Recommendation Letter - James Deighan

To
Whom
It
May
Concern:
I
am
pleased
to
write
this
letter
of
recommendation
for
Pedro
Gaiarsa.
I
highly
recommend
the
hiring
of
Pedro
in
any
capacity.
Pedro
came
to
us
as
an
international
student
and
I
hired
him
as
part
of
our
internship
program.
Pedro
worked
for
us
for
over
three
months
as
an
intern.
At
the
conclusion
of
his
internship
we
wanted
to
hire
Pedro
as
a
full-‐time
employee,
but
were
unable
to
do
so
as
he
was
required
to
return
to
Brazil.
Throughout
his
internship
I
was
able
to
observe
his
work
ethic,
technology
skills,
problem
solving
skills
and
interactions
with
fellow
interns,
employees,
and
supervisors.
To
date,
without
reservation,
I
can
say
that
Pedro
was
the
best
intern
we
have
ever
had.
Pedro
consistently
arrived
on
time
and
always
had
a
smile
on
his
face.
It
seemed
to
me
that
he
truly
enjoyed
his
work.
He
not
only
was
competent
at
his
job,
but
was
a
pleasure
to
be
around
as
a
person.
We
are
a
technology
recommerce
company.
We
receive
outdated
and
broken
IT
assets,
repair
them,
and
get
them
back
into
the
market.
Pedro
did
his
internship
in
the
technician
department
where
he
was
faced
with
a
wide
array
of
technology.
On
any
given
day
Pedro
was
presented
with
Servers,
Laptops,
Desktops,
Networking
Equipment,
Apple
hardware
and
others.
He
was
able
to
diagnose
functionality
issues
and
repair
them
effectively.
Pedro
has
great
capacity
to
receive
instruction,
but
is
also
extremely
resourceful
in
solving
problems
on
his
own
which
enables
him
to
work
independently.
I
felt
confident
that
when
I
would
present
Pedro
with
tasks
and
assignments,
they
would
be
accomplished
in
a
timely
manner
with
high
standards.
He
was
eager
to
learn
new
techniques
and
take
on
harder
projects
the
other
interns
shied
away
from.
Pedro
is
well
equipped
to
from
from
any
challenges
that
he
may
encounter.
His
work
ethic,
strong
knowledge
base,
and
personality
prepare
him
beautifully
for
employment.
He
truly
was
a
great
intern
that
I
wish
was
still
working
for
my
company.
A
true
asset.
I
strongly
suggest
making
Pedro
a
member
of
your
team.
If
you
require
any
further
information,
please
do
not
hesitate
to
contact
me.
Sincerely,
