To Whom It May Concern:
Having worked closely with [First Last Name]
for the past year, I highly recommend him as a strongly
reliable, independently resourceful, ambitiously alert and hard working
employee.
Since his first days on our Technical Support Staff,
[First Name] has consumed
information and
training materials in an effort to learn IBM's MVS/XA 3090 environment. He has
progressed rapidly.
In fact he is our current expert on clists.
[First Name] is a man
of action. He recognizes chances to streamline, correct or enhance, then
he steadily follows through with his solutions. For example, he independently
developed and
programmed an ISPF/COBOL based online problem tracking and reporting system. Our
entire MIS
department currently depends upon his facility for vital information.
Working with [First Name]
has sincerely been a pleasure. He is a team worker with a
great
attitude. He possesses the old-fashioned work ethics of honesty, intelligence,
faithfulness,
and pride. I recommend [First Name]
for any position that he seeks.
