Tips on Writing Recommendation Letters

Writing an effective letter of recommendation takes both time and some thought. Spend some time with the candidate you are writing for in order to discuss his or her goals and objectives. Below are some areas to consider when writing an effective recommendation letter.

1.  Suggested areas of information about the candidate to include in your recommendation:

2.  Avoid any comments referring to the candidate’s age, sex, disability, race, color, national origin, or religious belief.

3.  Be sure to keep a copy of this letter in your own files for future reference.

4.  Type your letter of recommendation on your letterhead and be sure to sign any forms where indicated.

5.  If you have any doubts about the candidate’s qualifications, we recommend that you discuss your reservations with the candidate. This will enable the candidate to gain valuable insight about him/her as well clearing up any misunderstandings. When the candidate understands your reservations, he/she will better be able to decide whether or not you should write a recommendation.

6.  In writing your recommendation, try to write the letter from the readers point of view. Please provide information and examples that support your statements so that the reader has some basis for making a decision.

7.  If you are unable to complete the recommendation in a timely manner it would be helpful to let the candidate know.
