Letter of Recommendation

  • June 18, 2021
  • Dear Hiring Manager
  • It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Jimmy for a position with your organization.
  • I’ve known Jimmy for more than 13 years. First at Rockline Industries and I personally selected / hired him to assist in the start-up of a new manufacturing facility in Booneville, AR. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Jimmy and know him to be an extremely valuable asset to any team. He is honest, dependable, intelligent and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, he is an impressive manager who knows how to accomplish the mission while balancing the needs of the associate. He is successful!
  • Jimmy was directly responsible for the successful start-up and 10 year expansion of our manufacturing operation in Booneville. During his time at the site, the plant never failed to be the most efficient and cost effective of three manufacturing plants in the state. In addition to starting the Booneville operation, Jimmy was also responsible for the successful start-up and installation of the first two manufacturing lines at our Russellville plant.
  • Second, in June 2019, I recruited and hired Jimmy for a position as my Production Manager in order to assist in the turn-around of an operation at Albaad, USA. His favorable impact was immediate with improved line efficiencies which resulted in profitability in less than one year. Jimmy has a diverse background and is the most knowledgeable person I’ve met at either Rockline or Albaad, USA with regard to the policies and procedures required to run a smooth and successful operation.
  • Along with his undeniable talent, Jimmy has always been an absolute joy to work with. He is a true team player, and always manages to foster positive discussions and bring the best out of the associates.
  • Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Jimmy to join your organization. As a dedicated and knowledgeable employee, and an all-around great person, I know that he will be a beneficial addition to your team.
