FEEDBACK THAT WAS EMAILED
FROM A COORDINATING SUPERINTENDENT AT THE TORONTO DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
July 3, 2012
Hi XXX. Let me start by staying how fabulous Nancy has been stepping in to a very new role for her. We originally
anticipated end of June for sure, and possible extension depending on the timelines needed to post/interview/hire/
establish a start date for the more permanent individual. We were lucky to be able to have this transition happen
for today...hence the original end of June date held.
Nancy is an extremely personable, diligent and hardworking individual. She was able to pick up on processes and
access our systems with ease, leading to a significant transition to independent work. We have a wide scope of
tasks - from administrative, to organizational/management of multiple schedules, to extensive work in databases.
We had several "end of year" tasks, including a large initiative regarding boxing/storing of files - completed in a
very timely fashion! Nancy would come with her own laptop as well, helping to bridge her knowledge/skills with
our approaches here at TDSB. She would often provide insights for helping us to improve ...wonderful tips and
support that we will continue to build on! She has left notes for the "incoming" individual to help with the next
phase of transitioning...an extremely thoughtful and much appreciated initiative - Nancy's personal experiences
with transitions are certainly welcome!
She has been a pleasure to work with, and certainly would be someone to call upon again, should the need arise.
Thank you so much for suggesting her as a good fit - you were absolutely correct!

MINUTED RECORD
FROM HALTON STANDARD CONDOMINIUM CORPORATION 534’S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
September 21, 2011
XXX, Secretary of the Board said it was important to the Board that we have an objective third party do the
minutes, recording all Board meetings and the AGM. Nancy Grsic, the Recording Secretary from Adminepreneur
Mobile Office Services actually has a unique system of keeping all the minutes in a database, so that when we
discuss issues, she checks the database simultaneously while recording the minutes, to see if the issues have been
discussed before, going back to the start of the Corporation. Providing that value, she really doesn’t charge us that
much for it.

MINUTED RECORD
FROM WCC 2’S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
November 25, 2009
The Treasurer of the Board said last year he was beside himself when Nancy Grsic, the Recording Secretary showed up
for the Annual General Meeting because we didn’t know she was coming and Bill had always prepared the minutes,
including over his thirty plus years in the property management industry. Bill did say that he has to admit they were the
best minutes we have ever had and that he has seen in 30 years. Others present said yes, they were. Bill added he was
very pleased with the minutes, as long as the rate doesn’t increase said to Nancy, please come back next year. Nancy
thanked Bill and everyone present stating it is her pleasure, that she passionately enjoys her profession, applies her best
to complete minutes, and asked those present to please go ahead and refer her services to their friends and professionals
at other corporations.

RECOMMENDATION THAT WAS EMAILED
FROM A DIRECTOR ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT H.C.C. 61
October 14, 2009
Nancy,
It is with pleasure that I recommend Adminepreneur Mobile Office Services.
Having served on our Board of Directors for several terms, and experiencing the services of other recording secretaries, I
can say that your skill goes beyond simply recording minutes of meetings. On a number of occasions when the board is
discussing a particular matter, you have searched your records (without being asked to do so) and, within seconds,
provided us with information from our past discussions on that very matter. For that alone, I find your service invaluable.

FORMAL REFERENCE LETTER
FROM A REGISTERED CONDOMINIUM MANAGER (RCM) IN THE CONDOMINIUM INDUSTRY
January 23, 2009
To Whom It May Concern,
This is the second year we have had the pleasure of associating with Nancy Grsic. In my 12-plus years in the business, I
have never met a more professional, talented, or personable Recording Secretary. Nancy is amiable, providing corporate
secretarial services to two Boards of Directors and me. While we are in an industry dealing with people, where there is
always the potential for conflict, there is no greater team player when it comes to all the different personality types.
Nancy has such an exacting pulse on our industry drawing specifically from her extensive background. Flexible, creative
and having the ability to maintain a sense of humour, Nancy motivates others through to positive resolution. Nancy
listens to all parties concerned, sees the big picture, is able to anticipate issues, provide early warnings to us, integrating
all the information to record minutes accurately and provides recommendations at times.
With exceptional capabilities, Nancy conceived and implemented a pragmatic tracker she named a Historical Compilation
Document, of her own initiative, where in seconds during meetings, she is able to retrieve exact information on record
from previous meetings. This tool is invaluable to us. Just this week, she provided another excellent service to us,
Nancy's innovative approach has lead to her accessing electronic copies of statutes pertinent to our industry, also on her
laptop and at her fingertips.
She is able to get the job done, done right, done on time, exceeding expectations. Nancy's value, when measured against
her peers, is truly head and shoulders above the rest. Anyone who hires her is truly fortunate to experience her
professionalism and broad capabilities. We would be pleased to provide you with additional information. Please feel free
to contact me personally should you require any further information.

