Letter of Reference - two liner
Hello all,
I just finished a two months internship in NYC and I am back in Europe. Now I was asking for a letter of reference from my employer but the letters of reference in the US are different than in Europe. As far as I understand they just confirm the fact that you worked there and if anyone has questions you give them a call?!
Their HR department wants to write a two-liner like:
"We hereby confirm that xxx name xxx completed an internship in xxx department xxx of xxx, New York Branch, on the following dates: xxx"
Thats it... So what else should be included in the US version sticking to a "two liner"?
Any examples?
Thanks for your help, highly appreciated!

You don't want a reference letter from HR, you want one from the higher ups you actually worked with. HR will only write a two sentence letter because that is all they know. Contact your boss and any higher ups you worked with that you think would care enough to knock out a quick letter for you. Two lines looks like they either barely know you or don't have anything positive to say about you.
You shouldn't ask HR for a letter of reference or recommendation. You should ask your staffer, manager or other more senior person you worked closely with. If people liked you, they will generally be willing to do this for you.
What is the purpose of the letter of reference?
