"How to Write a Recommendation Letter (With Examples and Templates)"

One of the most overlooked aspects of any job application is the recommendation, or reference, letter. You may spend hours carefully crafting your cover letter and creating a stand-out resume, but you could lose out on that dream job if your recommendation letter doesn't back up what you are saying about yourself.

A letter of recommendation is a statement from a previous employer (or a trusted academic) that provides additional information about you. It showcases your skills and qualities and highlights why an employer should be keen to hire you.

An ideal reference letter will complement the information that you have provided within your cover letter and resume. In addition, it should provide a third-party endorsement that you are who you say you are and that you have the skills that the prospective employer requires.

To make the most of your recommendation letter, you must think carefully about who to approach to write it. The person needs to know your strengths and weaknesses and act as an advocate for you.