FROM THE VP, HUMAN RESOURCES IN THE FILM INDUSTRY
December 13, 2007
To Whom It May Concern:
Nancy Grsic will be leaving XXXXX at the end of the month to pursue contract opportunities closer to her home in
Hamilton that will provide her with more flexibility in her schedule.
Nancy has been with XXXXX since July 2006 when she joined as I.S. Coordinator, filling-in for XXXXXX while on
maternity leave. Nancy was instrumental in supporting not only our Information Systems group, but also the Finance
department during the restatement process. In August of this year, Nancy took on the role of HR Coordinator acting
as our gatekeeper of information and as Canadian benefits administrator.
Nancy is a very dedicated individual with an extreme desire to assist others and contribute to the needs of the
business. She is always willing to go above and beyond, working additional hours when needed. In support of
Finance's administrative needs related to our 10K documents, Nancy worked into the wee hours on many occasions.
With a penchant for process improvement, Nancy dived into the world of human resources at XXXXX and has
introduced a number of process enhancements for us over the past several months.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

INCLUDING NANCY GRSIC
July 19, 2007
The Company is very fortunate to have a team of professionals such as yourselves. Your day to day diligence and
hard work under very difficult circumstances continues to amaze me. The fact that these materials were submitted to
the Board last night is an unbelievable accomplishment especially under these conditions.
Let's hope this ends so you get some well deserved time off and rest.
Please pass along my thoughts to the members of your team who contributed to this process.
Thank you!

FORMAL REFERENCE LETTER
FROM A DIRECTOR OF FINANCE IN THE FILM INDUSTRY
August 23, 2007
To Whom It May Concern,
Nancy Grsic has been contracted by XXXXX Corporation to cover a maternity leave position with the Information
Services department for the past year. During this period Nancy was required to assist the finance department in
typing and editing of our external financial statements. The accuracy and integrity of these financial statements is
extremely important as these financial statements are filed with the Canadian and U.S exchanges.
From my experience in dealing with Nancy, I would characterize her as organized, efficient, extremely competent, and
she developed an excellent rapport with all sorts of different personalities, which included the CFO of our
organization, other executives and non-executives within the Company and the external auditors. Her communication
skills, both written and verbal, have been excellent.
This past year was especially difficult, as the Company restated our financial results for the past five years which
required the team to work very long hours with minimal time off. During this time, Nancy did not once object or
complain about the stress levels and of the work load required of her. Nancy worked many nights past midnight with
the team to complete the work.
Nancy has been a great asset to us working in an extremely fast-paced environment and working with confidential
material. She is friendly and assertive while maintaining her professionalism. She has a strong work ethic, has been
very flexible with her time.
Nancy was an integral part of our team and will be missed. I highly recommend her to any future employer.

