Letter of Recommendation
Dear Madam/Sir,
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Joyce Lorist for a position in your company.
In the spring of 2024, Joyce as an MSc student taken part in the MSc Strategic Management Honours Course at
RSM Erasmus University, which I coordinate. Joyce is one of 25 students who were selected for this course based
on grades and CV. The learning objective of the course is to obtain practical experience with strategic decision
making. To this end, the course is organized in cooperation with strategy consulting firm Monitor Deloitte and
centred around a consulting project. I thoroughly enjoy having Joyce in my classroom, and have come to know her
as a motivated student who contributes to discussions with valuable insights. I am convinced that Joyce’s qualities
will be highly appreciated in any future position. She is dependable and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, she
has impressive interpersonal and presentation skills which would make her an absolute asset to have on a team.
I have seen Joyce at work during an actual consultancy project for a start-up company in the AI business. Her
analytical skills and knowledge of strategic thinking are a huge advantage to her team. With her team, she has won
the Best Project award, in no small part thanks to her talent and dedication. Joyce always has a professional attitude,
while directly applying newly learned concepts at an advanced level. Along with her undeniable talent, Joyce has
been a joy to work with. I have experienced her as a true team player, who manages to foster positive discussions
and bring the best out in other students.
Given my experience, I confidently recommend Joyce to join your organization. As a dedicated and knowledgeable
asset and an all-around great person, I know that she will be a beneficial addition to any team. Please feel free to
contact me at-should you like to discuss Joyce’s qualifications and experience further. I’d be happy
to expand on my recommendation.
Yours faithfully,
