# Letter Of Recommendations For Working Professionals
While the job reference letter is usually written by the employer, it may also be written by the supervisor for the internship, the teacher, the professor, the customer, or the coworker. A professional letter of recommendation is typically written by an employer on behalf of an employee seeking other employment opportunities. It will be important for the person
writing the letter to know if their reference is related to a specific job opportunity, or whether this is a general letter of recommendation that is intended to be used during a job search. A professional reference letter can be useful in a job search, whether the person working for you is moving on to a different department within the same company, or a completely new employer.
The reference letter should also provide your contact information, so potential new employers can easily follow up and ask additional questions if needed. Ideally, the candidate asking for a letter should give you the name of the person the letter is supposed to go to.
If someone you consider to be a relative stranger requests that you write a letter, you may want to think about declining, or suggesting that someone else write the letter. The person receiving the letter only needs to make sure you are truly recommending this person, and that you are in a good place to make the recommendation. If you are unsure about whether or not you would be able to recommend the person without thinking twice, then the best thing to do is politely decline to send a recommendation letter, instead of being forced to lie (or having a negative review destroy another person's chances). In either case, it may take you a half-hour or more to write a good recommendation letter, but if you have something nice to say, this person is worth the time.
That is, the best person to ask for a recommendation will depend on what kind of application you are making. First, when someone asks for your recommendation, consider if you really have a strong chance to provide them with a great reference.
Before agreeing to write someone a professional reference letter, spend a little time thinking about whether or not you can give a convincing, personal narrative about your relationship with the candidate and experience. An honest reference gives the recipient a personalized account of your experiences with the applicant.
It is up to the applicant to pick their reference carefully and share all pertinent information about the position in question in order to help them craft the best letter possible. Depending on the relationship with the candidate, you may want to place a greater emphasis in the recommender's letter on the candidate's job performance or personal characteristics. If you have not learned about the candidate's job performance, or have done so only in ways that are entirely irrelevant to the new job, you may not be able to offer a useful letter of reference for an employer-employee.
Just like you should write a reference letter only if you believe that you are qualified to evaluate a candidate, you should also only write it if you are in a position to offer one. In this article, you will find out how to format a crisp, professional recommendation letter to help the person you are recommending to do his or her best work. This article will explain how to write a recommendation letter for a job, and it will also offer five example recommendation letters that can help guide you throughout the process. Now that we know what a reference letter is, and who needs them, let us walk through how exactly to structure the content of your letters, along with the best page formatting and fonts for creating a professional appearance.
Writing a strong reference letter is, obviously, beneficial to a job candidate, but it also helps to help yourself. A professional reference letter is one that states stellar qualities about the job candidate, intended to advance the applicant's suitability for the job being applied for. Typically, a professional reference letter is submitted along with a job applicant's resume and cover letter to a hiring manager or HR recruiter. A copy of their resume will be used as a reference when writing, and also keeps it handy once the letter is submitted, just in case an interviewer calls you for more information on the person you are recommending.
If possible, writers should be given a description of the job a candidate is applying for and their requirements, so that they can better tailor their letters to fit the job description.
Even if you know the candidate has outstanding skills and personal qualities, you might not know the details of his or her achievements well enough to craft an appropriate letter. Simply including the applicant's academic or professional achievements is not sufficient for creating a compelling letter.
The most effective letters of reference are written by professors or supervisors who know you well enough to describe your academic, personal, or professional achievements and potential with candor, detail, and objectivity. Professional letters of recommendation are important because they can be instrumental in helping determine whether an individual gets into school, employment, or even meaningful volunteer positions.
Depending on how well you worked with a former employee--and the circumstances surrounding his departure from your company-- you may be able to quickly write a letter of recommendation. As long as you include the key features discussed above, and you
spend some time making sure that your letter is positive and concrete, you will have provided a powerful letter of recommendation that can help your employee, coworker, or friend land the job. If your company does not allow for work-related references, ask if you can provide a written character reference--a personal-level recommendation.
After you say your professional greeting, you want to cut right to the chase and explain who you are writing for, and how long you have worked with the person for whom you are making a reference. Write one or two lines of praise for the candidates
professional and personal strengths, possibly followed by a brief summary of the major points you will make in the rest of your letter.
