Guidelines for Writing Letters of Recommendation1
The goal of a letter of recommendation for an academic position or promotion is to provide an overall
assessment of the candidateʼs potential to excel in a new position. In other words, what is the
candidateʼs professional promise and your evidence to support the assessment? Thus, your letter will
identify the characteristics and achievements that are directly relevant to the candidateʼs potential job
performance. The key to effective and accurate letter writing is focusing your comments on criteria that
are relevant for this evaluation. Traits that should be considered for discussion in a letter include past
job/task performances, experience and expertise, intellectual ability, and personal attributes as they
pertain to leadership quality, teambuilding, perseverance, and communication skills.
Useful letters of recommendation include the following elements:
1. Focus on the applicant
2. Description of the applicantʼs record
3. Evaluation of accomplishments of the applicant
4. Discussion of personal characteristics only to the extent that they predict potential growth and
job performance
Letters missing any or all of these elements provide the reader with only a limited understanding of the
candidateʼs qualifications.
Letters should be complete but concise, and they usually consist of three parts: introduction and
background, specific assessments, and summary of recommendation. Letters from primary mentors,
supervisors or close collaborators are generally somewhat longer than letters from others. The more
detailed the narrative, the more persuasive the recommendation is. An excessively brief letter, even if
giving high praise, is often viewed as a weak recommendation, at best interpreted to imply that the
writer knows very little about the candidate or (worse) that the writer intends to convey doubt about the
qualifications of the candidate without specifically making such statements.
Introduction and Background
A good letter identifies the candidate, the position for which she/he is applying, and the relationship
between the recommender and the candidate. If the recommender wishes to write a strong and
supportive letter for the candidate, it is often helpful to make it clear from the outset of the letter and
then provide clear documentation of such a favorable recommendation. It is also helpful to describe the
type of experience and length of time that the candidate has been known to the recommender.
Specific Assessments
This is the section of the letter that contains the "data" or evidence for your argument. It should provide
specific information about the candidate. Generalizations will be much better received if specific
examples can be cited. Ask yourself “how does the information I just wrote support my assertion that
this person is a quality candidate?”

A motivation letter is a one-page letter that explains why the candidate is perfect for a position using examples of their interests and achievements. It is usually attached to a resume when applying for a job or internship, or when applying to an educational program where work experience is limited. The letter focuses on the candidate's personality, interests, and motives for applying, rather than specifically matching skills to a job like a cover letter. The best structure is an introduction that grabs the reader's attention, a body that sells the candidate's best qualities using examples, and a conclusion.
