To whom it may concern:
It is a genuine pleasure and honor for me to recommend Jay Vachhani. Jay
worked for me in the Estimating Department at E.J. Stewart Electric, Inc.
for 14 years.
During Jay's service with us we interacted frequently and I came to depend
on him. Jay was always punctual, easygoing, very goal oriented and a team
player. He was keenly devoted to his work, but being a real people person,
he was also enjoyable to be around. Jay demonstrated from early in his
tenure that he understood what business is all about. He was well
organized and thrived under adversity.
I would like to be very clear about why Jay is no longer with us. Jay is
available for new challenges only because of the recent economic conditions
affecting our industry.
In closing, let me say I have no hesitation in recommending Jay for
employment. I feel confident he would be an asset to your organization.
Sincerely,
Michael Messina
Senior Vice President
