August 22, 2018 To whom it may concern, It is my pleasure to recommend Mary Quinn for admission to Doctoral Business Administration at University of Incarnate Word. I came to know Mary when I was her Graduate Professor for her MBA with HR concentration at Texas A&M- Central Texas. Mary distinguished herself by submitting an exceptionally well researched and interesting HR project on workforce development and HR strategies. As her professor, I have had an opportunity to observe her participation and interaction in class and to evaluate Mary’s knowledge of the subject matter. Her written work is both clear and concise, as well as interesting to read. She demonstrated her oral articulateness in the discussion sections that were an integral part of the course. Each discussion section focused on a particular compensation, benefits, and employee/labor relations. Students were required demonstrate analytical thinking and decision-making proficiency, which supports organizational workforce planning and employment practices in both domestic and global contexts. Mary was highly proficient in applying the course material in analyzing the problem situations. She always explained her views very concisely and gave supporting arguments that were both clear and persuasive. Students were required to understand target labor markets and organizational branding and designing an integrated HRM functions approach to employer brand management. Mary was also invaluable in small-group interaction with her peers. Without my asking she took on the responsibility of helping her classmates consolidate vast amount of information into coherent sets of ideas. Students were required to demonstrate analytical thinking and decision-making proficiency, which supports organizational workforce planning and employment practices in both domestic and global contexts. I recommended Mary as a prospective doctoral of business administration student. Mary is an enthusiastic, energetic, and exceptionally well-organized student. She has proven herself to have the perseverance, initiative, and intellectual creativity necessary to complete an advanced graduate degree. Please contact me if there Is anything else I can do on her behalf. Sincerely, Professor Name ...
