Dear Recipient:
I was excited to learn of the open Licensed Esthetician position within your company. As a recent Aveda Institute Graduate, I am looking for ways to put my new knowledge and skills to use in a work environment. Though I may lack on-the-job experience, I will make-up for that with my love of skincare, my aptitude, client retention and my overall dedication to excel.
I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated worker skilled in client care and time management. I work well with others, but I can also take initiative and get things done on my own. I absorb new information/training like a wedge sponge and I am fully committed to continuously expanding my skill set. I also just really enjoy helping others with their skin health. A few of my abilities include:
o Customer Service
o Facials & Body Treatments
o Dermaplaning
o Brow & Lash Tinting
o Facial & Body Waxing
o Product Promotion
I would greatly appreciate your review of my enclosed letter of recommendation and resume. Although I am a recent graduate, I believe that with my credentials, I can be a valuable addition to your company and its business goals. At your convenience, I am available for an interview or further discussion. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Ashley Valente
LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION
It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation/reference at the request of Ashley Valente. I have been involved in education for decades with considerable experience in global cosmetic organizations. Ashley began her Aveda Institute (Tampa Bay) training as an intro student in late 2020. As is evident on her resume, Miss Valente has excelled throughout her education with many notable accomplishments. I will focus on my experiences with her, primarily those related to her clinical abilities and which demonstrate the qualities necessary for a successful career in the beauty/health/spa industry: clinical skills, client care, attention to detail and personal responsibility. I have observed Miss Valente in both the clinic and classroom setting, taught her in class, and overseen her performance during her academic and clinical phases.
In addition to considerable intellect and exemplary performances on examinations, Ashley Valente is a warm, engaging individual who leads others by example, is inclusive, and consistently exhibits curiosity and motivation to learn. She comes prepared for all types of learning situations, having researched the relevant topics so that she can provide quality client care as well as participate actively in class. Ashley is articulate, and able to utilize her knowledge effectively in the clinical setting. In addition to prioritizing her own learning, Miss Valente considers the needs of others. On multiple occasions, she has arrived in class with information on relevant topics tailored for the rest of the class and curriculum. She has been described as one of the best students in the clinic by our instructors and evidenced by many guests that return and pre- book with her or refer their friends to request Ashley. Ultimately demonstrating her dedication, Miss Valente has been awarded Student of the month and has earned awards for student with the highest rebooking and several weekly highest retail average competitions.
In conclusion, I am happy to give Miss Ashley Valente my highest recommendation. In my experience, she is in the top 10% of all students with whom I have worked over the past 30 years. If you have any additional questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Rebeca Porter
