Indicate what you feel are the employees best attributes and skills and what you feel are the kinds of roles that they would excel in.

Guidelines and examples of good letters of recommendation

Even if you are an employer and have been asked by an employee to write a recommendation letter don't jut say "sure"; first ask yourself if you are you the right person to write such a letter. If you are asked, you need to discuss the subject candidly with the requester. All examples of good letters of recommendation show that they are most effective when a person who knows the requester and his/her reputation writes it.Consider the following before you dash off a letter.

1. Do you qualify? Another consideration is your integrity - can you honestly write positive things about the requester? If not, you need to bow out gracefully without hurting feelings. On the other hand, if you qualify, you should brainstorm with the requester to write what he or she wishes to be said. Be sensitive to deadlines. Write only complimentary, yet factual, observations. Avoid unflattering or derogatory remarks. If you cannot do this, you should decline to write a letter of recommendation.

2. Remember that potential employers are adept at "reading
