Tip of the Day


How to ask for a reference letter...

1. Be clear why you are asking for a reference and your qualifications justifying why you deserve to have them speak on your behalf.

2. Provide a rough draft to make it easier for them. Also remind them that they do not have to use it.

3. Allow room for them to gracefully say no, for any reason. It won't be the glowing reference you need if they feel forced into it.
