To Whom It May Concern:
I have had the pleasure of working with Robert for several years at Food
Lion Distribution Center in Disputanta, VA. I would like to take a moment
to tell you why you should hire Robert Gibson.
As Inventory Control Supervisor, my staff was limited, but I always went to
Robert as my first line of defense. As my key player in Inventory Control,
Robert has the background needed in shipping and receiving to be a power
player within any Inventory Control Department.
To name but a few of his strengths, he can get answers as to why, what,
how, when, etc adjustments have been made. He is relentless in
investigating and determining errors in inventory. He's an analytical
thinker and will stop at nothing until he determines and corrects errors.
Additionally, he is very computer savvy and was my 'go to' guy for anything
I needed in that area as well.
I hope that you will give consideration when hiring your staff and I
promise you will not regret hiring him.
Should you need to speak with me, please feel free to call me at anytime.
Respectfully,
Judy Plage
