To,
Maneka Sharma,
H.O.D Digital Marketing,
SuperEventz Event Management Solutions,
Subject: Request for Letter of Recommendation
Dear Maneka,
I hope you have been doing well. It’s hard to believe it has been three years
since I had the opportunity to work as intern at your prestigious organization. I
had taken major training under your supervision and learned a lot about
hosting and managing successful events while working on multiple projects.
The multiple domains which were handled under your guidance helped me
learn the understand technologies like Instagram, Facebook, etc which make
events hit with the clients. Especially while working on launch of the new OTT
platform BUDS was a huge exposure for a newbie like me. There have been
many other fond memories at SuperEventz which I still cherish.
Things have been good here. The Venta Eventz gave me initial break after
your opportunity. After much contemplation, I’ve decided it’s time for new
challenges, so I’m beginning to search for position of Social Media Manager
and hope to relocate to Mumbai later this year. Manendra & Manendra find me
as good candidate for this position at their organization and interested in
assigning this new responsibility. I have utmost believe that if I am selected for
this position I will be able to make good use of my knowledge in this new
venture. I know you are well aware of my capability and provide a brief of it to
enlighten my chance to this project.
Would you be available to serve as a reference and provide a positive
recommendation for me? If you are, I would be happy to send you my resume
and a sample job description so you have an updated view of my experience
and what I’m seeking. Ms Shikha Kumar (HR Dept) will be the contact person
in case you agree to my request.
Thank you for considering this. I look forward to connecting with you again
and hearing your updates.
Sincerely,
Omkar Parab
ANSWER 2:
A buffer is the cushioning period or extra precautionary measures taken while
scheduling/ implementing a project. This buffer helps in impact caused by any
unseen events that may occur during the course of project.
Following are the major types of buffers considered:
 Appreciation buffer:
This type of buffer is generally considered when
implementing any new project or deploying in new changes to the
existing setup. Generally while planning the project certain time is
reserved over the existing project timeline This buffer is generally
incorporated reserved separately depending on the project work. .
Consequently, a project buffer acts as a protection of the project
completion date which might be variable due to changes in activity
durations on the critical chain.
 Feeding buffer:
A feeding buffer protects the critical chain against
violations in the feeding chain. It is a buffer that is inserted before the
first activity on the Critical Chain. As project buffer is inserted in the
project schedule as a protection of the project deadline against changes
in the critical chain, the critical chain should also be protected against
changes in any feeding chain. Similar to the project buffer between the
last activity of the critical chain and the project completion date, feeding
buffers between any last activity of a feeding chain and the activity on
the critical chain will be added to the project baseline schedule.
 Financial buffer: This the buffer a project or company builds to avoid
the company the company to go to bankruptcy due to any economic
constraint or problems. Like in the recent cases of Covid-19 where
certain companies can bear the lockdown impact whereas the others
cannot.
 Resource buffer: Resource buffer acts as a warning signal when a shift
in resources will occur on the critical chain. Resource buffers can be set
alongside of the critical chain to ensure that the renewable resources
are available to work on the critical chain activities as soon as they are
needed. These are dummy activities with critical resource assignment,
added at one or more places on the Critical Chain with so as to ensure
that the resource is available and committed to be utilized if needed. A
resource buffer warning signal is added each time an activity needs a
renewable resource that is not used by the previous activity.
 Temporal buffer
