How to write a reference FAST

25Aug07

We have talked about how to write a reference but we have not talked about how to write it fast. When you’re in a need of time, you may wanna use this skill.
Really, there are many ways to do it, but you can use this 2-step formula. And if it does not work, use the killer tip (not like a real killer tip, just a very good tip).

1. Ask what the new job/college degree will be on. Then, write how the applicant deals with the subject in your company. Say it’s tax-inspector (booh), write how well he deals with the taxes then.

2. Describe the applicant is like. Is he intelligent? Persistant? Competitive? Pick one skill and quickly write an example how he has been demonstrating it.

THE killer tip:
If you’re stuck, just cheat. If you don’t have time, tell the person who wants to get the reference to write it himself, then get it and rephrase it in your own words. Then sign it. Voila, so easy.
