Letters of Recommendation

Hello Everyone,

Now is the time of year when school is coming to a close, with only 5 weeks left. For all you second or third year students moving on to a summer job or moving on to University, this is the time we should be asking our teachers for letters of recommendations.

Asking your teachers for a letter of recommendation is always a good habit to get into. Not only will it make your portfolio look better having a range of letters, but you never know what job will come up that letter suits.

At this point in our lives, you might not be sure where you will be in five years from now, whether it be school or another job, these letters will come in handy.

Over the course of your term here at Loyalist, you have had the opportunity to cross more than just a few different teachers. Take the time to address a few favorite teachers and ask them for a favor.

It’s a good idea to get 2 or 3 letters, but you never know how many teachers you will have to ask in order to get 2 or 3 letters. The more time you give yourself and the more options you have, the more likely you will be successful.

Good luck and get that ball rolling.

Your Peer Employment Adviser,
Leah Smolders
