Free Sample Letters Of Recommendation

A reference letter is a great way to show a potential employer that you are a favorable candidate for a job. Telling them yourself might not get the job done, but if an outside party sings your praises and points out your positive qualities, that might get their attention. Requesting a reference letter is also a wonderful way to get in touch with attributes that you never thought you had. These letters often provide insight to the applicant as well as the potential employer. By reading your reference letters you can see which areas you excel in, and in which you may need a bit of improvement.

Good sample reference letters will also ask you to extend yourself for further discussion about the person in question. This means giving your telephone number or e-mail address. If you really feel the person is worthy of your time, make sure you're available to answer questions a potential employer might have.


Here are some quick tips to help you write a reference or recommendation letter for a friend, co-worker or employee.

* Keep It Short And To The Point
