Experience feedback
I had the pleasure of working with Maryam on a research project focused on artificial intelligence applications and market analysis. Over the course of her 60-hour engagement, she completed three key research tasks that required attention to detail, independent work, and adaptability in a rapidly evolving field. Maryam's primary responsibilities included designing and preparing a survey to assess AI usage patterns among a targeted group of contacts, building a comprehensive prospect list with accurate contact information, and compiling a detailed resource document cataloging various AI platforms, their pricing structures, and practical use cases. Each of these tasks required her to navigate emerging technologies and information that is constantly changing—a challenge she handled with professionalism and enthusiasm. What impressed me most about Maryam was her ability to take clear direction and execute efficiently. I provided guidance on the project objectives and methodology, and she consistently delivered quality work within the agreed-upon timelines. She demonstrated strong organizational skills and a proactive approach to her assignments, asking thoughtful questions when needed and working independently when appropriate. As a first-year university student, Maryam brought genuine engagement and curiosity to the project. She was reliable, communicative, and professional throughout our collaboration. While the research tasks were fundamental in nature, they required diligence and accuracy, qualities that Maryam demonstrated consistently. I would gladly recommend Maryam for future projects or employment opportunities. Her work ethic, ability to follow through on commitments, and professional demeanor make her a valuable asset to any team. She has the foundational skills and attitude that will serve her well as she continues her academic and professional journey.
