Characteristics are often required in various institutions (schools, universities, courts, etc.). But sometimes a potential employer can request a characterization from a person. As a rule, it is drawn up by the head of the enterprise or organization, the staff of which is the employee. But sometimes the management, referring to the lack of time, asks a person to draw up a characterization on their own.
Instructions
Step 1
The characteristic is an official document. Therefore, having drawn it up for yourself, take it to the head for approval. After all, it requires his signature and seal. Sometimes there is simply no one to draw up a characteristic, for example, if you yourself are the head of a small company or an individual entrepreneur.

When drawing up a characteristic, you need to remember that it includes several parts. In the title of the document, you must indicate the last name, first name, patronymic of the employee, as well as the position held and the name of the organization - the employer.
Step 3
The second part of the characteristic is personal data. Here you need to report the date and place of your birth, completed educational institutions. If there are several of them, but all should be listed, indicating the specialty, the name of the institution, the year of graduation. Be sure to note the presence of academic degrees, as well as "red" diplomas. In the same section, you can indicate marital status, the number of children, the presence of military service.
Step 4
The next part is the most significant. It includes a description of work duties and personal qualities. Therefore, be sure to list all those employed in the organization, as well as in previous places of work, positions and duties. Indicate which professional courses and seminars you attended.
Step 5
When describing personal qualities, special attention should be paid to professional ones: the ability to work with people, the ability to lead and organize a team, the ability to plan work, analyze it, etc. Here you can also indicate professional achievements and incentives.

You can not disdain the writing of the characteristics. It is necessary to competently approach the matter, because sometimes this document plays a decisive role in the turning points of life.
