Need help with internship reference - JUST CHECK [I already have it!]
0 hi, 02 br
02 br
00 I got a reference these days for an internship I did some month ago in a worldwide operating company. As I am not a native English speaker I would really appreciate your help: could some of you read over it and tell me if it is good. I mean: i understand the text, however I know that there are always sentences that a "normal" reader thinks good about, but a "experienced" reader (e.g. the human resources chief of another company) may not. An example: if in the text I'm described as a "creative colleague", maybe my sister thinks that's a positive thing because this means I always had lots of good ideas that helped to improve the whole department processes, but for example it may be an unwritten rule for human resources guys that this means that the person described is somebody with quite odd ideas that aren't very helpful most of the time... 02 br
02 br
00 I think you got the thing I want 05 0 02 br
00 So here is the text. Please tell me _ALL_l the things that seem "strange" or not very good to you (e.g.: "too short", errors, and so on). 02 br

00 During his time with us, Mr. Verne worked on the following tasks: 02 br

00 - Test and implementation of a new web based event scheduling tool 02 br
00 - Collected, edited and interpreted data for an extensive country market analysis 02 br

00 Mr. Verne always proved himself to be a very motivated colleague, who integrated himself quickly within the team. He took full ownership of his assigned projects, showed creativity and initiative. His behaviour with colleagues and superiors was impeccable. 02 br

00 a colleague of mine asked me if there isn't some sort of (strange?) change in style between the first two points of my work description and the third one ("set up", "test and implementation" vs. "collectED, editED and interpretED"). Ain't it better to use the -ing form for the verbs