FORMAL REFERENCE LETTER
FROM A DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN THE FILM INDUSTRY
August 23, 2007
To Whom It May Concern:
Nancy Grsic worked for me as an IT Technical Support Coordinator from Aug 2006 through Sept 2007 as a maternity
leave replacement.
Nancy's job responsibilities included hardware and software purchasing, Help Desk call recording, and other
administrative support services for the IS Department. In addition she assisted the Finance Department with the
preparation of external 10Q and 10K Financial Statements.
During Nancy's employment with XXXXX, the Finance Department went through a process of restating their Financial
Statements, requiring her to work significant overtime. Nancy's unfailing good humour and willingness to work
evenings and weekends made her a valuable team member who contributed to the success of this exercise.
Nancy is extremely organized and good at time management, and she gets things done. She regularly asked for, and
accepted, extra responsibilities. Nancy works well with people at all levels of the organization including the CFO
during the filing of the 10K and 10Qs. Her high-energy personality, enthusiasm and positive attitude make her a good
team player.
One of Nancy's roles was to support the IT Help Desk function by answering Help Desk calls and creating tickets in
the Help Desk database. With her experience in Microsoft Word and Excel, she often took on the responsibility of
resolving user how-to questions and problems. She is good at looking for solutions that prevent problems from re-
occurring, rather than just fixing the immediate issue.
Nancy is very process-oriented and developed procedures, forms and checklists which made the workflow of the IS
department more effective. She constantly looks for ways to improve and streamline procedures.
It was a pleasure working with Nancy and I would definitely hire her again.

FYI - I found last year's speaker certificates in a binder that Nancy had made up and I faxed them to Rick Provo at
Chedoke. (Hopefully, he got my message that I was faxing them before the Fire Department left.) Just wanted to let
you know that it was really nice to find something so easily and it looks like the binder is well organized.
Thanks, Nancy for you help in getting this to the customer quickly.

EMAIL OF APPRECIATION
FROM A NATIONAL SALES COORDINATOR IN THE FIRE SAFETY & PREVENTION INDUSTRY
TO THE SALES/SERVICE MANAGER
February 10, 2006
Hello xxxxxxxx,
I just wanted to inform you that we had an emergency situation with Zellers #XXX, where the inspection needed to be
conducted immediately and sprinkler deficiency repair work needed to be done immediately. The Fire Inspector gave
HBC a deadline of February 13, 2006, if this store was not inspected, and the repairs not completed by then, the store
would be shut down. As I am sure you are well aware, to coordinate and get the work done is never a simple,
uncomplicated task. This task too had many obstacles...I first received the request on Jan 30 2006, at which time I
approached Nancy with this problem.
Nancy went out of her way, and went above the call of duty to help me, and our customer HBC in order to fix this
problem. She never complained once, even when she was receiving no cooperation from the mall, and the Zellers site.
At this time, the site is not only inspected, and deficiency work completed and certified, but all the paperwork is also
in, and submitted to the customer. Nancy truly saved the day. We all are quick to complain, I thought it was necessary
to inform of what a wonderful job Nancy did...in helping prevent the shutting down of this store.

FROM A DEAN OF HUMANITIES AT A UNIVERSITY
August 20, 2004
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Ms. Nancy Grsic performed as a temporary assistant to me in the office of the Faculty of Humanities, from May
through early August 2004. Nancy was polite, cheerful, and eager to become part of the office dynamic.
Nancy's computer skills were very good and she picked up the basics of xxxxx specific systems within a relatively
short span of time. She was always willing to help and offer forward suggestions with regard to the efficiency of the
office's daily function. In particular, Nancy excelled at furnishing two of our newest faculty members with formative
information about Hamilton and the surrounding area, various services and interests, once they had arrived at xxxxx.
She handled the personal logistics of their situations very well.
Nancy's particular strength lies in establishing a good working relationship with a supervisor and then catering to
their personal as well as professional needs. She would serve as a good personal assistant to a busy professional.
Should you require further information about Ms. Grsic, I would be happy to speak with you.

Subject: Part-time Administrative Assistant
Dear xxxxxxx,
I just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about our conversation regarding hiring a part time(?) secretary
for me and I must say that I have been so impressed with Nancy's work that she would be a great person to have as an
administrative assistant. I really need someone who is experienced and has a great capacity for finding resources,
uncovering a range of possibilities, dealing with others respectfully, etc., and I have been so impressed with her
thoroughness that I am convinced she would be excellent for the job. This would be great if it could be done because
it could save us a job search. Of course, as an outsider I don't know the particularities of how these things work, but I
wanted to at least provide some insight into how I feel about her qualifications. I also realize she is looking for a full
time job, but I thought if it were possible to divide her tasks with others, this would work out perfectly.

