Dear Jane,
I have had a professional relationship with Joey Barman for the past 3 years. We have worked in many capacities together, including, but not limited to: shop forman, scheduling manager and chief supervisor.
For the whole time that Joey and I have worked together, he has demonstrated incredible leadership quality, always showed respect for his employees, was never late for work, or presented a bad attitude.
I think that Joey would be an excellent candidate for whatever job you have in mind.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 564-342-3422.
