一、以前发过“写推荐信? 不得不看!”

二、近来有虫友索要推荐信模板,但一一答复很难满足众多需要而效果不佳;根据网络,我在准备推荐信时参考了以下一般模式,并根据个人实际做了修改和补充;现分享如下(请大家注意写信人的措辞和语句,争取地道表达,避免太过学生气。):
To Whom it May Concern,
I'm writing this reference letter on behalf of xxx. I've been his/her supervisor for xxx years in **** University. In just those xxx short years, I've watched him/her rapidly advance from an entry-level position to a Senior **** Representative. I've never hesitated to recommend him/her for promotion when his/her time came.
XXX derives satisfaction from helping his/her classmates troubleshoot problems. Many of those who've received help from xxx specifically ask for him/ her when they again contact support, and for good reason: he/She is professional, courteous and quick to help. His/Her skills are sharp and without prompting, he/she keeps them honed to a razor's edge. I often see xxx in our lab before or after work hours, replicating problems. Additionally, xxx doesn't abandon his/her friends when the whistle blows. He/She sticks to it even after hours, until he/she resolves the problems.
XXX is a team player who is always willing to share the knowledge her sponge-like brain soaks up. For example, thanks to his/her willingness to share the trouble-ticket notes he/she so meticulously recorded and compiled, our ****Department was able to manage/craft "xxxxxxx," step-by-step, online troubleshooting guides for our field engineers. Consequently, we've seen an increase in customer satisfaction, a reduction in ***calls, and a significant savings on the department's bottom line.
I have nothing but good things to say about xxx and I'd strongly recommend him/her for any endeavor he/she chooses. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like to hear more good things about xxx.
Sincerely,
[Signature] 中、英文手写签名

请注意:
1.其中一封必须是现导师来写,其他要找对自己熟悉的人,如果是你所在系的主任或院长或单位领导,更好!说话语气要像老师,对你比较或非常了解,而且热诚推荐;切记:即使这信是你自己的写的,不要夸大事实!!一旦漏出破绽,难免被动甚至失败;
2.不要罗列形容词“diligent,honest,capable”,要以数据或事例说明你的能力或成就,取得了怎样的效果或反响如何,增加推荐的可信度;
3.篇幅不宜过长,一页或一页半为佳;
4.最好中英文手写签名,并留下联系方式如E-mail;
5.开头与结尾呼应,强调推荐的力度;
6.内容不要面面俱到,可突出几个方面(毕竟至少需要2-3封推荐信,可各有侧重;如一封信突出你的学习成绩与研究水平、成果,另一封突出你的性格、品质,等等)。
7.跟推荐人协商谁来发信(一般是申请者自己发,要说明经推荐人允准!但按国外做法,推荐信不能被申请者看到而由推荐人发出);可以E-mail、传真或将scans 以e-mail发过去。
