Dear Madam or Sir,
I am seeking a position with your organization and am able to
relocate and start immediately. I graduated from ITT Technical Institute in
March of this year with a Bachelor of Science degree in Digital
Entertainment and Game Design. I maintained a 4.0 grade point average and
was valedictorian with a perfect attendance record. I realize that being a
recent graduate means I have no commercial experience in my major. What I
have to offer is a work ethic that put me at the top of my class. I always
met my project deadlines and submitted work which surpassed the efforts of
other students. I will work harder than anyone to gain the experience
needed to fulfill my employer's expectations. Along with my resume I have
included a letter of recommendation from one of my professors. I can
furnish examples of my work on request and I look forward to meeting with
you and discussing an opportunity with your company. Thank you very much
for your time.
Respectfully,
Michael Hogan

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to recommend Mr. Michael Hogan for employment. As one
of my students at ITT Technical Institute, he stood out head and shoulders
above the rest of his classmates. Not only did he demonstrate
extraordinary talent with traditional and digital media, but he was never
absent, met all deadlines, and showed enthusiasm for the course material.
His work really set the bar for quality in Digital Entertainment/Game
Design at ITT Knoxville and I use his work regularly as an example to other
students of the level of quality to which they should aspire.
I could tell that he was highly motivated and a self-starter because he was
always focused on the quality of his portfolio and asking my suggestions
for improvement. He never had excuses for me, only pleasant surprises. I
believe that you would be wise not to let him out the door without serious
consideration.
If you have any further questions about Michael or my experiences
with him in my class, feel free to contact me at ITT Tech, Knoxville, TN
campus, 865-***-****, or e-mail me at *********@***-****.***.
Sincerely,
Josh Ferguson, M.S.
