8. RECOMMENDATION LETTERS
October 24, 2013
To Whom It May Concern:
I am proud to recommend Jamin Banks for a position in information technology. I have been
Jamin’s professor for the majority of his MIS classes. Having known Jamin both in the
classroom and out, I can think of few students so deserving of an opportunity for employment in
any area of information technology.
I have observed Jamin to be an extremely intelligent and hardworking individual. In my classes
Jamin exceeds the expectations of the course and becomes a leader to his peers. Jamin’s
classmates look up to him and he is always willing to help them or myself. Jamin also has an
outstanding work ethic.
From a personal perspective, Jamin is an outstanding individual. He is personable, articulate,
dependable and well-rounded. I feel very privileged to know this outstanding young man. I
would recommend him without hesitation for any position.
