Hey, if I got a reference letter like that I'd sooooo hire them!

Basically with a reference letter you just have to make the person (no matter how much of an incompetent nit-wit they may be) look amazing and the best worker since forced Chinese Labour.

haha AWESOME!

make sure the letter has your companies letter head to make it official, plus your name and hand written signature on the bottom.

Just write key points, their work behavior, ethic, how long you have known them, and why they would be a suitable candidate for a future employer.

A good way to start is by going through how that person positively affected your team. Then you can move onto how that person is different from others. Most people like hearing about their work habits and how well of a team player they are. Being super positive is good, but selling too hard is detrimental also. And a great way to end it would be to mention that you'd love to have that person back on your work force if that person ever wanted to come back.

Draft up something and send it over. I'll have a look at it.

All your doing in a reference letter is selling yourself...don't sound desperate, but don't be cheap! Highlight points in your letter that apply to the job your applying for... good luck!

Umm... You aren't really supposed to be writing your own reference letter, kind of defeats the entire purpose.

Did you miss that part where it wasn't for me? :p I'm not writing it for myself.

a good trick: if you have to write reference letters for more than one employee get them each to give a quote about their fellow worker that they can include on each other's reference letters. it helps if someone they worked with backs up management.
