References from past jobs are required in almost every company. Therefore, you need to be especially careful when compiling them. They may well become a decisive argument when choosing a candidate for a vacant position.
Instructions
Step 1
It is better to start drawing up a recommendation by indicating the period of work in the position held. If one company had more than one, list them all, starting with the smallest.
Step 2
Pay special attention to the job duties that you performed in the course of work. Describe in as much detail as possible what you did, what skills and knowledge you applied.
Step 3
If during your work in the company you improved your qualifications, studying additionally, be sure to mention this in the recommendation. List the courses and trainings you attended and write what document you have about this.
Step 4
In the event that your merits were noted by the company's management, the photo hung on the honor board, you received certificates or additional awards, tell us about this in the recommendation. Write when it was, and for what achievements you were awarded.
Step 5
Further in the recommendation should go a description of those traits of your character that contribute to successful activities. They are different for each profession. A sales manager needs assertiveness, optimism and charisma, a doctor needs conscientiousness, mercy and love for people, an engineer needs perseverance and scrupulousness, etc.
Step 6
Don't overload recommendations with unnecessary information. Information about the availability of rights, knowledge of foreign languages, graduated or incomplete higher education institutions are contained in your resume. Write only about what was directly related to your activities in the company.
Step 7
Write the recommendations yourself, sending them for approval to the director or head of the department. He has the right to fully agree with them or make his own adjustments. Print the final version, sign with the management and affix the company seal.
