1. Dear Hiring Manager:
I was initially impressed with Karen Newhouse’s business acumen, communication skills and
professional attitude when I first met her at Kellogg several years ago as a business reporting
resource within Customer Service. Over the last several years Karen worked on a couple critical
data projects for me in business warehouse. She consistently demonstrated the qualities
mentioned above and also was very good at understanding what her customer wanted as an end
product by asking very good key questions up front. For these reasons I always knew I would get
quality work on time as an output from Karen and was never disappointed.
Karen also was part of Toastmasters which is a public speaking organization that has allowed
Karen to grow into a fabulous public speaker. She has taken feedback from her peers and other
team members and has become a very collected, thoughtful, and confident public speaker which
is very impressive.
Over the course of the years I have also been able to learn how to strengthen my Microsoft Excel
skills by working with Karen. She has a wealth of knowledge and has self-taught herself to write
macro’s in Excel and save many people and departments time. She is a true team player and a
valuable teacher to those willing to learn. For these reasons, I am happy to recommend Karen for
any new challenge that comes her way, and would be happy to furnish more details if you would
like additional information.
Sincerely,
Wayne Willaman
