letter of recommendation for masters program from employer

To Whom it May Concern

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to you on behalf of Paulina Glaze, who I have known for 6 years as her manager at the Capital Hotel. She is applying for a Masters Degree in Tourism Management at your institution and has asked me to submit a recommendation letter to support her application.

Paulina began working as a waiter at the Capital Hotel restaurant 6 years ago, when she was 19 years old. This position required her to deal with customers frequently and always maintain a positive attitude no matter what happened during the day. Paulina demonstrated this ability from the moment she started work at our hotel and quickly proved that she had much greater potential than we had originally anticipated.

In just two years, Paulina had been promoted twice and eventually took up the position of Assistant Manager in the Food and Beverage department when it became available. In this role, she supervised all service staff, dealt with customers directly, and maintained an inventory control system for all food supplies held by the hotel. During the time that Paulina managed this process, we never ran out of any supplies nor did we experience any complaints or negative feedback from guests about food quality or service levels which can be attributed directly to her efforts in maintaining high standards among her team members.

As someone who has read hundreds, if not thousands, of recommendation letters over the course of my career in higher education, I can tell you that a good letter will always be thoughtful, sincere and well-written.

Here are a few examples of how she demonstrated her skills:

• She expressed an interest in learning about how to set up and maintain a website, which became the main platform through which students would access educational materials outside of the classroom.
