Re: Human Services position
Dear Recruiter,
Focusing on the issue at hand is my specialty. I thrive in a professional, fast-paced, and team-oriented environment. Please consider me for the Human Service position advertised on the internet.
I was recently chosen as the member in the department of Psychology of California University to present and enlighten teenage children through the Upward Bound program about college, awareness, and options for their future. I have a passion to work with people and to ensure their satisfaction. Being an attentive listener also enables me to find positive resolutions to questions that may appear to be unanswerable in my previous internship with Pressley Ridge, recent position as a TSS for WJS Psychological in Uniontown, Pennsylvania and current part-time position as a Youth and Family Support Specialist for Pressley Ridge.
I can be reached at the number above or at my email address.
Sincerely,
Angelina Rendina

To Whom It May Concern:
It is a pleasure to write this letter of reference for Ms. Angelina Rendina. I have known Angelina for over three years and found her to be one of the finest students I have had the pleasure of knowing and teaching. She was a student in three of my Psychology classes and was an outstanding student. I have come to admire her many positive attributes she possesses. Moreover, Angelina is a very intelligent person and has one of the best work ethics I have observed in a university student. Over the semesters, I had her in my classes; she carried a full schedule of classes, helped take care of an ailing relative, and worked in the restaurant industry putting in more than 40 hours a week. I never heard complain or say she could not continue the hectic schedule. She is the consummate "team player" as she is cooperative, hard working, and agreeable, enthusiatic, energetic, and very eager to learn as much as she can in new environments.
I have taught hundreds of students over the course of my career and Angelina Rendina stands out in the upper one percent of excellent students and individuals I have met in my life. My career spans over forty years and encompasses students who have gone on to become Corporate Executives, Professors, Doctors, Accountants and the whole gambit of professionals who have made wonderful contributions to society. I feel Angelina Rendina will follow in that coveted group of people who will make a difference for others in this life.
Finally, this letter is an endorsement of the exemplary qualities possessed by Ms. Angelina Rendina and predicting she will contribute during her tenure in this opportunity. She will be a standout with all personnel she engages and will make a lasting impression with your organization.
Sincerely,
G. David Sivak - Instructor - Department of Psychology - California University of PA
