To Whom It May Concern:
This is a letter to personally recommend Patty M. Szymanski for the position she’s applying for with your company. I had the pleasure of being Patty’s supervisor for close to three years while she’s been working at Caterpillar.
Patty is supporting all of the individuals in the office plus handling all administrative responsibilities that go with maintaining an office. Patty is dependable and is willing to stay late to complete any tasks asked of her. She works hard to please her co-workers, and is quick to respond to a request as well as the follow-ups that are required. Patty handles many office issues with little or no supervision. She exhibits good judgment in her efforts to be cost conscious as she orders supplies, which is one of her many responsibilities. Patty is very knowledgeable in her current role. She is continually willing to learn new skills and integrate them into her job. She is very productive and client satisfaction oriented.
Patty also introduces new ideas. For instance, she suggested more efficient ways to distribute reports and she recommended various lower cost (higher quality) vendors after doing the research on her own. Patty has a way with planning meeting lunches and work celebrations that is very creative and adds a special touch to each event. Patty is very well organized and leaves a good path for others to follow. She interacts with her co-workers in a respectful manner in the office and with our people all over the globe.
Patty is a pleasure to work with and will be greatly missed. I wish her the best of luck in her job search/career move.
Sincerely,
Mark E. Lang
Business Support Manager
Caterpillar Logistics Services Inc.
