Re: Recommendation for Chris Skuda
Dear Hiring Manager:
Chris worked at Grayhawk Golf Club for three years (2012-2015) as one of our leading servers/bartender. During his first two years Chris and I worked side by side as servers (I moved on to a new position), and for his remaining year I was his direct supervisor. Chris always demonstrated enthusiasm, self-motivation and professional demeanor during his tenure at Grayhawk. He consistently demonstrated all of these qualities and more, and I heartily endorse him for this position.
Chris is reliable, dedicated and eternally upbeat. His ability to adapt to any situation, attention to detail and willingness to lend a hand is unparalleled, and it is because of his excellence in these areas that he was always a favorite to work with. Chris multitasks effectively and is able to handle a high-volume workload. Chris is also able to communicate effectively with other co-workers, making him a great addition to any team.
Chris is a hardworking, top-performing service professional. With his skill set, adaptability, and dedication, Chris is an asset to any team. I have no doubts you will be exceptionally pleased if you hire him. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Austin Berger
Restaurant/Bar Manager
Grayhawk Golf Club
