Letter of Recommendations:
To whom it may concern:
This to confirm that was employed from summer of 2005 through the spring of 2012, with a brief time away with another employer in 2006. During that time she progressed from Lab Technician to Lab Manager. Linda capably organized the lab and the many lab tests required to confirm Honey wholesomeness and purity. She grew in skills concerning food microbiology, analytical chemistry and physical chemistry. Linda ran such analyses as antibiotics using Hplc/ms/ms and eliza arrays. She ran sugar profiles on an Hplc using RID . Her bilingual (Spanish and English) skills were an asset to our organization. She helped build a trace-recall database and was always ready to learn new things.

To whom it may concern
In connection with an extensive IT project I have been undertaking for the last two years, I came to know very well. I found her to be very conscientious and supportive of this difficult project to analyze, write and implement an inventory management system for her company, Honey Solutions of Baytown Texas. She was particularly helpful with her input and ideas on the laboratory data base portion which was crucial to the success of the whole project. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any employer.
Yours sincerely
David T. Gardiner
