ANYWHERE, Inc.

To Whom It May Concern:On February 4, 2002, Jill
Overstreet started working for me as an intern.
It is my pleasure to write this letter of evaluation
and recommendation for her as she has been a true
asset.
Hours Worked:
She worked over 200 hours in her internship and
successfully completed many company projects and
all five of her assigned school tasks.
Assigned School Projects
Ms. Overstreets first assignment was to learn
our ACT database management system. She picked this
up quickly and demonstrated the ability to input
and extract data that I requested.
Her second task was to create a database of high
priority hotels in the United States that best met
our business model. To accomplish this, she had
to research hotels and determine how well they could
help us in our business, obtain required information,
and then input this information into ACT. The part
of ACT was extremely detailed and will help us coordinate
our needs more efficiently in the future.
Ms. Overstreets third task involved creating
a system for contacting clients and coordinating
their meeting requirements. This involved creating
a way to track arranging for hotel rooms, transportation,
and logistics for the group. She has developed several
forms that we now use to document each step in the
process, which has reduced our error rate and made
us more efficient. This task also required her to
interact with clients and vendors to better understand
the needs of each group. She was professional and
engaging, and demonstrated her comprehension of
our services by finalizing one clients requests.
Ms. Overstreets fourth task was to learn the
key theme-based activities we use and develop a
theme binder containing pertinent information to
help us interact with clients better. Using the
themes already developed, Ms. Overstreet organized
all the ideas into a binder, and then more fully
developed them by providing additional planning
details and pricing for each type of event. This
has saved us a lot of time and we have found that
many clients like the theme concept.
For her fifth task, Ms. Overstreet learned how we
currently obtain feedback from our clients and then
developed a template for everyone to use when meeting
with clients. She also created a binder to put these
completed templates in for later reference by everyone.
Many employees have expressed their satisfaction
with both the template and binder. They indicate
that it makes it easier to find information as well
as standardizes the questions they have to ask clients.
Additional Comments
With virtually no direct knowledge or experience,
Ms. Overstreet absorbed information and put it to
practical use in no time at all. She is a quick
study. Ms. Overstreets attention to detail
and ability to work independently and produce high
quality work are huge attributes to our teams
success. She is a leader by nature, always setting
the example by being enthusiastic and a cheerleader
for the team. In our office, we never work on just
one project. We answer phone calls while working
on several other projects simultaneously. Ms. Overstreet
demonstrated efficiency in multi-tasking on a regular
basis.
Ms. Overstreet regularly seeks opportunities to
help us streamline our processes by taking initiative
and finding ways to contribute more. This past month,
Ms. Overstreet has helped out by doing several additional
projects. She developed as restaurant guide for
San Diego and San Francisco. She organized a hotel
binder by taking all the information and putting
it into a uniform spreadsheet format. Furthermore,
Ms. Overstreet reorganized the internship binder,
adding her own advice to it and making it useful
and easy to read for future interns.
Ms. Overstreet has proved to be a valuable asset
to our team. If I can answer any additional questions,
please give me a call at the office at (619) 555-4555
or on my cell phone at (858) 555-5555. Again, Ms.
Overstreet would be a great asset to any company
and I hope she will continue to work for us for
a long time.
Warm Regards,
(Original Signed)
