Tips On Using A Fake Letter of Recommendation

If you have ever been responsible for reviewing resumes, you will find how after a while, all resumes begin to look a like. Then you find a resume that catches your eye, like a resume with a letter of recommendation attached to it. After looking at so many resumes, you decide to take a break and read it. Next thing you know, you just put that resume in the "to call" pile.

Isn't that where you want YOUR resume to be?

When going through a layoff, you may forget to ask for a letter of recommendation because of the stress of being laid off. Sometimes, you just never get one because you resigned, found another job, or got yourself fired.

A year ago, looking for work was much easier as unemployment was less than 5%. Today it is twice that with even fewer companies hiring. That means you MUST stick out of that crowd just to get a company to call you for a interview.

If you do not have a Letter of Recommendation that you can send out with your next resume, I suggest you acquire one soon.

Tip 1: Letter of recommendation does not have to be from your last employer, it can be from a employer years ago.

Tip 2: Your Letter of Recommendation does not have to be from a employer, it can be from a volunteer organization, school, charity, church, etc..

Tip 3: Letter of Recommendation must have the name, address, phone number and Email address from the source of the letter.

Tip 4: A Letter of Recommendation does not come with a expiration date. A 20 year old letter of recommendation is better than nothing. Though a more recent letter of recommendation will be more effective.
