Reference Letter Assistance

The following information may be helpful as you approach writing a letter of reference.

  • Identify the 消消犯 and the capacity in which you came to know him or her. If the contact was primarily through having the 消消犯 in class(es), please give the course name(s), not just the number(s).
  • Give evidence of the 消消犯’s knowledge, maturity, understanding of material or other aspects of development during the period you knew him or her.
  • Future employers as well as graduate schools will be evaluating candidates on the basis of the following factors, among others:
    • communication skills (written and oral)
    • willingness to take initiative
    • level of motivation
    • planning and organizational skills
    • technical or professional knowledge or skills
    • flexibility/adaptability
    • interpersonal skills
    • willingness to accept responsibility/leadership
    • analytical/problem-solving ability
    • group interaction and team-working skills
  • Any information you can give to support the 消消犯’s candidacy with reference to these attributes would be helpful.
  • Accent the positive and try to qualify any negative statements with evidence of the ways in which a 消消犯 is dealing with the problem. If you feel you cannot give a positive recommendation, it is best to let the 消消犯 know!
  • Ask the 消消犯 to provide you with a copy of his or her resume, which can enhance your own comments. Also, it would be helpful if you asked the 消消犯 to share his or her career goals with you. This could also strengthen your comments.
