sally
