RE: Recommendation for Jeremy Torres
To whom it may concern,
It is a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Jeremy Torres. I have known Jeremy professionally as an instructor during his studies at Fresno Pacific University. Based upon our working relationship, I am confident that Jeremy’s knowledge, experience, and skills make him an excellent candidate for a position within your organization. Jeremy has the skills and tools necessary to be an asset to any team. From initial planning stages of case analyses and presentations, he has consistently exhibited a high degree of professionalism and competence within his work and writing skills. Jeremy has mastered the application of business and management leadership concepts and tools needed to succeed in his field. He also has a fabulous facilitative learning style that would benefit those desiring to learn on these topics.
His strongest abilities lie in his attention to detail. Jeremy’s strength in preparing exhibits, coordinating materials and evaluating others’ papers illustrate his commitment to quality and skills needed to lead others. He has also demonstrated the ability to prepare, organize and deliver material to large audiences for reaction, interpretation and debate, which can be a difficult task, particularly when dealing with a variety of personalities and educational levels. Jeremy has demonstrated great strength in utilizing key communication tools and evaluation for business and educational purposes. Additionally, he also has excellent work experience to provide real world examples for learning.
