推荐信例文：推荐工作

 　　我们已经讲过了推荐信的写作模式，下面是一封副总裁为被裁员的员工写的推荐信。信中副总裁说明了该员工被裁员并非员工本身的原因，而是因为公司业务的调整，并且肯定了员工的个人能力和对公司的贡献，另外，还向新公司推荐这位员工可以胜任的职位。

　　To Whom it May Concern:

　　Scott Smith worked for me at XYZ Technologies for three years as a senior technical instructor¹. I am writing this letter to confirm that his recent layoff² from XYZ was not in any way tied to his performance, and to highly recommend him as an employee with your organization.

　　Had I been given the choice, I would not have laid Scott off. But it was not my decision to make. XYZ decided³ to withdraw from the PC market, balance expenses with the anticipated reduction in sales revenue, and hire a consulting firm to evaluate long-term staffing needs. As a result, XYZ drastically reduced the size of its workforce⁴ by dissolving the entire PC division, including the technical training department. Unfortunately, this major reorganization left no other position open for Scott. We regretfully had to let him go.

　　Scott is a conscientious⁵, highly skilled technical instructor, worthy⁶ of at least a senior management position. He has keen insight into the learning process, and is an expert in needs analysis, project management, course development, and classroom instruction. Scott's in-depth product knowledge, unique instructional techniques, and excellent people skills have consistently received rave⁷ reviews from his students. Should conditions at XYZ change I wouldn't hesitate to hire him back.

　　If you would like to speak to me about Scott's skills, talents and work habits, feel free to call [phone] or page me by dialing [phone].

　　Sincerely,

　　Mary Doe

　　Vice⁸ President, Technical Services
