Letter of Reference (2)
Dear Sir or Madam: At Mr. Li Yang's request, I write this letter to support his application for entrance into your MBA program.
I have known Li as a talented IT professional and respectable person since 1996, since I went to China to recruit IT engineers. Through the introduction of my friend, Li assisted me in the whole process of recruitment, from renting hotel, carrying Ad to interviewing candidates.
The result of that recruitment was very satisfied and Li's outstanding organizational skills and IT knowledge gave me strong impression. Therefore, I invited him to work in Japan. He didn't accept my invitation immediately for the reason of his work. After one year, he made the decision and came to Japan and worked in Eternal Science Inc. I was the manager of the Planning Department in which Li had been working since.
The most appreciated characteristics of Li is his self-motivation. He clearly possess goal in any time and try his best to pursue it. In his after-hours, he had kept on studying for skillup and preparation of some exams. When I asked him why he studied so hard, he always answered that it was an efficient way to kill time. From my perspective, without strong self-control and high ethical standard, in such a place like Japan where you can easily find some amusement, young man in Li's age would be difficult to use all his time to design and build his future. With this characteristic, I believe that Li could get more and more achievements in the future.
Li lent his studying materials to and helped his coworkers to prepare the qualification. At that time, it became a tide of pursuing certification in his team.
In Oct. 1999, I left Eternal Science and started up my own company. I invited Li to work with me once again. I was regretful that he didn't join me that time. But I understood that he had a higher objective. In 2000, Li resigned from Eternal Science and joined a foreign company.
