Where should the comma go in this sentence?
"I am also accomplished in maintaining a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail as evident by my performance as a [job title] with [company name] where I frequently exceeded my unit's average in terms of both quantity and quality of work"
I'm trying to decide whether a comma should go between "detail" and "as", "[company name]" and "where", or both, or neither. I'm leaning towards placing it between "[company name]" and "where". Thoughts? It's for my resume, hence the pickiness.

Cheers Clive! I would never have caught the evident/evidenced bit. I also agree with you that "the first part already suggests the latter part", but I'm taking both terms verbatim from the job description. Thanks again!
