Have you ever experienced writing a letter of reference and not knowing what to write? Has anyone approached you requesting a letter of reference and you felt you had to say no? Have you ever wondered how to write a letter of reference? Well, we can help... keep reading.


Be specific about the person's strengths and weaknesses they've maybe managed to overcome. Give details about how their strengths have helped you, them or even your company. The more descriptive you can be in your reference letter, the better.

There has been a noticeable rise in lawsuits against employers and referral agencies for hiring and referring candidates who were unfit for their jobs and who also harmed innocent third parties. Sometimes, the basis of these negligent hiring and referral lawsuits is that the employer didn't do a complete reference check on the candidate or misrepresented the qualifications and characteristics of the candidate.

* Start by identifying your relationship with the person for whom you're writing the reference letter.
* Ensure that the document is well written with correct spelling and proper grammar.
Keep in mind that the document is of great importance. Key decisions would be based on it.
* Be courteous and give the potential writer adequate time to write a well-written, thoughtful letter and let him or her know your time constraints.
* Identify which specific behaviors and qualities are most meaningful to the employer.
* Though it is generally best to request letters of recommendation from someone in a professional setting, if you are applying for school or just entering the workforce and have little experience and few contacts, you can ask for character references from people who know you from school, church, or community organizations.
