recommendations

These are actual recommendations I have received on the professional

networking sight, LinkedIn.com. I believe these recommendations really

represent the productive relationships I had not only within the company,

but also outside of the company with the supply base. Please feel free to

view my profile on LinkedIn at the below link.

Gordon Huncilman, President / C.E.O., Bert R. Huncilman & Son, Inc. (business partner)

was a consultant or contractor to you

"Workhorse Chassis is a customer of ours and those at our company had

contact with her as often as daily. Amanda was professional and generally

great to work with in every one of her various positions within the

purchasing department. We wish her well and hope to be able to again have a

working relationship in the future." October 29, 2009

Ken Jones, Purchasing Commodity Manager, Workhorse Custom Chassis (colleague)

managed you indirectly

"I worked with Amanda for over four years at Workhorse. In that time, I

watched her grow from a purchasing administrative assistant to an associate

buyer. She took on increasing responsibility while going to school to get

her undergraduate degree. Keeping her three roles, associate buyer, mother

and student on track at the same time shows good focus and sense of

purpose. I can fully recommend Amanda for any entry level buying position

where she could continue to learn and grow" October 25, 2009

Jaco Calitz, Project Manager, Workhorse Custom Chassis (colleague)

worked with you

"Amanda is hardworking, trustworthy and a team player. She is very

friendly, respectful and helpful all the time. It was always a pleasure

working with her." October 30, 2009
