Reference letter

И еще одна просьба. Не сочтите за труд, помогите пожалуйста с рекомендацией. Заранее спасибо за критику! Пишу, понятное дело, сам, получилось примерно так:

To Whom It May Concern:

It is with pride that I recommend Ivan Petrov for a position in your organization. I have known Ivan since 2002 for more than seven years in my capacity as the Executive Director of [Company], a gaz & oil pipeline inspection service company.

Ivan came to us upon finishing his Master of Science degree and first worked as a Programmer. After two years he was promoted to Senior Programmer, a position he has performed well in. Due to his professional skills, diligence and personal qualities he achieved the position of Director of Software Development after next four years.

Ivan carried out the original extensive research work in the area of magnetic signal identification. He has developed computer vision system for expert analysis of diagnostic data. By results of this work Ivan was awarded with Ph.D. degree. His Ph.D. thesis is devoted to automatic identification of signals, obtained from inspections of main gas pipelines using intelligent magnetic pigs. The results of his Ph.D. thesis, which was finished in October 2008, leads to accelerated data processing; allows to expand and increase quality of pipeline inspection services. Developed algorithms and software products have state registration and are successfully applied in industry. His work has been a significant factor in our company’s continued success in the gaz & oil pipeline inspection industry.

Ivan was an asset to our organization during his tenure with us. Over time Ivan became more and more skilled in the signal and image processing, learning from practical experience but also from independent study. He is very well motivated to research, has many original ideas of his own and takes the necessary initiatives. Through his work he has shown that he is profoundly creative, dedicated, persistent and responsible.

Ivan is rightly seeking a new challenge. It is only right that he is allowed to develop his talent to the extent of its limits. This is a reason, why he needs new applications of his potential and unique experience in the signal processing and pattern recognition. I understand and support his desire to expand his scientific and engineering interests in the area of artificial intelligence.

Let me say that I have no doubt he can adeptly meet the challenges. Talented, high skilled, competent expert in signal analysis and pattern recognition, Ivan garners my unequivocal recommendation. He is ready and fully prepared to assume the duties of scientific researcher and programmer. I would strongly recommend Ivan to you.

Best regards,
A.B. Ivanov, Executive Director
[Company]

вернее, не с рекомендацией, а с текстои рекомендации :slight_smile:

Bullshit! Сразу видно что пишет A.B. Ivanov, до которого в штатах никому дела нет… Стиль письма, да и выражения, чистая ерунда…

It is with pride that I recommend Ivan Petrov for a position in your organization… I would strongly recommend Ivan to you…

Ну что это? Вы это в Промте переводили с русского? Похоже на автоматический перевод.
Никогда не слышал такого от американцев. Это чисто русская стилистика американского английского…

Извините за резкие выражения.

Ну что Вы, все нормально… Хуже это услышать от работодателя.
Английский - в процессе. Как и умение писать бумаги на нем. Поэтому сей текст собран из кусков реальных reference letter-ов и проверен репетитором по английскому. Судя по Вашей реакции, репетитора надо менять.

Извините, что своей поделкой расстроил Вашу нервную систему. И спасибо за критику!

Если Иванов работает за пределами США, то работодателю в США будет понятно, что английский не является его родным языком… Поэтому на небольшие ошибки могут смотреть сквозь пальцы.
