March 28

Robert Schwartz, director of Parking and Transportation Services, has announced his decision to retire from Hudson University. His last day will be June 13, 2011.

Under Mr. Schwartz’s leadership, the university’s parking and transportation operations have improved significantly over the past 10 years. Mr. Schwartz was instrumental in the introduction of the New Terrytown Shuttle to help reduce the number of cars on the New Terrytown/Piscataway campuses and in the university’s preparations for the Route 18 construction and road widening projects. Mr. Schwartz previously served as the assistant director for parking and transportation and worked in various capacities in the housing division.

Mr. Schwartz has done a great job establishing positive working relationships with students, deans, administrators, staff, and local communities. His leadership, loyalty to Hudson University, and tireless energy will be missed.

Subject: Sales Manager

Hello Aaron:

I hope things are good with you and my former boss. I am now a human resources recruiter at Intel Learning. My work at Intel Learning is interesting. The company culture is a lot like the culture at Academic Scholastic.

I noticed your ad for a sales manager at classifiedjobs.com. We have a young intern here named Brie Claudia who will be completing her internship with us at the end of next month. I would love to be able to hire her full time, but Intel Learning currently has no openings due to budget cuts. Ms. Claudia has taken on increasing responsibilities since her arrival at Intel Learning and she has become a reliable and trustworthy manager. I’d really like to see her find work at a company that utilizes her diverse skills.

I truly believe Ms. Claudia meets all the qualifications for the position you advertised. Let me know if you are interested in interviewing her and I will have her forward her resume.

Best regards,

Ashley Park
