You have something that’s much rarer than experience. You have the drive to figure it out, from scratch. That’s hard to teach, and super valuable.

Joe Zach:

Arlene is a natural teacher and is always eager to lend a hand. I personally know of dozens of programmers that have directly benefited from her help. She has helped people solve all manner of problems with open-source projects, resumes, homework, job interviews, blogging, and presentations. Arlene is not the type to say "not my job", she is more the type to say "let me help".

You would be so valuable to some smart employer out there.

She is extremely intelligent, hardworking and someone who I would trust to follow through on her commitments. She is an exceptional communicator capable of breaking down complex issues and complicated business problems in a concise way. She is dependable, enthusiastic and I can always vouch for her to go out of the way to help someone. She constantly tries to sharpen her skills, technical as well as soft ones and is always learning something new.
