Testimonials
Feedback from mentors, professors, and professionals who have seen my work ethic, communication skills, and commitment to meaningful work in action.
Here are some testimonials from previous employers who have worked with me.
I have known Jonathan Swartz for a number of years. We have shared many conversations about life and goals and I have always been impressed by his passion for the things he is interested in. How he responds to his passions and the choices he makes are the challenges for him. As he has matured, I have known him since he has been a young teenager, he has come to understand these challenges better and has progressed successfully to college and to understanding his strength and weaknesses better as he continues his college career. He is very intelligent, is a good communicator and fun to talk to, and has the potential to excel at whatever career path he chooses.

I have known Jonathan Swartz nearly his whole life. I have always been impressed with his curiosity. Even from a very young age he showed great interest in both science and math, and we’ve had numerous discussions on both. He will pursue a topic with great tenacity and will challenge the standard conclusions. I am always struck by the depth of his knowledge. I believe him to be a person of great potential

My Resume:
Jonathan is surprisingly well-informed about a wide variety of topics. He is extremely curious about other people’s points of view and willing to listen. He knows how to evaluate the things he hears and learn from them without being judgmental. In a time when society sometimes seems to be losing its ability to have a debate that’s more than an excuse for accusations & name calling, Jonathan is more than a breath of fresh air, he gives me hope for the future. Jonathan is a good listener. This gives him the ability to understand the point of a conversation without feeling the need to refute everything that he hears. He is very well-informed, but he understands that this doesn’t mean he has ‘all the truth’. Some people are threatened by opposing points of view. Jonathan never seemed to feel that way. Instead he learned to creatively integrate different ways of seeing the world and resolve conflicts through compromise, instead of conflict.