This will serve to confirm that Nancy Grsic was an employee in good standing with XXXXX from 2002 to 2003. She
performed a number of senior administrative duties that included but were not limited to:

• Classifying & collecting data for integration into new proprietary software, including needs analysis of
module set-up within the software
• Critical thinking, analysis & implementation of administrative areas for greater efficiency, automation and
cost-savings

to Nancy, we would hire her back.

To Whom It May Concern:
Nancy Grsic has been working for the mutual fund division of the xxxxx Group of Companies for just over a year. I
have worked with her for approximately 9 months and although she does not work directly for me in the operations
department, she is an integral part of the xxxxx team.
Nancy has demonstrated a good knowledge of mutual funds for only having been in the industry a short while. She is
extremely dedicated to company and to client service and her work ethic is without question. Attention to detail and a
team approach are a few of Nancy’s strengths. She will ‘do what it takes’ to become proficient in any area she might
be lacking.
In short, I am confident in her abilities and feel Nancy would be an asset to your company.

not I wish you every success. I feel sure that while you have a lot to learn that you are so very capable of a lot and that

FORMAL REFERENCE LETTER
FROM THE ADMINISTRATION MANAGER AT A FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPANY
October 23, 1998
To Whom It May Concern:
I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Nancy Grsic for over 5 years.
My first impressions of her were bold confidence and assertiveness. During the interview I wondered if she could
deliver?
Nancy's first position at the xxxxx Group of Companies was as a temporary entry-level clerical assistant with
specifically xxxxx Insurance Brokers Inc. (formerly xxxxx Brokers Ltd.). She secured a permanent position shortly
thereafter as a personal assistant to our President and myself.
Nancy was quick to demonstrate the skills and attitude necessary to be promoted within the xxxxx Group of
Companies. Always a key part of the xxxxx Team she has progressed through various departments and affiliates to
her current role as project coordinator, management assistant with xxxxx Financial. Nancy has a strong sense of pride
in her work, very apparent in her excellent attention to detail, high degree of accuracy, effective problem solving
capabilities and impeccable communicative and organizational skills. She is a truly gifted administrator. Nancy
possesses leadership qualities. She is a constructive coach to co-workers and sales representatives, offering
suggestions and encouraging improvement. Her opinions are requested and valued. She most definitely is an
effective marketer.
Nancy is not limited. Nancy can rise to any challenges.
Although I understand her reasons for pursuing potential opportunities outside of xxxxx, she will be missed.
I strongly recommend Nancy as she would be an asset to any organization.
25. 1ST TESTIMONIAL OF CHARACTER, VALUES, KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES
FORMAL REFERENCE LETTER
FROM THE PRESIDENT AT A FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPANY
October 23, 1998
Dear Sir / Madam,
Nancy is in her sixth year of employment with xxxxx. She commenced in a clerical position with an affiliate and was
promoted to various other positions, currently as a project coordinator/management assistant with xxxxx Financial,
our mutual fund dealer. She has many positive attributes, amongst which are:
• true team player
• effective problem determiner & solver
• adaptable in managing change & various projects exceptional client care
• works well under pressure unsupervised intuitive marketing sense
Nancy has earned the informal title amongst our staff and our clients, independent life insurance and mutual fund
representatives, as "Miss Efficiency", a most befitting and appropriate title. Nancy is commonly referred to as "no-
nonsense" which one would expect to be a potential negative. It is not. This direct approach emphasizes other's
needs; needs always facilitated as quickly as possible. Nancy is regarded as resourceful, and above all, competent.
All these positives apply to her current position with xxxxx Financial in which she has been employed a mere year.
Currently, she has undertaken compliance and procedures issues.
Nancy does not meet objectives satisfactorily — she consistently exceeds requirements.
I am aware Nancy seeks career advancement within the securities industry, aspirations, xxxxx is unable to presently
offer. Nancy is welcome to remain at xxxxx. Upon her ultimate departure, she will be missed. I have no doubt Nancy's
ambitions will be achieved. She would be an asset to any organization, especially the securities industry she enjoys.
Without hesitation I recommend her highly.
