The information contained in a letter of recommendation depends on the type of letter and its intended audience. Information is often different for a letter written for an academic admissions board than one written for a prospective employer.
These recommendation letter guidelines are important, since writing letters of recommendation is always a somewhat tricky and delicate matter. That's because they almost always affect the reputation and future of the writer or that of another person. Here is a few tips for you to get started.
* Be specific and use examples when describing the person's qualities and show how this person stands out.
* Indicate how long you have known this person, and how well.
* A reference letter verifies experience, confirms competence, builds credibility and bolsters confidence.
* Share your availability for follow up. Let the employer know how to contact you directly in order to follow up.
