Letter Of Recommendation Generator

There are generally three main components of a reference letter, not including the address, date, salutation, and closing. Those three main parts are the introduction, body, and conclusion. It is here that the meat of your letter resides. In these three sections you list the positive qualities and attributes of the applicant as you see them.

If you've been requested to write a letter of recommendation for another, and you feel both comfortable and qualified to do so, request that the candidate provide you with a copy of his or her resume, and a list of important qualifications. Have him or her provide you with specific achievements, and a list of any professional associations for which he or she is a member. Even a close colleague may be surprised to learn all that a candidate has accomplished or contributed to an organization.

The following tips and strategies apply primarily to the writing of letters of recommendation in their various forms.

* Gather and review all other relevant information you may have about the person you are recommending. It is easy to overlook some important accomplishment, so try to be as thorough as possible.
* When requesting a recommendation letter, ask (preferably in person) someone who knows you fairly well and who you know will complete the task in time to meet your deadline.
* When requesting a recommendation letter, it is helpful to provide the writer with a copy of your current resume and cover letter. Your resume should list your accomplishments and your other relevant experience that make you an ideal candidate for the position, a description of the job or program you are interested in, and/or a current transcript or list of relevant courses you have taken in your high school, undergraduate, or graduate career.
* Be truthful but avoid doing harm.
* List your strengths, talents, and abilities. These may include diligence, punctuality, leadership, reliability, enthusiasm, creativity, independence, teamwork, organization, etc.

Attn: Name
Re: Subject

Dear Mrs. Name:

I am writing this reference at the request of Name who is applying for Student Volunteer Program at Cougar School this summer.

Name was an asset to the hospital. He was always cheerful and willing to assist with any task. In addition, Name was motivated and interested in learning.

Name has excellent communication skills. In addition, she is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate. Name can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. He is flexible and willing to work on any project that is assigned to her. Name was quick to volunteer to assist in other areas of company operations, as well.

Name’s performance and contribution in class were superior. In my judgment, he is a bright, articulate and incisive student. Although somewhat reserved, he is not timid in taking positions or expressing himself. He was one of the few students that year who received extra credit on his final grade based on the quality of his classroom participation. Name’s performance on his final exams was excellent and he ranked near the top of the class.

Name has done an excellent job and I would highly recommend her for a position with your organization. Please let me know if I can provide you with any further information.

Respectfully,

Your Name
