How to write a reference – how to write it from scratch

18Aug07

Struggling to begin writing the reference? No ideas where to begin? Well, we have an idea. Reportedly, this is an absolute killer-tip. The thing is, it works not for everyone. For example, for me, it doesn’t. But I heard about a lot of people who can create a whole reference just from doing this simple action.

Regardless, you should try it. Expect it to work. If it doesn’t, well, you can choose something else. But the killer tip is…

Picture the applicant in his job. Then, describe exactly what he is doing. For every action he is doing, describe every skill he needs to do it. Then strike through the skills that everyone has (i.e. the ones that are just too simple to learn) and put everything that is left into your reference.

Now, your reference should be ready to go. It’s a good tip. Try it. This will make you learn how to write a reference.
