To Whom It May Concern:

Jose worked in the Housekeeping Department at the Esplanade Hotel under my

supervision during the summer of 2010. During that time I developed a very high view for
Jose based on the outstanding contributions that he made to this department throughout
the summer. In fact, Jose has been the most productive summer staff member that the
Housekeeping department has employed during my stay here at the Esplanade.

Mr. Gonzalez has exhibited an outstanding combination of speed and accuracy

that has enabled him to produce a very high volume of work while maintaining very high
standards for quality. Staff has often said that "I can't believe that Jose is done with that
job already"! Jose was able to follow complex directions in a thorough and detailed
manner and also worked very independently without close supervision when it was
appropriate. Rarely did staff need to explain a process or procedure to Jose more than
once. Jose is an organizational whiz who can work on multilayered tasks and balance
multiple projects at the same time.

Jose's upbeat demeanor and can do attitude brightened the department and
made him a very low maintenance employee. Jose's strong verbal and written
communications skills allowed him to relay information in a clear and consistent manner.
Jose is a naturally caring person with a strong helping orientation.As you can tell by now,
I am quite impressed with this outstanding young man and give him my strongest
recommendation for roles which require intelligence, organization, communication skills,
service and a positive attitude. Please fell free to contact me if you need additional
information or perspective.

Sincerely,

Francis Hernandez
