05th October 2015 To Whom It May Concern; RE: CANDACE STAUB REFERENCE LETTER I highly recommend Candace as a candidate for employment based on the work she did for me while she was employed by Upstream Financial Services as a Financial Administrative Assistant. Candace was responsible for office support including word processing, scheduling appointments and creating brochures, newsletters, and other office literature. She was required to do cold calling, and bought in a large amount of business via this for the brokers she worked for While employed at Upstream she dealt with clients, brokers and head office employees of Liberty as well as various other insurance companies and medical aids.

Candace has excellent communication skills. In addition, she is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate. Candace can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She is flexible and willing to work on any project that is assigned to her. Candace was quick to volunteer to assist in other areas of company operations, as well. Candace has exemplary work ethic, is very hard working and would be an asset to any company she joins. If you require any further information please feel free to contact me on grant.lourens@liblink.co.za or 021 683 4074. Regards, ______________________ Mr GL Lourens

To Whom It May Concern:

LETTER OF REFERENCE FOR CANDACE NOLD

Candace Nold has been employed at Cape Town Fish Market in the V&A Waterfront from December 2004 to date. She was assisting in the running of the restaurant as a F.0.H Manager, waitress and on occasion helped out as a hostess.

Candace proved herself an indispensable resource during a time of increased restaurant pressure and a highly demanding working environment. There were often times where Candace was called upon to work consecutive shifts of over 14 hours.

Candace has proven her loyalty to the company by coming through for us in our time of need. This not only showed us that Candace is clearly loyal but also that she possesses levels of responsibility and maturity.

One of Candace's most distinguishing character traits is her calm and reassuring approach. Her strongly focused and hard-working work ethic almost goes entirely unnoticed as she presents herself as a well composed and relaxed employee. She never seems to shy away from hard work; instead Candace is one who endeavors to do everything to best of her ability. Candace is one who will take the time and ensure that she performs the job correctly.

She is very good at multitasking and handling pressure but she also has that uncanny ability to read the guests and their moods to a tee.

I recommend Candace to any future and prospective employers. It is very seldom that one finds employees like Candace, and when you do, they are an asset to any business. One is eager to find and fill any position with an individual of her caliber and undeniable potential.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any further queries or questions regarding Candace her

time with us or her work ethic.

Yours Sincerely

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN - REFERENCE LETTER ON CANDACE STAUB

Candace Staub was employed by us as an Au Pair during a very difficult time in our lives.

My husband was diagnosed with 4th stage Non Hodgkins lymphoma with a few weeks to live.

Just prior to my husband having been diagnosed and just 5 days before Christmas his father was attacked and died in our house during the early hours of the morning while we were trying to resuscitate him. Our daughters being only 18 years old and in Matric and 13 years old and going into puberty had put presents under the tree for their "grandpa". They were traumatized by this.

My husband was in hospital for 5 months and after very harsh chemotherapy treatments and a bone marrow transplant, a miracle was bestowed on us. Today he is cured. I spent every day for 5 months at the hospital to bring him home alive to his daughters, who lived in constant fear of their father dying at any moment. I am giving you a bit of background so that you can see what Candace is capable of under very stressful circumstances.

Candace would drive through from Sea Point every morning to collect our oldest daughter at 7am to take her through to school in Green Point. She would hold down a job in the morning, and collect our daughter at 2.30 from school and drive her back to Hout Bay. She would also, help with the many projects they have in Matric. She would take our daughter on the weekend to have metal etc cut for the projects.

At the later stages, I would often get home at 8pm at night and Candace would have thrown a salad and supper together for us. Candace would also, help our youngest daughter with her homework. Candace would attend to extra mural activities. She would drive our daughters through to the hospital at a moment’s notice, should their Dad not be doing well. She at times would take them to her flat to sleep, when I would have to overnight at the hospital during times of "close

calls". I felt assured that I could focus on what I had to do with and for my husband in hospital 24/7 as they often "slip through the cracks" when they are very sick and need 7 different types of mouth rinses every hour.

Candace would be punctual, bubbly, intelligent "think on her feet", capable, caring and be a surrogate mother to my youngest daughter.

I can highly recommend her for any position of employment, please feel free to phone me, Charmaine Howell on 0823321688, should you wish to discuss any matters further.

To Whom It May Concern:

LETTER OF REFERENCE FOR CANDACE STAUB

Candace Staub has been employed by me since Jan 2012. She handles all the administration for my playschool as well as the fundraising, accounts (debtors and creditors), newletters etc.

She is organized, efficient, and willing to do whatever is needed to get a particular task finished. Although her primary

duties were administrative, she assumed any roll required of her with ease and grace.

Candace fulfils her employment responsibilities with little to no supervision. The position requires interaction with the

public, as well as the ability to liaise between different departments. Success is dependent on strong communication

and interpersonal skills.

I am happy to act as a reference for Candace and can speak to her customer service skills, work ethic, computer literacy,

and professionalism. Please feel free to contact me should you require further information

Yours Sincerely
