To whom it may concern:

My name is April Stone. I am a recent resident to New York City and am actively seeking employment. I have just finished my Bachelor of Music Education degree from McNeese State University, located in, Lake Charles, Louisiana. During my student teaching internship, not only was I responsible for lead instruction, but I also acted as an assistant to the director. I had tasks of creating documents/forms, email correspondence, helping with fundraising, receipting in money, and even running errands. I also worked at an auto dealership for 4 years, where my responsibilities were also in the corporate administrative field. I moved up from the position of Title Clerk to the position of Contract/Funding Coordinator, and worked very closely with my controller and finance team to ensure proper documentation was sent to various banks. I work great as a part of a larger team and also on my own. I am very versatile and quick to learn procedures Please take a look at my profile and work experience. I think you will agree that I am a great candidate for the open administrative position. I hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,

April Stone

I was April Stone's supervising/cooperating teacher for her student teaching experience this past 2017 spring semester. Ms Stone was always punctual and hardworking, and the students displayed a genuine affection for her. Although she is a novice teacher,Ms Stone was able to be effective. Whenever she was given constructive feedback, she received it thoughtfully and humbly and made the necessary adjustments. April Stone is a great candidate for your business, whatever that business may be. Please feel free to contact me if you desire more insight into this promising young potential employee.

April did a great job for us while working for our dealership. She handled our funding, which required great attention to detail and urgency. She was punctual and present and always worked well with other team members. April would be an asset to any organization.

Assistant Professor/Director of Choral Activities at McNeese State University

It is with great pleasure that I write to you recommending April R. Stone for any K-12 teaching position in Music. I have known April since she matriculated as a student here at McNeese State University. She sang in my Chamber Singers group for four years and was a dedicated and responsible student. Her vocal ability is exceptionally strong and she is a hard worker who is committed to performing at a very high level. As her supervising teacher, I can also state that her academic preparation to become a teacher in classes such as Elementary Methods, Secondary Methods and Student Teaching was strong. April completed her student teaching in the spring of 2017 at a very high level of competence. During her tenure here at McNeese, in addition to singing in my Chamber Singers group and Women’s Ensemble, she has sung with the Community Choir that I conduct. She has been a soloist for both my university and community choirs. In all of these areas mentioned above, she has been willing to put in the time and effort it has taken to be an extremely competent student, singer and teacher. I have found her easy to work with and she displays a positive attitude toward her role as either a student or teacher. She is very accomplished as a solo performer.

April possesses a strong intellectual capacity. She writes well and speaks well on whatever subject she is studying. She is highly motivated to succeed as a teacher and as a solo performer. As a student and teacher, April has demonstrated ambition and curiosity and has shown a great deal of creativity and initiative while dispatching her duties. I feel strongly that she will be a strong asset to any K-12 faculty. She works well independently and with all with whom she interacts. She is a diligent worker and will always give her best to the task at hand. It is without reservation that I give April R. Stone my strong recommendation.

Sincerely,
