Titel: amerikanisches Arbeitszeugnis - soll ich es ändern lassen?
Beitrag von: Praktikant am Januar 11, 2006, 11:57:31 Vormittag
Hallo,
wie kann man ein amerikansiches Arbeitszeugnis bewerten? Die Amis kennen unsere Arbeitszeugnisse und die hier üblichen Formulierungen nicht. Trotzdem habe ich von meiner Praktikumsfirma ein Arbeitszeugnis ausgestellt bekommen.

Meine Frage ist nun, kann ich es so lassen oder ist irgendetwas negativ auszulegen? Die Firma ist offen für Änderungswünsche.
Mich ärgert nur die Firmenvorstellung, da es eine Klitsche als Auslandsniederlassung einer deutschen Einzelhandels-Holding war und ich vorher nur für Grossunternehmen gearbeitet habe.  Was meint ihr, ist das sogar positiv, wenn man auch in einer kleinen Firma Erfahrungen gesammelt hat?

Was haltet Ihr von den Formulierungen?


INTERSHIP REPORT FOR XXX

My name is Ms. XXX.  I am the Controller and Corporate Secretary of XXX USA, a subsidiary of XXX Holding Company.

In a small company headquarters, each individual is critical and must perform many functions.  We are usually short-staffed and fast paced, so an intern is a welcome resource but our expectations for performance that makes a difference are very high.

Mr. XXX worked directly under my supervision as an intern in the Accounting and Finance Department from April 18, 2005 through July 22, 2005 and indirectly for the President, Ms. XXX, on various assignments.

EVALUATION

Early on in the internship, XXX displayed many skills.  His command of the spoken and written language was very good; his understanding of accounting and finance was comprehensive.

He grasped the basic accounting routine very quickly and was able to perform these tasks with very little supervision.

Once he had a familiarity with the business operations, he was able to make suggestions for improvements.  With his basis knowledge of the operations, he was able to work on special projects and analyze financial problems.  Finally, he was able to assist and make contributions to the development of a business plan.

XXX's work habits were very good.  He was timely and willing to put in extra time when needed.

On a personal level, he was a delight to work with.  XXX was very well respected by his co-workers and fast became a welcome member to this close-knit team.

In summary, it was a pleasure to have XXX at XXX USA these past three months.  He is a bright, talented and delightful young man.

Without hesitation I would certainly recommend him as competent in international business.

Very truly yours,



Ms. XXX, CPA   
Controller & Corporate Secretary
