  • Providing Positive and Negative Recommendations
    Providing Positive and Negative Recommendations Prospective employers often ask for letters of recommendation that support an applicant’s qualifica- tions. Such letters from former employers provide insights the prospective employer might not already have from the résumé and application message. People who request that you write a recom- mendation are reasonably confident you will report positive information. Occasionally, however, you may have to include negative comments in a letter of recommendation. Writing Negative Recommendations For a person whom you could not favorably recommend, you have the following options: 1. Saying “No” when asked for permission to use your name. Refusing permission may be difficult; but, for you, it is easier than writing a negative recommendation. For the applicant, your refusing to serve as a reference may be preferable to your accepting and subsequently sending a negative message. 2. Letting the request go unanswered. Failure to answer a request for information is in effect a negative response, even though the employer does not know whether you received the request. Nonresponse is legal and requires no effort; but it does not reflect your responsibility to the appli- cant, the employer, and yourself. 3. Responding with an objective appraisal. Responding with an objective appraisal will give you the satisfaction of having exercised a responsibility to both the applicant and the employer. Because of your information, an employer may escape some difficulty encountered after hir- ing an unqualified person. Your message could spare an applicant the agony of going to work on a job that leads to failure. Refer to the following example of a well-written negative rec- ommendation.

  • Writing Letters of Recommendation
    PACE UNIVERSITY CAREER SERVICES Writing Letters of Recommendation PURPOSE/OVERVIEW In simplest terms, a letter of recommendation is a letter that makes a statement of support for a candidate. Preferably, the person writing the letter of recommendation has been in an academic or working relationship with the applicant. A letter of recommendation should also present a well-documented evaluation and provide sufficient evidence and information to help a selection committee in making its decision. It should address the specific purpose for which it is written: to discuss both scholarly capabilities and personal character, although the balance between the two will vary, depending upon the nature of the application. For example, at one end of the scale, a letter for an applicant for graduate study should focus primarily on the scholarly, while at the other end, a letter for an applicant for a non-academic position should discuss a broader range of qualities and experiences, including extracurricular or work experience as well. It should give an overall picture of the candidate's: personal characteristics, performance, experience, strengths, capabilities and professional promise. Letters of recommendation can also be used to explain some weakness or ambiguity in a student's record. If appropriate and after consulting the student, you might wish to mention a family illness, financial hardship, or other factor. The letter should be about one page in length and generally consist of three parts: opening, body, and closing. The presentation and professional appearance of your letter often impacts the individual’s candidacy. Please be sure that the letter is typewritten rather than handwritten.
