During the tenure of his work with us, Salah was The Perfect Employee any manager would love to have. He was not only a pleasant, well mannered, ethical and hard working employee, but he also was an excellent linguist, who got promoted twice in one year. Just before leaving us, Salah was promoted to a QC linguist. I have been very proud of him, and I will never hesitate to hire him again, should the opportunity arise. Wishing him all the best.
