Recommendations Received (1) Peter, would you like to recommend James? Recommend James Development Fundraiser 2010 & 2011 Rux Burton Rachelle Stretch Rachelle Stretch Head of Alumni Relations & Fundraising at Trinity Hall I employed James as a caller on Trinity Hall’s annual Telephone Campaign which we held in College from 14th-31st March 2010. James was one of our best callers; attaining one of the highest giving rates (77.5%) and raising over £33,000 for the College's Annual Fund. He was confident speaking to a wide range of people and could deal with any problems quickly and effectively. Working on the campaign requires the callers to learn quickly, be discrete with sensitive information and be self-motivated, whilst also working as part of a team. James displayed all of these qualities. He has a good sense of humour and was a key member of the group. I am delighted to be able to employ him again for this year's Campaign.less February 22, 2011, Rachelle managed James at Rux Burton ConnectionsAll (500+)Shared (2)New (10) Thomas PowerThomas Power2nd Scredible Chief Evangelist call +447875695012 email thomas@scredible.com Connect71Rebekah WuRebekah Wu2nd Trusted conduit to reach the VC community.
