To whom it may concern,
It is my pleasure to recommend Jaco Cilliers for employment at your organisation.
I have known Jaco for two and a half years, during which he worked as the layout
and graphic designer for Bruidsgids & Wedding Guide magazines. I can speak out of
both perspectives as we worked together as colleagues before I took over the business.
It’s a joy to work with Jaco. He does everything you ask him to do with a smile and
nothing is ever too much of an effort for him. He always walks the extra mile.
He has a good relationship with all his clients and colleagues. He is a hard worker
who faces all his challenges with enthusiasm.
Jaco is a very creative person, but also very organised. He is energetic and very
passionate about his work. He has good work ethics and take pride in his work.
He is exceptionally good at what he does.
Above all, he is honest, dependable, dedicated, a team player and an
all-round good person.
No company or person will ever be the same after their paths have crossed with his.
He is a remarkable young man to keep track of, and he will certainly be an asset to
any company.
If you have any questions you are more than welcome to contact me at- /-Kind regards,
Mariet van Niekerk
Director of Bruidsgids Pty(Ltd)
