Employee Reference Letter Templates | Word & Excel Templates

A reference letter is also known as a recommendation letter. It is written to describe the character, skills, and achievements of a person. When applying for a job at any company, a candidate should submit a reference letter. The letter supports his application.

A reference letter for a professional employee demonstrates the applicant’s qualifications, work experience, and abilities. The letter can also be written by the supervisors, customers, or co-workers of the company in which you have previously worked. It should be handwritten if possible and convenient.

As an applicant for the job, you must include your current resume and curriculum vitae along with the transcript. A brief description of the job position for which you are applying should also be included in the letter. Information about the company should also be demonstrated in the letter. The letter should be no more than one or two paragraphs. You should explain why you are capable of this position and what benefits the company may get from selecting you as an employee.

An employee should introduce himself or herself in the first few lines of the letter. The letter should include the title of the job of an employee and his role in the company. The status of employment, such as previous, current, part-time, full-time, permanent, or temporary, should be included in the letter.

The date of the applicant’s employment should also be included in it. The candidate must describe all of his skills, such as communication and organization skills, in the letter, as this will leave a good impression on the employer.
