Dear Hiring Manager:

It is with much confidence that I recommend Chloe Sanders for any position for which you might beconsidering her. She has worked as the office assistant in our small office for almost two years, andduring that time, we've come to rely on her more and more as a key team member. I have workedwith students in this position for over 20 years, and Chloe ranks in the very top tier on all counts-reliability, quality of work, accuracy in following instructions, and ability to work autonomously. All ofthese speak highly of her work ethic, drive, and maturity.

The office assistant position has responsibilities that run the gamut from helping in the warehouse toassisting with the assembly of our products to filing, copying and other office tasks. No matter thenature of the work, Chloe is willing and quite able. She quickly mastered our proprietary computerprogram, which was a huge help to us in keeping inventory counts accurate. No doubt, she's quiteadept on computers and has high levels of comfort and confldence. She also works quite well withpeople. Because of the diverse nature of her job, she works with a wide variety of staff, and she getsalong extremely well with both management and co-workers. Truly, we are quite fond of her and willhate to lose her.

This summer, we have increased Chloe's hours significantly and given her projects to work onindependently. This is where her outstanding organizational skills shine. Not only has she been ableto understand the scope of work we are asking of her, but she has the vision to see how she canmake a system even better. For instance, one project involved restocking booklets that are kept inhanging files. After starting on this project, she approached me with a suggestion about changing thestyle of hanging files because she felt her idea would help us use less space and would keep thebooklets in better condition. lf only all my employees showed this much initiative!

I truly appreciate that Chloe is a "no-nonsense" person. During the school year, she comes to theoffice directly from school and gets right to work. Even though she's been up since before the breakof dawn and has already put in six or seven hours at school taking a challenging course load, shedoesn't show it. She treats this as the start of her work day, and she works hard. Unlike other teenswho often need 5 or 10 minutes to switch gears, Chloe's work ethic shows the moment she walks inthe door.

I mention Chloe's work ethic because it's an expression of how hard she pushes herself. She is oneof the most self-driven teens l've known, and she sets very high expectations for herself. Nothing inlife has been handed to her on a silver platter. Chloe has worked hard to overcome every hurdle inlife, and she has internalized this drive to succeed with a maturity far surpassing her years. No doubtthis work ethic, drive, and maturity would benefit your company as well.

Yours truly,
