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

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
