Good morning,
“Rosemary has a difficult and challenging commodity involving both standard as well
as built to print items. She has a strong knowledge of Oracle and eCompras and
handles this commodity and with a high degree of effectiveness. Many issues arise as
a result of Rosemary’s difficult commodity. She handles them well by examining the
options, choosing the right one, then fixing the underlying problems to keep them from
happening again. Many ask Rosemary’s help regarding AP holds. A strong team
player. Rosemary is always helping other Buyers. She completes her workload and
then helps other with theirs. Rosemary has solid relationships with personnel in the
plant and works well with her supply base.” - Purchasing Manager, Sanmina-SCI
As a Procurement Specialist, I have the knowledge to receive a purchase request; issue
the request for quotes/proposals; evaluate the quotes for the best price and delivery
plus any other evaluation criteria required by the end customer; some customers
require no excess; looking for broken reels for passive parts and other medical
customers require no broker buys. Some customers have qualifying criteria for
suppliers/brokers that must be maintained. From the quotes PO’s or blanket PO’s are
issued, modified and closed out. PO’s should be issued per the quote and packing slips
are issued per the PO then the invoice mirrors the packing slip keeping the accounting
issues to a minimum. Good communication skills are a must keeping everyone in the
know especially on difficult days and on more pleasant days as well.
I have worked as a Buyer for 13 years. In that time I have bought by customer, by
commodity using MRP, DRP, fax machines, spread sheets, access programs, Oracle-
eCompras and from a part number written on a sticky note. I was raised on a farm and
I am not afraid of working long hard hours. I believe in truth and try to see the good in
everyone. I would appreciate any consideration. Please let me know what I need to do
to help.
My resume is attached for your review.
Thanks again,
Rosemary Palmer

Rose,
Below is my recommendation. If you need me to send it another way just
let me know. I hope this is ok.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have worked with Rosemary Palmer for over 20 years. In the
twenty years we worked together she was always the first to work and the
last to leave. She takes pride in her work and always wants to learn
more and become the champion in here area. If anyone ever had any
purchasing questions they never hesitated to ask Rosemary. Her warm
hearted personality naturally draws people to her.
I did not directly supervise Rosemary but anything I needed a "user
perspective" on she was readily available and always willing to lend a
helping hand. Rosemary was able to give me as an IT manager the real
world scenario on how we could, from an IT perspective, streamline
process to make them cost effective. Much thought goes into the things
Rosemary does, and she has an unusual ability to notice what others
overlook. Rosemary is a hard-working self-starter who invariably
understands exactly what a project is all about from the outset, and how
to get it done quickly and effectively.
In closing, as detailed above, based on my experience working with
her, I can without any reservation recommend Rosemary Palmer to you for
any senior buying position.
Sincerely,
Sandra Lang
IT Director
