To whom it may concern:
I had the pleasure of working with Valerie Locay where she served as a
leader in the social media department. I can truly say that there was not
a tasked left undone or a job to big for Valerie. She was always willing
to go above and beyond to make sure that her work was not only acceptable
but exemplary. I would like to formally recommend to anyone considering
Ms. Locay for employment with their organization to hire her. Running a
business in South Florida can be a daunting task, and finding talented
sales employees can be even more difficult. She eased the burden. I
would say that her core strengths were her personal skills, strong written
and oral communication, and her consistency to follow through with her
clients. Valerie is very well organized and an extremely hard worker. I
would also go on record by saying that I am asked to write 20-30
recommendation letters a year, and this is the first I am writing this
year. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Nick Veser
