Writing a letter of recommendation for a mearly average employee...?

We Answered:

That's a tough situation to be in.
I think a lot of people would be honest with the employee, and say they dont think they would be able to write a glowing recommendation.

Now that you've agreed to do it, however, focus on his/her strong points that you've mentioned in this question. Leave out the bad parts, since this person just wants another shot at another opportunity.

Heather Said:

Is it illegal for a manager to write a letter of recommendation for an employee that was laid-off? ?

We Answered:

It can be illegal, in that it is against company policy.

Not illegal, as in against the law.

Writing letters of recommendation, can open a company up to litigation from future employers.

That's why most employers, do not write them, nor do they provide information on why someone was laid off, fired or left the company.

Phillip Said:

How do I write an academic letter of recommendation for a previous employee?

We Answered:

Indicate that you are happy to recommend her and in the body of the letter indicate her strong points as an employee.

You can conclude by indicating that you would be happy to answer any questions that they may have about her.

By the way you wrote very well in the the question that you asked./

Troy Said:

is it appropriate to write a letter of recommendation for a terminated employee?

We Answered:

If you think that employee was good in any way then it certainly is appropriate. Just because some bozo fired someone does not prohibit someone else from giving him or her a good word or two.
