Justin Deltener From RealTruck Inc. Joel Wurgler From ApexEffect Michelle Blaney From Distance Minnesota Posted on 07/25/2011 "I had the opportunity to work extensively with Jordan during his time at the Minnesota Online Support Center. I have always been impressed with Jordan's eager approach to acquiring new skills, and his ability to find innovative means to apply those skills within the working environment. Jordan is a highly motivated individual with a talent for the rapid development of effective self-directed studies. He also has the ability to work very effectively on an individualized basis, while being a valuable member of the workplace team. I have missed collaborating with Jordan on projects, and would recommend him to anyone seeking an intelligent, hard-working and motivated web programmer."
Dan Flynn From Minnesota State Community & Technical College Posted on 06/03/2005 "When I worked as an instructor Jordan was a student and advisee of mine in the Internet Design and Programming program as Northwest Technical College. Working as the CIO I hired Jordan to work for Minnesota State Community & Technical College (MSCTC) on several web design/programming projects...
...He was a good student who put in the extra effort to learn all he could from each course. Jordan worked well in team projects and demonstrated good leadership skills. I found that Jordan was quick to grasp and apply advanced concepts.
Jordan's work for MSCTC has been of high quality and his projects have been completed on time. He worked well with the MSCTC Webmaster and college clients... I know Jordan would be an excellent addition to your staff."
Vicki Leaderbrand From Distance Minnesota Posted on 05/10/2005 "One of the things that really impresses me about Jordan is his ability to pick up quickly on his client's needs. For example, I was trying to develop an integrated, interactive website for my department and knew the end result I was trying to acheive, but not how to get there. Jordan was able to understand exactly what I was looking for, suggest several options and create a pilot site that was extremely user friendly and workable.
Finally, I want to stress what a pleasure it is to work with Jordan. He is very customer-focused, detail-orientated and self-motivated. His even-keeled personality makes it a joy to work with him even during stressful situations and demanding deadlines."
Lynn Durwood From Minnesota State Community & Technical College Posted on 04/10/2003 "I was very pleased when Jordan Buermann asked me to write a letter of recommendation. I have known Jordan as a student in my Internet Design classes for the last three years. Overall, Jordan has been a very conscientious and able student. Jordan is particularily proficient with HTML, which gives him a very solid base for any web production. In class, we could always count on Jordan's assignments to be the most unique and innovative.
During the last few years, Jordan has created several websites for businessses in the area. His work was consistently of highest quality and well received by his clients. Jordan's best attributes are his creativity and his enthusiasm for his work. He has demonstrated an ability to create exceptional web pages. He is creative and, in addition, is a capable programmer.
Jordan has demonstrated the kind of creativity, aptitude and persistence necessary to be successful in the web design field. I recommend him to you with confidence."
