Dear Sir,
I am writing to recommend Tina Zeleznikar for the position of Graphics Manager at your
Company. I had the pleasure of working directly with Tina during her time as a graphics
manager at AutoLine Marketing Group, LLC. and her tremendous abilities never ceased to
amaze me. I was Tina's direct boss at AutoLine, and during that time, we worked together
closely, so I fully understand her capabilities.
Tina's incredible adaptability with potential clients has let her excel in both graphics and
customer service management. Her uncanny ability to know what the client wants before they
tell her makes customers feel comfortable with her. Her flexibility also allows her to quickly
address issues if the customer request items or last minute needs. While at AutoLine, Tina
managed to maintain excellent relationships with several clients who had been difficult or
demanding to work with for years. Tina's great connection with the customers and relentless
perseverance to always make the customer happy allowed her to become a friend and earned
loyalty for more than seven years in a row.
Tina is also able to work effectively with other co-workers, making her a great addition to the
team. After taking the initiative on leadership, which dramatically improved the way we
communicate. I have enjoyed watching the way she has grown and excelled at AutoLine.
With her abilities, adaptability, and dedication, Tina will make a great Graphics and Customer
Service Manager for your Company. I have no doubts you will be exceptionally pleased if you
hire her. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email or phone.

2. Please know I am honored to write this review for this amazingly talented designer in the
integrated marketing, advertising, communications, retail and multi-discipline media markets. I
have had the distinct pleasure of working with Tina over many years, with many clients on
countless occasions with award winning and better than I could dream of results! She is perhaps
the most talented designer in Northeast Ohio. Our collaboration and work history together
includes satisfying high caliber clients over time, such as: Cleveland Clinic, Landerhaven,
Cleveland Ballet, TracyLocke, Pepsi, LaPlace Fashion Center, Chagrin Valley Times/Currents,
Cleveland Magazine, the knot, and many trade magazines and publications over many industries.
Tina's passionate objectives are always clear and customer driven. Tina is one of those rare
breeds that actually walks the walk! In truth, my successful career has Tina's signature of
expertise on every project and piece of collateral that we have collaborated and created together.,
her efforts often resulting in increased sales, subscriptions, viewership, readership, listenership
and simply bottom line results. I have always been struck by her wealth of experience, talent and
knowledge of marketing, new media and digital integration. She adds invaluable context and
insight to her work, which can be described as perfectly professional and aesthetically appealing.
Her passion is as infectious as her work ethic. She always goes the extra miles for her client.
Tina's talent and artistic abilities have graced my front cover publications.
I highly recommend Tina for any endeavor or project she chooses to be a part of. She is my
knowledgeable go to artist, graphic designer and top line visual architect!

3. I had Tina create a Grand Opening flyer and ad for my new art gallery. I couldn't have been more
pleased with how she took my initial thoughts about the piece and created something absolutely
spectacular!! She has a great eye for making things look professional and beautiful - while also
thinking about the way things will look in "print". And she was so, so responsive and timely --
thinking of things and making recommendations that I hadn't thought of yet. A true client service
professional! Thanks Tina.

To whom it may concern:
This letter serves as a recommendation for Tina Zeleznikar for employment. I worked with her at
Chagrin Valley Times / Currents / Geauga Times Courier newspapers for about 5‐6 years. Tina was a
graphic designer; I was an advertising account executive.
Tina is one of the most creative graphic designers I have ever worked with. She would always surprise
and delight with her layouts. She is highly organized, fast, and always willing to go the extra mile to
please our clients. The bar was set high and you could always count on Tina to deliver great ideas and
follow through with beautiful work.
Tina works extremely well under pressure. Even with the most hectic newspaper deadlines, she was
always even‐tempered, did not lose her cool, and did not take exception if ever asked to redo a design
interpretation.
She was always a team player and willing to share and teach her skills to others in the group. She is
friendly, outgoing, and has a good sense of humor. She was well‐liked by everyone in the company.
It was a pleasure to work with her.
Any company would be lucky to have an employee as talented and committed to the good of the
company as Tina Zeleznikar.
Very truly yours,
Arlene Bryant

To whom it may concern:
I highly recommend Tina Zeleznikar as a graphic artist. I had the opportunity to work with Tina for 12

As well as being very creative with above normal skills, she acted in a very professional manner and

We have engaged in quite a few very successful projects over the past 5 years;
including this most recent one of which I can honestly describe to you as WOW!!! What
began as a request for the development of a simple drop-off mail piece has transcended
into a whole new and exciting identity for our company. That particular piece was so well
received by the general public, prospective advertisers and existing clients that I just
could not resist asking you if it was possible to transfer that similar theme into the re-
creation of my company brochure. Your perfect blend of imaginative graphic design
ideas and natural artistic abilities perfectly framed the concepts of our company and
resulted in a true masterpiece. As an advertiser, it is critical to be able to impact
prospective clients on first contact. Our new brochure and accompanying literature give
us that first and long lasting impression that can only be described as “WOW” because
that’s what they say and I love hearing it. Tina… many, many thanks for a job well done,
above and beyond our expectations as always.
Sincerely.
Rich and Gina Meyers
