Figure 5.2. A letter of application
5.3. A LETTER OF REFERENCE
Here are some easy guidelines (in no specific order):
• Explain how you know the applicant and how long you have
known him
/
her.
• In what respect is this person exceptional to others you have known
with a similar background? List the applicant's exceptional qualities and
skills, especially those that are related to the applicant's field of interest or
job search. Give specific examples to back up what you have written.
• Refer to the requester's competency in a specific field and
/
or prior
experience, organizational and communication skills, academic or other
achievements, interaction with others, reliability, analytical ability, etc.
• Omit weaknesses. If you can't write a positive letter of reference,
you should diplomatically decline when you are first approached.
• State your own qualifications. Why should the reader be impressed
with your reference letter?
• Emphasize key points that you want the reader to take note of on
the resume or application. Be sure to elaborate meaningfully; don't simply
restate what he
/
she has already written.
• Unless it is absolutely relevant, do not refer (either in a direct or
implied reference) to the applicant's race, religion, national origin, age,
disability, gender, or marital status.
• Don't be too brief, but be succinct and make every word count.
• List your own contact information if you are willing to receive
follow-up correspondence or answer questions.
• Make the ending strong without overdoing it. Undue praise can be
viewed as biased or insincere.
• Proofread! The letter of reference represents both you and the
applicant (Figure 5.3).
Notes:
back up – поддержать, подкрепить
weakness – слабое место, недостаток
decline – давать вежливый отказ
