To Whom It May Concern:
It is with enthusiasm that I write this letter on behalf of Don Hill recommending him for the
position of Graduation Enhancement Technician. I have known Mr. Hill for several years. I had
the pleasure of working with him at the Veterans Center while I was completing a counseling
internship, and he was the office manager.
As the manager of the Veterans Center, Don kept the office running smoothly and efficiently.
His dedication and enthusiasm for the veterans he served was exemplary. Don has a friendly
and approachable manner which makes it easy for him to communicate with a diverse group of
clients, including those who are feeling anxious or uncomfortable. Many of the veterans he
worked with commented that Don’s kindness and dedication made a significant positive impact
on their lives.
I know Don Hill to be a very conscientious and ethical professional regardless or the job or role
he takes on. I believe he would be an asset to the Manatee County School District. He has the
skills that would be required for the position he is seeking, Graduation Enhancement
Technician. Don would be skilled at creating and maintaining good working relationships with
families, students, school staff, and community agencies. As manager of the Veterans Center,
he screened new clients, oversaw outreach programs, coordinated activities with other
Veterans Administration offices, and maintained office records.
Most importantly, Mr. Hill has a strong desire to help others, an important qualification for this
position. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified School Guidance Counselor, and
Adjunct Professor. Given my professional experience and professional/ personal knowledge of
Don’s work, I am confident that he has the qualities required for such a position.
