To Whom it May Concern:
I am writing this letter of recommendation for Ashley Duran-Colburn because of her great interest in the architectural field. Ashley began interning in my office four weeks ago, eager to assist in any way possible. I was impressed by her determination to get this position and her go-getter attitude.
While assisting in my office, Ashley has shown tremendous skills in her leadership abilities by taking the opportunity to make network connections with other colleagues of mine. She has proven that she can be assigned a task and be willing to dedicate a days work to complete it to perfection. She has shown immense detail and pride in her work when presenting it to me and my colleagues, proving that she is confident in her skills and abilities. I was very impressed when just last week she took the initiative to begin duplicating the work she created into Spanish, showing me that she can think outside the box and understands her audience.
While I am very impressed by her work, I am a little concerned about her ability to ask for help when needed. I have seen her a few times looking frustrated and confused with the computer program she is working on, and simply give up and start over. I would like to see her feel comfortable enough to ask for help when it is needed, so that she can produce more work at a faster pace. But I feel that this is a disability she will quickly overcome.
In conclusion, I feel that Ashley is a highly intelligent and creative student. I highly recommend her for the position at your school, and hope to see her resume sitting on my desk 8 years from now upon completing graduate school.
Sincerely yours,

John Carreon
To Whom It May Concern:
John comes to my office every day at 8:50AM to 9:00AM. He comes in and checks in with me that he is here,. Then he goes off and files the Bench Warrants. When he comes in the warrants are every where it almost seems to be falling out of the shelf. John takes about 5 to 10 files and brings it over to the cabinet. He place each file along with straitening out the shelves in a calmly and swift fully. He done within the hour, he then goes around the vicinity and helps every one with their job. He always has a big simile and has a natural good mood which makes the atmosphere less tense. When e is finish with one job he quickly goes on to the next objective. By the end of the day every one who he helped is caught up with their work, or some may be ahead. I enjoyed him coming and he is a great addition to your school.
Hanora Bauer
To Whom it May Concern:
I am writing this recommendation for Hanora Bauer who is inspiering to become a hair dresser. Hanora shows up to work everday at 10:00am on the dot. If she is ever running late or has prior plans she takes the time to call me and let me know. Once she gets to work she is always ready to learn and ready for the challeges that face her. Once she is started on a project she is always very dedicated. If she messes up a peice of the hair she takes the time to go back and fix the mistake. Also when she is unsure of how to do somthing she asks for back up help. She is still growing in learning to cut the hair straight but, is practacing when she can. Overall when in the salon Hanora brings a good attitude towards learning new things that she may not get at first. Yet she still trys and wants to proceed with new hair styles and cuts.
Argent Ilejay
To whom it may concern:
Argent is a hard working and dedicated individual with a great sense of humor! Each work day he comes promptly at 9:00AM with a big smile and is ready to work and get his hands dirty. He signs the sign-in sheet looks at our work board for any tasks needing done. Should any task need to be done, Argent will go about it often times asking help and receiving tips from our friendly staff. When Argent has a question he is not afraid to ask. Often times Argent will ask how to do things if he does not know. The effort that Argent puts into his work is astounding! As he zooms around grabbing fresh browse, bed sheets, and logging in data I can not help but be amazed at how hard he is working to keep this place up and running. Argent’s willingness to learn is also a great asset. As he is always ready to take up and learn how to set pens up, record data, be trained in a new area or animal and generally help around the ARC. I strongly believe that Argent is a most excellent asset to any team, his super friendly smile, ready to rock n’ roll personality and approachable attitude is one that I will never forget and one that I will miss.

David Luerssen
Theta Block
To Whom It May Concern:
David Luerssen comes now since 3 weeks every Wednesday at 9 o’clock here to the realtor office. Here he tries to make up some work for which I don’t have enough time and which I don’t want to figure out because it is with other computer programs and it takes me too much time to find out how this programs work. So I am very happy to have him here to do this work for me so that I will be able to use this better programs after the internship. Last week we put together my contact list from outlook to TopProducer and David found out how to edit the contacts and to delete contacts which were twice in the list. This week David figured out how to export the contact list from outlook and how to import it in sendoutcards. This took a lot of time because the two programs don’t work well together so that there were a lot of problems by importing the data in sendoutcards. But next week he will probably finish this work and then I will be able to use this program for all my contacts.
I am very happy to have David here to help me with the work.
Sincerely,
Jan Neufeld
Fabian Tellez
Epsilon
To whom it may concern,
Its been about a month now that I have hired Fabian Tellez to intern at my construction company. So far I believe he has helped me out a lot and sped up the time it took to finish the current project I’m on. He is a extraverted kid who isn’t afraid of hard work and learning new things. He has showed up promptly at 9 am every morning for the last month with a smile on his face and a willingness to work. So far in our internship he has learned how to design models, measure out materials, make a wall, ceiling , and floor. His work habit is outstanding as it is both quick and masterfully done. He is always working on something and finishes every task before ending his day. If the task isn’t finish he refuses to leave until the task has been completed. He is also a very quick learner. He came in a month ago barely knowing how to use a drill and a month into the internship he knows how to make pretty much the interior of a house, and he’s a lot better with the power drill too. He has also helped me a lot to communicate with other interns and a worker named Antonio at work whom only speaks English. I have had him translate some papers and phone calls for me at the start of the internship but he expressed his bordness with that job and I brought him up to do some more hands on work, and so far he’s been doing a great job! As far as personality he is always smiling. He is never shy to ask a question when he doesn’t know what or how to do something. He is also willing to help the co workers if he sees them struggling with anything that might be happening on the worksite. Every morning he shows up he brings a certain aura and good mood to the work place with his willingness to just do what he is supposed to do and do it with a smile. Overall I’d say he is the best intern I’ve
Jessica Wells
Through her internship with San Francisco Parks and Recreation and while working with me, I got to see Jessica Wells’ work ethic and knowledge of the inner workings of the services we provide grow and develop. Through out her internship she has taken in the advice and training we provided into serious consideration and used them both to do a high quality job every day she was here. Despite certain things being foreign (such as tools or methods) while working in the park, she continued to show a willingness to try the things that were new to her. Through out her stay she also contributed a consistent positive attitude that made projects easier and run more smoothly. I would consider Jessica an asset to any volunteer or work environment through what she has shown me and the staff at Golden Gate Parks and Recreation.
