RE: 503, WA5, Fournier
The purpose of EVOC 503 WA5 was to
prepare a Letter of Recommendation for myself as if I were the person asked to
write the letter. The following six criteria were specified:
The
person I selected was Mr. Roddy Rampersand,
the department head and only full-time automotive instructor at Mt. San Jacinto
College,
The following sources of
information were used relative to this assignment:
I believe that the attached
proposal meets all six of above listed criteria and respectfully request full
credit: one point for meeting each of the above listed criteria.
(College Letterhead
Here)
To Whom It May
Concern:
It is a pleasure
for me to recommend Mr. Phil Fournier to you for the position you have open as a
full-time automotive instructor at
You may know these
things already from reading Mr. Fournier’s résumé but in case he was too modest
to mention this, Mr. Fournier was selected as Technician of the Year by
Napa/ASE in 1997. He has also served on
NATEF certification teams and has written test questions for ASE on their
advanced engine performance test (L1) for a number of years. He is well known within the industry for
writing professionally for a number of different publications, including Motor Age, Motor Service, Net Profit Garage,
and most recently, for a BMW publication,
I am also pleased
to inform you that Mr. Fournier is well on his way to completing his Bachelor’s
degree in Vocational Education. He has
completed both Level 1 and Level 2 courses at CSUSB and I have notice a marked
improvement in his teaching methods and entire outlook on teaching since he
began his studies. His student retention
rate is the best in the automotive department at over 70%, which speaks very
well of his abilities to engage and educate his students. In short, I wish that we had an opening here
at MSJC for a full-time instructor. I
would certainly recommend Mr. Fournier for the job if we did.
Sincerely,
Roddy Rampersand,
Department Head, Automotive Technology, MSJC
