letter of reference: kathleen floyd
dear prospective employer:
this is a letter of recommendation for kathleen floyd. i have only known kathleen since may, 2008 but i believe she is one of the finest students i have ever had. i highly recommend her to you.
kathleen took my introductory accountancy course in may. she excelled, earning a high a. i was impressed with her intelligent and insightful questions, by her understanding of fairly complex issues, her work ethic, interpersonal skills and team skills. it is abundantly clear that kathleen is a top student. at the university of shaaxi at xian, china she earned a business administration degree and was the top ranked student. students like her and wanted to participate with her. even though she is so bright and has a tremendous work ethic, she is also a great person. she is easy to talk to, speaks excellent english and has great interpersonal skills.
i encourage you to closely examine kathleen’s resume. you will see that she has had numerous jobs that deal with working with people. this reinforces what i tell you about her excellent interpersonal skills. she is friendly and personable.
in closing, there are three super qualities that kathleen has. they are not just good qualities, but some of the best you will find in any person. they are her knowledge, work ethic and interpersonal skills, including language skills. i highly recommend this great lady to you. i know you will make your organization better.
if you have any questions, please contact me at blathen@boisestate.edu. i am on a sabbatical to ireland until january, so this is the best way to contact me.
sincerely,
william c. lathen, ph.d and cpa
