RE: Jessica Tanner 

Dear Mr. Paulson:


Ms. Jessica Tanner was employed by The Sun Energy Company from 1997 to 2010, at which time she held the position of Sales Manager and Public Relations Director for this emerging solar energy firm. She was on the ground floor of this organization and contributed greatly to its growth and success.


When she left The Sun Energy Company her position was divided into two positions. Jessica is a very level-headed person who develops long-term professional relationships with co-workers and clients. She is an effective trainer and motivator, and has achieved success as a hands-on sales manager.


Jessica knows how to get a sales team going, retain old clients, and generate new business. She is always readily available, flexible, organized, and open to new ideas.


Jessica's personal integrity, professional skills, and broad-based experience would make her an asset to any organization. I would certainly employ her again.


If you have any questions, please call me at 940-887-4567.


Sincerely,


 

Joseph P. Smith
 



THANK YOU NOTES


Always, always send a Thank You Note to your references, and let them know when you secure a new position.
Your thoughtfulness will be appreciated.


you're hired
