To Whom It May Concern:
The Tahera Diamond Corporation employed Tyler Vandepolder full-time as a senior diamond sorter. For more
than two years he worked independently and efficiently managed the sorting, classifying and diamond
inventory. At times when things were slow, Tyler had no problem lending a hand in other areas to help the
business needs. His dedication and commitment would be an asset to any organization.
Tyler is an intelligent and motivated individual. He is more than capable of working within a team environment
or working alone with little or no supervisory support. As senior sorter, Tyler would be responsible for training
and mentoring others who at times, would be working within the sorting facilities. With his extra efforts we
managed to keep the sorting team to a minimum without sacrificing quality or product delivery.
As part of his responsibilities, Tyler would have to entertain visitors and dignitaries through the sort house
while maintaining a high level of professionalism in a very high secure area. Peers and visitors alike would
often tell me that Tyler was interesting to talk to and answered questions accurately and creditably. I believe
that developing quality relationships with various people is good business and Tyler represented the company
well.
If you would like additional information about Tyler, you can telephone me at (780) 644-9120.
Sincerely,
Harold Gates
