To whom it may concern:
I am writing this letter to recommend Blake Blomberg for employment at your organization.
During his time as a student in my Human Behavior in Organizations MBA course at
Northwood University’s DeVos Graduate School of Management, I have developed immense
respect for his professional and personal character.
Blake has demonstrated unparalleled critical thinking, problem-solving, and strategic insight into
the core issues affecting businesses today. His inherent intellectual prowess, combined with an
unwavering dedication and commitment to rigorous and objective business analysis, makes him
an ideal employee any organization would be fortunate to have. He consistently and confidently
dissects and develops problems and solutions to complex organizational dilemmas in ways which
are incredibly powerful and practical.
In addition to being a superior student and collaborator, Blake has assumed an influential and
impressive leadership role within class by serving as a mentor, advisor, and support network for
other students. He possesses a natural ability to connect with people, both peers and professors,
on an intellectual and human level that is rare and suggests high potential for success in future
professional and personal endeavors.
Therefore, I encourage you to add him to your organization as he will bring tremendous energy,
passion, rigor, and expertise. Blake is a truly exceptional student and a phenomenal individual.
He has my highest recommendation.
Please contact me if you have questions or require additional information. I am available at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
Matthew O’Connor
