Letters of Recommendation
Whether you are laid off or leave your job on your own accord a letter of
recommendation from your employer can be a valuable tool for finding a new
job. Such a letter is often preferable to listing your supervisor and his or her
phone number on your resume. A reference letter:
Importantly, obtaining a written letter also gives you insight into how your
former employer perceives you-- on balance either favorably or unfavorably.
With this information in hand you can spotlight a good reference or downplay a
poor one.
Of course, if you must list a former employer as a reference and worry that he or
she might contradict your glowing letter when called on the phone, we suggest
finding out before it causes you a problem. You can do this via a confidential
checking service.
Be sure to give them enough time (3-4 weeks, if possible) to write the
recommendation letter.
When you talk to them, state your goals and suggest what they might
write to help you achieve those goals. Coach them to be specific; general

Remember that potential employers are adept at “reading between the

getting the new job.
This letter is my personal recommendation for Cathy Douglas. Until just recently,
I have been Cathy's immediate supervisor for several years. I found her to be
consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile.
Besides being a joy to work with, Cathy is a take-charge person who is able to
present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. She has successfully
developed several marketing plans for our company that have resulted in
increased revenue. During her tenure, we saw an increase in profits that
exceeded one million dollars. The new revenue was a direct result of the plans
implemented by Cathy.
Though she was an asset to our marketing efforts, Cathy was also extraordinarily
helpful in other areas of the company. In addition to writing effective training
modules for sales representatives, Cathy assumed a leadership role in sales
meetings, inspiring and motivating other employees.
I highly recommend Cathy for employment. She is a team player and would make
a great asset to any organization.
Sincerely,
