Reference

Mr David Lowery Carpentry and Joinery Lecturer Polytechnic West Eddie Barron Road Midland Western Australia 18th December 2012 RE: Reference for Jake Vernede To whom it may concern, I have known Jake in my capacity as a Carpentry Lecturer at Polytechnic West for approximately twelve months. In this time I have found him to be a very pleasant and hard working apprentice. Jake has always been a valuable member of the cohort and a student who is extremely trustworthy. In my opinion Jake’s finest attribute is that he is always willing to help other members of the group who may be struggling. These qualities have led to Jake being nominated for ‘Carpentry Apprentice of the Year’ at Polytechnic West’s 2012 Student Award Ceremony. Jake has exceptional Carpentry skills and I would have no hesitation in recommending him for a Carpentry position with any construction company. Should you wish to contact me regarding Jake, please contact the construction staff room at Polytechnic West on 08 9374 6103 Yours Faithfully D A Lowery
