To Whom It May Concern:
This letter should serve as a recommendation for Dean Phillips. Dean had worked for our company, Gehl Foods, Inc., for nearly 7 years (December, 2001 until October, 2008). Due to some unfortunate personal circumstances, Dean was out placed. Simply, he was termed a “no call/no show” and our handbook clearly points out that this is grounds for termination. Was this his intention? The answer is no. Dean was an excellent employee whom unfortunately broke a very strict rule. This is not Dean. I strongly recommend that you listen to his personal situation for it involves a family member he had grave concerns for. Mistakes were made and he is willing to admit and discuss them.
Why would I strongly recommend Dean Phillips to any employer? Despite this one time mistake he was an outstanding employee. Listed are the qualities that should be strongly considered.
• Extremely capable, bright and learns quickly
• Followed procedures extremely well. This was critical in an aseptic food company where procedures are the core of your success.
• He was extremely responsible. He held one of our more serious jobs as a line operator on an aseptic line.
• Dean was extremely flexible. He knew many processes and offered us flexibility by his knowledge.
• He came to work on time and had excellent attendance.
• Dean possesses an excellent attitude. He was well liked by management and his peer group.
• Dean was always willing to work overtime, change his schedule at last minute to accommodate our needs. I would term him a “company person”
There are many other qualities on top of these that I would be very willing to discuss. I recommend him highly.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 262-***-**** Ext. 127.
Respectfully,
John P. Shaughnessy
Vice President, Operations
