Jorge was not late on any projects. On the contrary, Jorge has always done above and beyond the call of duty for me.

Yes, very much so. Jorge is a team player with a "do-whatever-it-takes" attitude.

Would you work with Jorge again if the opportunity arose?
Absolutely. I currently work with Jorge in a freelance, as-needed basis and would not hesitate to call him when another opportunity arises.
