Teacher Recommendation Letter - Reference Letters

Teacher Recommendation Letter

If you resign or have been laid off, but left the company on good terms, a referral letter from a previous boss can show prospective employers that your position was not terminated because of any lack of performance on your part. Such a letter can explain the circumstances of your leaving and can illustrate the positive qualities you had as an employee.

The person making the recommendation also needs to be familiar with the applicant's skills, capabilities, experience, contributions and performance, with specific examples to which he or she can refer, where possible.

Here are some tips on preparing references, and some samples of reference letters and the types of information that may properly be released during a reference check.


* Start wrapping it up with a recommendation to hire.
* Include information about the person that the recipients of the letter would be most interested in, try to put yourself in their shoes.
* If the recommendation letter needs to be written using a certain format or be a certain length, include this information when making your request.
* Letters of recommendation are typically written within a professional context, so word processing is generally the preferred medium.
