To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to recommend Becky James for your MBA program. Becky has worked as my
assistant for the last three years. During that time, she has been moving toward her goal of
enrolling in an MBA program by building her interpersonal skills, honing her leadership ability,
and gaining hands-on experience in operations management.
As Becky's direct supervisor, I have seen her demonstrate strong critical thinking skills and the
leadership capabilities necessary for success in the management field. She has helped our
company achieve many goals through her valuable input as well as a persistent dedication to
our organizational strategy. For example, just this year Becky helped to analyze our production
schedule and suggested an effective plan to manage bottlenecks in our production process. Her
contributions helped us achieve our goal of minimizing scheduled and unscheduled downtime.
Becky may be my assistant, but she has risen to an unofficial leadership role. When team
members in our department aren't sure what to do in a given situation, they often turn to
Becky for her thoughtful advice and support on various projects. Becky never fails to assist
them. She is kind, humble, and seems very comfortable in a leadership role. Several of her
fellow employees have come into my office and expressed unsolicited compliments in regards
to Becky's personality and performance.
I believe that Becky will be able to contribute to your program in a number of ways. Not only is
she well-versed in the field of operations management, she also has a contagious enthusiasm
that encourages those around her to work harder and achieve solutions for both personal and
professional problems. She knows how to work well as part of a team and is able to model
appropriate communication skills in almost any given situation.
For these reasons I highly recommend Becky James as a candidate for your MBA program. If
you have any questions regarding Becky or this recommendation, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Allen Barry, Operations Manager, Tri-State Widget Productions

only to keep her team on target but she also able to keep an eye on the intake to make sure
that there is no disruption to his system. In the world of sales and technical skills, she excels in
these areas, and for this reason, he is able to keep up to speed with all of her team members.

Through her assuredness and capability, _______ quickly proved herself worthy of being a
salaried employee and became our go-between, representing us in order to attract new clients
and expand our base. She is an incredibly astute individual when it comes to conducting
negotiations and has an uncanny ability to make a deal that works for the client while favoring
the firm’s bottom line.

Having already dealt with multiple members of her team on an individual basis to rectify the
situation, she saw that the solution lay in removing the least productive salespeople and
offering overtime to those with a higher level of performance. While this proved to only be a
short term solution, it did ensure that company profits on her group’s behalf were not affected
by inferior performance during that quarter.

I believe that _______ will be able to contribute to your program in a number of ways. Not only
is she well-versed in the field of operations management, but she also has a contagious
enthusiasm that encourages those around her to work harder and achieve solutions for both
personal and professional problems. She knows how to work well as part of a team and is able
to model appropriate communication skills in almost any given situation.

For these reasons I highly recommend _______ as a candidate for your MBA program. If you

endeavors she undertook. I firmly believe that she will be successful in whatever she pursues.

shown the ability to clearly explain complex concepts to our clientele and has developed very
strong relationships with her peers and our professional staff.

I am very comfortable with allowing Julie to represent the office to external constituents. This
confidence was evidenced by my recent decision to have Julie accompany a group of seniors to
a recruiting conference. She effectively interfaced with corporate representatives and gathered
a great number of employment leads for students back on campus.
