I met Joaquin Paolo when he visited the restaurant where I worked at. He made an excellent impression and is very professional even outside the workplace. He introduced himself with confidence, knew how to make great conversation, and took the time to listen. He is also appreciative of my work. He sent me a well-written e-mail to share his gratitude, thoughts, and well-wishes. He does this not to have a large network, but he genuinely cares about the people around him.

Joaquin is a great person to know and has all the qualities that you want in a colleague. He's professional, thoughtful, adaptable, honest, ambitious, hardworking, and great with giving and receiving feedback. He is strong at building and maintaining relationships, which makes him a very strong community manager. I cannot recommend Joaquin enough.

Joaquin Paolo is a very determined and driven person. He is focused on achieving is goals and working on his passion project despite hus busy schedule. To add, he is also a man for others. He does this not to earn money, but to inspire people to become better. Lastly, he never forgets. He will always be grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. This is what makes Joaquin Paolo a good employee and person.

I’m impressed by how Chino (Joaquin) is so passionate about this business he put up. He shows this passion by the content he creates, the recipes he shares, and the conversations he makes not only to me, but also to foodies all over the world. He is a true entrepreneur. He takes time to learn, to reach out to people, and take mistakes and failures as opportunities to be better.

Joaquin interviewed me for his blog. Throughout the interview process, I found Joaquin to be incredibly clear, professional and encouraging. He asked some really great questions and was a joy to collaborate with. Joaquin takes fantastic initiative and would be a pleasure to work with in a more regular setting!

I worked with Joaquin Paolo during our time together in our high school student government in the Philippines. He has a very upbeat personality that people tend to gravitate toward to. He has an adaptable personality in that students from different backgrounds and personalities are drawn to him and, in turn, can work together to achieve a common goal.

Joaquin interviewed me for his blog and was incredibly well prepared and thorough. He conducts himself in a very professional way and is extremely skilled in networking!

Joaquin is fearless in building his blog and personal brand, and getting to know people in his industry. He seems to always be trying something new, and making friends along the way. Also, the way he creates content, and interviews, is incredibly professional. Glad to have gotten to know him!

Joaquin has always been one to push himself and go for his dreams. Knowing him since university, he has dabbled in a few different projects that he was passionate about, specifically his personal brand. His best quality is how much he values friendships, making an effort to keep in touch with everyone he's met throughout his journeys. His blog posts about his friends throughout the world is an interesting read and I'm happy I was a part of it. And who could recommend him without mentioning his cooking! His molasses cookies were a delight to receive at work for the holidays. Joaquin is someone that I value as a friend.

I am very fortunate to have Joaquin Paolo (Chino) Arellano as one of my English teachers for the 2015 RACE Summer English Camp where I was the Program Director. He has my full endorsement because he demonstrates a great attitude, a superior work ethic, and the desire to learn and succeed.

Joaquin Paolo (Chino) used to be a student leader during his high school days. As his moderator/adviser in the student government, I have witnessed how he influenced his peers to go beyond their comfort zone and pursue projects and activities that will help the school attain its mission and vision. He is a servant-leader to his people, an effective manager of tasks and a responsible student.

I met Chino through the Shapr app and later connected on LinkedIn. He was very friendly and professional during our past communications. After meeting with Chino, I learned how incredibly passionate he is about his work and hobbies. It was a pleasure to learn more about his past and current work experiences. Chino also shared valuable advice that I will use for my career development. I appreciate the time he took to listen to my story and assist me with all the questions I had. He’s also an amazing baker!

I've been working with Joaquin for almost a year now. He's a very dedicated person and a great colleague to work with! Joaquin is great at responding to clients and resolving issues with great efficiency. His work has been really valuable for Shapr and its community!

Je travaille avec Joaquin depuis de nombreux mois maintenant; Joaquin est très professionel, rigoureux et il effectue vraiment un travail formidable avec la communauté Shapr ! C’est un plaisir que de travailler avec lui, merci beaucoup Joaquin 🙂

Joaquin is full of enthusiasm and passion for people, experiences and food! We met through Shapr and I had him as a guest on my podcast. He is constantly taking action, trying new things and finding ways to bring joy to his life and others. If you're looking for someone who is a passionate action taker, Joaquin is it.

Joaquin is very good at setting up meetings, following up after meetings and putting what is discussed into action. He has broad network and is very helpful connecting me with his network.

Chino was one of the few people that stood out as he cared and showed passion in what he does. He was very determined when it comes to learning new things and he is always willing to help out others out of courtesy.

I met Joaquin through my online happiness community and he has been an absolute delight to get to know. He is so friendly and willing to go above and beyond to help others. I could see his entrepreneurial mindset right away and am constantly impressed with the business he’s created. He is incredibly professional and detail-oriented. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him in a larger capacity and look forward to many more interactions with him in the future.

[Chino Arellano] is a very dedicated worker who taught at a summer language school in Western France this past summer 2015 where I was Head Instructor of teachers. He frequently asked for insight and advice on how to be a better teacher and be better prepared for class. He excelled in this through my teachers' observations I made in his class and, moreover, he proved to be a popular teacher amongst his students.

I had the privilege of becoming exposed to the #ChefJoaquinPaolo brand and of witnessing Chino’s amazing ability to create meaningful relationships with his clients by reaching out personally. As he approached me with a pitch, I was struck by his charisma and genuine interest in giving back to those who have helped him in the journey of establishing his name. His professionalism is evident from his style of blog writing, his e-mail content, and his continuous investment in the relationships he creates with the people involved in his creative business endeavour.

I had the pleasure of working with Joaquin on Shapr's social media campaigns and content creation. Despite working remotely, Joaquin had outstanding communication skills and always made himself available if I had any questions. He is a very kind-hearted and proactive colleague. He is also very comprehensive and can adapt easily to any situation. Joaquin was very helpful in organizing Shapr's social media content and always provided ideas and solutions to problems I was facing. Joaquin is definitely a valuable asset to any team! I truly recommend him! I wish you all the best Joaquin.

I had the opportunity to work with Chino at Shapr. He became a fundamental member of the support team. Then, he trained french agents thanks to his great professional and french skills. He is now in charge of the customer support among all his others responsibilities with the community management. Merci Chino pour cette brillante collaboration!
