A Recommendation from Supervisor

Recommendation From Manager

To Whom It May Concern:

I could not recommend X to your master’s program more highly. He has been working for me for almost three years. During that time, he has been one of my most consistent and reliable performers. As a mechanical engineer, he has a passion for accuracy. This is critical for his type of employment, which involves testing indoor and outdoor substation equipment using instruments like transformers and circuit breakers. He has never missed an alarm during the entire time I have known him as an employee.

He also has an impressive skill set, including maintenance and testing of equipment, and transformer assembly and disassembly. I can trust him to do what is necessary without constantly supervising him. When I have questions, he always answers them with candor and accuracy.

He is also one of my most dedicated employees. He works long shifts, including less desirable night shifts and back-to-back shifts, without complaint or compromised performance. Despite the long hours, I have never seen his performance suffer or his enthusiasm flag. He has also never missed a day of work.

Throughout, he has shown an upbeat attitude and works well on a team, as well as is a strong individual performer. This flexibility, rigor, and competence made him one of my most highly acclaimed team performers. I know he will give 100% to the academic program and will be an asset to whatever classes he takes part in as a student. I am very glad I hired him and look forward to seeing him continue to succeed in his chosen career.

Yours truly,

X

Recommendation from Supervisor

To Whom It May Concern:

I am delighted to recommend X to become a part of your university’s master’s-level program. I can say, after having him as a student in my classroom, that he is a pleasure to interact with and to have in class. He always gives his full effort to whatever assignment he takes on. The class I taught was on the subject of how to operate transformers and how to use types of protections to ensure their accuracy. X fully understood the importance and seriousness of the work, as well as showed genuine interest in the subject manner. He received the highest marks on all of his exams, making him one of the strongest performers in class.

I was also very proud to see him put his knowledge to practical use in his work involving the maintenance of different transformers, which shows how he can make connections between what he learns in the classroom and apply his knowledge to real-world problem scenarios. I was proud to see how he could engage in effective problem-solving efforts as a student and as an employee. He is also a valued critical thinker and creative problem solver on the job, and goes above and beyond the strict task requirements to derive innovative solutions to make operations move along more seamlessly and effectively.

He has a strong sense of duty, but is also willing to criticize, when necessary, in a polite and effective way. Lately, he has been attending meetings to derive new solutions to address specific workplace issues. I am continually impressed by the thoughtfulness which he has shown, as well as his professionalism and ability to communicate. I know he will bring the same skills to study at the master’s level and be a great asset to the program, his fellow students, and his teachers.
