Write Reference Letter

Penny Said:

Is it against company policy to write a reference letter?

We Answered:

Most companies will NOT write a reference letter anymore due to legal issues. They will usually only confirm that you were employed there and give the dates.

Losing a job (especially in hard times) will usually not be held against you when seeking a new job.

Best of luck!

Duane Said:

Can you get a friend to write a reference letter?

We Answered:

When you say friend, is it safe to assume that this person is a professional business person? If so, and what is written in the letter is the truth, then it is acceptable. If however, this is a peer of yours and lets say her credentials are that she is a liscensed personal trainer, not a good idea.

Have you considered asking your teachers or perhaps someone in your parish to write a letter? Perhaps your doctor, dentist or a collegue of your parents. Anyone of these would make excellent references.

Best of Luck
