Very truly yours, Jan Zatorski Director of Administrative Services AN EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY -AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER To Whom It May Concern, Mr .Tim Owens has been the instructor for several of our PC/MAC classes. He has provided instruction in Microsoft Windows 3.1, Microsoft Word 6.0 level 1 & 2, and Introduction to Macintosh. I and my staff have found him to be very pleasant and extremely patient which has been very important since our users have had little, if any computer experience. He easily keeps the attention of the class, makes learning fun, but most importantly teaches the programs very thoroughly and with an encouraging method that does not intimidate the users. He has been very adaptable to our classes which are mostly comprised of mixed PC and Mac users. I have found him to be very competent, and very knowledgeable about all the software applications. We needed to adjust our training style and he was helpful in assisting us with this. We have enjoyed having him as an instructor for our classes and would certainly recommend him to others who have similar needs.

The trainer was exceptional! Techniques are so easy to follow. Hands-on work in class reinforces skills. Outstanding!" "Exceptional training!! I've attended others and left too confused to use skill.

Tim was helpful, professional and friendly from the moment he began speaking. He made the entire training process easy, exciting and extremely informative. Tim provided five laptop computers, and without an additional charge he allowed our IT Department to setup additional employees so that they were also able to attend the class. We greatly appreciate that the class was “hands-on” and Tim was able to solicit everyone’s involvement. Many in attendance stated they walked away with a thorough understanding of Microsoft Project.

He was able to successfully create an individualized program that took into account varying skill levels of our staff members. Tim's knowledgeable and interactive approach has been consistently well received. He makes the information easy to understand and his relaxed teaching style encourages participation. People report they are able to immediately apply the practical tips and shortcuts they learn in class. In addition, his easy to use handouts ensure learning continues after the session is over.

We believe he would greatly enhance our ability to provide excellence in customer service. Again, we would like to work with you in employing Mr. Owens in a position at Pacific Bell.
