Employee Name: Jennifer Murawski
Subject: Letter of Recommendation
Dear Potential Employer of Jennifer Murawski:
Jennifer Murawski was a full-time Store Human Resources Manager with The
Home Depot July 2006 – May 2008. She acted as counsel/advisor to 4-5 managers and
coached/mentored and developed up to 95 store associates. Unfortunately, Jennifer was
affected by our organizational realignment with the Human Resources structure in May
2008.
During her tenure with The Home Depot she made a positive impact on several
areas of the business. I had the opportunity to work first as a peer with Jennifer, then as
her direct report. During my time as a Store Human Resources Manager I observed
Jennifer’s commitment to her position as well as her commitment to the business. When
called upon Jennifer always reacted and often offered to help beyond expectation. She
has a strong sense of urgency and understands the importance of balancing the associate’s
needs with the needs of the business.
Jennifer never missed a meeting, was a valuable team player and was always
committed to living our core values. One of our core values at The Home Depot is
Giving Back to the Community. Through this Team Depot initiative, we go out into the
community to rebuild or refurbish businesses, homes, schools, churches and playgrounds
in partnership with KABOOM. Jennifer was a reliable volunteer during every Team
Depot event and was also a direct point of contact when organizing community and store
events in the Findlay, Ohio store. She served her associates and community in a
professional and positive manner that was a clear reflection of her value as a business
partner.
I truly enjoyed working with Jennifer Murawski during the past two years and
believe she will continue to be a valuable asset to any organization. Her commitment and
dedication to The Home Depot, the Findlay store and the communities that she served
will not be forgotten. If you need any further information please contact me at (419) 490-
5629 Monday- Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. EST.
Respectfully,
Susan M. Manning
