Best Response

Proper grammar is usually a good starting point...using has when it should be have is probably something you don't want people writing on a rec letter. Also, since when is this something you dictate? If people even use a rec letter, it is up to the person writing it to say what they feel is best. It's not a situation where you tell them the points they should be making and then they write it. To be honest, I never used a recommendation letter. I always arranged for people I knew would give me a good recommendation to be available to provide a recommendation. In interviews or conversations with potential employers, I showed my resume and if the opportunity was right, I explained that I had references available upon request. However, you are naive to think these banks aren't going to do their homework on you. It is a little tacky walking into an interview and shoving a letter that is largely verbose BS, not to mention the same for every candidate, in the face of every interviewer if that is your plan. Just a piece of advice, take it for what it is worth.

 

So, let's put it differently. If you had to write, say 10 rec letters, which are the main points that would be present in all of them (more or less)?

Thank you!
