“I wanted to write just to say how much I’ve been admiring your web site for the First UU Church of Winnipeg! ... Your site is beautiful, comprehensive, well-written. I really appreciate your publication guidelines and “Webmaster’s Notes” pages, which will help me save my voice talking my committee member’s ears off about things like standards.”

Letters of Recommendation

The following are excerpts from letters of recommendation I have received.

“…I found Karin to be extremely efficient, competent, positive and helpful as she worked on this project. She soon showed us that she was capable of working in a self-directed manner [working] in a liaison capacity with the Manufacturing Engineering department.

“She was able to spot the majority of the problems in her workflow and deal with them herself or with a minimum of help from other publications staff. She also displayed sound judgment when dealing with matters of style and editing.

“Due to Karin’s competence in this position, the project went smoothly for our department. She has always expressed a willingness to help out with other tasks whenever work on her primary assignment slowed down. Her knowledge of the FrameMaker system and her abilities in training others made her a definite asset during this project.”

—Fred Carstens, New Flyer Publications

“I worked quite closely with Karin during her term…and her technical computer skills are exemplary. She would definitely be an asset to a company needing vast knowledge of software programs such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. She would also be an ideal addition to a Computer Services department as a software specialist... I really [think] Karin’s expertise is outstanding.”

—Terry Samborski, Winnipeg Airports Authority

“Karin has consistently demonstrated a very high degree of musicianship, professionalism and positive attitude towards the job and her colleagues…She always gives 150% and goes the extra mile without being asked. I have no doubt that Karin would be an asset to any employer and recommend her without hesitation.”

—Peter Harley, Bandmaster, Norwegian Dynasty
