Jason Fullen Writing reference letters

Writing reference letters

Writing a reference letter is very important because this where your teacher or past employers talk good about your writing and about your skills and knowledge.

Greeting

When writing a reference letter you should always use a proper salutation to the person your writing too. This is to make sure that your good word for this person means something.

Paragraphs to come

In the body paragraphs you would want to explain the connection between you and the person your writing the reference letter for. Also, you would want to explain why you are qualified to write this letter and talk about your line of work. Next, you would want to talk good about the person. Talk about his traits and his skills and talk about his knowledge. Talk about why this person is qualified for the job. And then finish with a proper conclusion.

Personal connection with reference letters

For this class and many more classes we always got practice in writing reference letters about our traits and skills but i never wrote it for someone else because i don't have a good enough position to help any out yet. The way i learned to write reference letters is talk good about the person and yourself so the people looking at the letter can pick you out of the crowd for the job.
