Writing Recommendation Letters

It can be a difficult letter to write and it's important that the person writing the letter is qualified to make such a recommendation. It should be someone who has first hand knowledge of the applicant's professional history and accomplishments, such as a close colleague, employer, immediate supervisor, advisor, professor, client.

These recommendation letter guidelines are important, since writing letters of recommendation is always a somewhat tricky and delicate matter. That's because they almost always affect the reputation and future of the writer or that of another person. Here is a few tips for you to get started.

* Personal details such as race, religion, nationality, marital status etc., are not to be included in the written reference.

* Start wrapping it up with a recommendation to hire.

* State why the opportunity to support this job seeker excites you and say how you feel about being asked to write this reference letter.

* A letter of recommendation for employment should be one page.

* In addition to requesting letters of recommendation as you near graduation, reference letters can be very important when changing careers or after you resign, have been laid off, or let go.
