"Dear Colleague, I am writing this as a letter of recommendation for Ross Dodwell. Ross and I worked in the same Technology organization, and I had the distinct pleasure of working with him on a few critical engagements.
Ross is a diligent, dedicated and talented co-worker. I know I interrupted him on occassion over weekends to get questions answered, and he was only too willing to help! My specific request was the first of a longer engagement that involved the organization's ability to identify fixed and variable technology costs across our client base. This involved mapping client specific data across multiple tracking systems and piecing the parts together.
Ross's expertise, fundamental work ethic and collaborative spirit are what helped us work to achieve the deliverable in a 2 week timeframe. What I especially valued was his easy-going manner towards helping those who requested it of him. This applied to many outside the organization and the requests often were those not specific to his specific area of focus.
I highly recommend Ross as an asset for any organization that is able to hire him. He has the right skills; right attitude and mindset that will serve the organization and help it foster a healthy collaborative culture.
