Letters of recommendation
I just had a situation where the hiring manager was on the fence about my candidate after a phone interview (not enough experience). Then, the candidate e-mailed me a recommendation letter from his last employer. It changed the whole dynamic. How? The letter gave some very specific instances of leadership, energy, intelligence and adaptability. The next step was a face-to-face and an offer. Reference letters can make or break your chances–here’s an article about how to write a good one– but if it’s not truthful or accurate, forget it.
Reference letters are especially useful when you are trying to make a transition from one industry or area to another. For example: a pharmaceutical sales representative that is attempting to break into medical devices or clinical diagnostics, or a copier rep trying to break into medical may find that a reference letter might push the interview process to the next step.
Letters of recommendation are one small (but critical) part of controlling your job search so that you become the best candidate and get the offer. Check out this link for a way to become a “total package” candidate with the ability to get a job anytime, anywhere.
