Re: Eric Long

To Whom it May Concern:
I highly recommend you hire Eric Long. He will be an excellent contributing staff member in
your school community. Eric is intelligent, highly motivated, confident and a team player. He
has the ability to be successful in whatever he wants to accomplish
I have had the pleasure of knowing Eric for the past three years. He was an incredible asset in
developing our technology plan for building a computer lab within our construction program.
Eric was a member of the steering committee to oversee the implementation of the project,
working effectively in a collaborative environment with students, staff, community leaders and
businesses.
Last summer, Eric was our computer technician setting up a LAN, installing NT 4.0 and
numerous software programs in our new Construction Manufacturing Technology Lab. He
worked diligently to meet the needs of the lab. This provided Eric with the means to showcase
his abilities in leadership and to be a responsible and effective team player. He is more than
willing to help out when asked and to offer assistance in areas he knows he can contribute to.
His ability to lead and include others in decision making processes is excellent.
Just as importantly, Eric is a good listener and can take criticism positively. He understands the
process is as important as the product and that there is room for growth. These qualities, along
with his self-confidence, lend themselves to being an excellent life-long learner.
Eric is great person! He is friendly, compassionate, honest and was liked by many of the
students and staff while helping us at Garfield High School. He respects others and is respected.
Eric will be an excellent person to have on your team!
Sincerely,
Bob Wilson
