Dear Human Relations Manager:
This letter is in reference to Michael (Mack) McLellan and his application foremployment.
Mack has been a student in my Personal Selling and Strategic Brand Management courses,
and I can wholeheartedly recommend him to you. He is one of those students who always
comes to class, is always well prepared, and actively participates in everything we coverin
the course.
Mack is an incredibly hard worker and demonstrates a strong drive. He has excellent
people skills and a maturity and workethic that willmake him an exemplary employee.
Mack is also a very creative person whoapplies that creativity to his problem solving and to
his studies. His criticalthinking abilities are excellent, and I know that he has the
requirements to be a strong and effectiveemployee in any position that requires self-
direction and self-motivation.
When he workedon teams in both of my courses to design a sales presentation for a local
business and for a large regional telecommunications company,Mack showed great
leadership and forward thinking that made his team’s presentations a favoriteof the
clients’. Despite minimal direction from the clients and specifications that changed almost
daily, he helped his teams to create very strong portfolios of ideas.
I have talked with Mack about his decision to apply for this position and am convincedthat
he understands the amount of work it will require from him. I believe that his course work
has prepared him wellfor a position that will allow him to perform both as a team player
and as a leader. He is passionate about his work and strives forthe best in everything that
he does.
If there are any questions I can answer for youabout Mack,please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Sincerely,
Michael Breazeale, Ph.D.
