recomendation letter

Hi there! Can you write something, just whatever you feel, then post again?This sort of letter might help you a lot. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I believe that most letters of this sort are free-form. I guess you can tell I'm no expert at it but I'll have a go and look around for references if you're really keen.

OK darlin’ that’s not too difficult. I’m not very old but I’ve been lucky to read some helpful books and to have attended a couple of great job getting’ workshops. This is what I’ve been told regarding references and letters of recommendation.

First, think about the next step in your career. What skills and experience might be needed? Make a list. Seriously, make a list because it’s important. OK, done it? You’ll need it later.

For stores, maybe the logical career path is within supply chain management. Try placing your experience within a broader industry framework. Be aware of the class of position directly above your own. From stores to inventory control? Purchasing? I don’t know & I wish I did. But, never mind.

The letter

[Write down that list!]

Now, what I need to do is find a good reference book regarding business correspondence. Maybe this one will help me. If I find that my letter is unhelpful or just misses the point, I’ll post again and correct it. I’ll try this book later: Merriam-Webster's Guide to Business Correspondence. Note to the forum, please add your comments here because I am not sure if I’ve answered this post adequately.
