Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to recommend Mark Halyday for a position in the media industry. I have had the pleasure of working directly with Mark during his time at Novastream , starting out as a writer and seeing his talent grow as he moved into graphic design, podcast hosting and original video content. During this time we worked together closely, so I fully understand his capabilities and how much he h as grown.
Mark started out as a writer, reviewing movies and TV shows, and as his studies continued, his ability to grow into a leadership and editorial role became evident. Mark started our YouTube channel and utilising his unique design skills to create logos, graphics and ima ges for our articles. He assisted our writers in using Adobe Premiere as well as writing a manual on how to use the program to record and edit quality videos.
A large part of our website is delivering quality articles and information in a timely manner with a high level of quality. Mark has consistently delivered on this and this year has taken the reigns from behind the scenes to produce original, quality content and helping new writers and video hosts to produce their own work.
Mark is always willing to offer assistance and has an excellent rapport with the many writers and personalities on our website. He would be an asset to any employer and I recommend him for any endeavour he chooses to pursue. If you want to discuss this further please feel free t o contact me via [email protected].
Kind Regards,
Alaisdair Dewar Novastream Editor
