letters of recommendation
So Just What is a Letter of Recommendation?
A Letter of Recommendation is a personal reference from an employer, teacher, counselor, coach, volunteer supervisor, neighbor (no family members), youth pastor, etc.
You are asking them to vouch for your work ethic, reliability and honesty. You are asking them to comment on their personal interactions with you (your personality), their knowledge of what you personally can/will bring to a job/college, adversities in life and other things.
Below is a template and an example of what a Letter of Recommendation should look like.
Remember: All school requests must go through Naviance first
You will find the link in Naviance/College Tab/My Colleges/Letters of Recommendation
1. In a bright colored folder (see me if you need one) you need to put a copy of your COLLEGE RESUME, and your Letter of Request
2. After you make your Naviance request take that folder to the teacher/person and hand them a hard copy
3. Allow 2-3 week for it to be completed
4. Follow up with a Thank You note.......THIS IS IMPORTANT!! It can take hours for a letter to be written, be professional and polite!
