推荐函格式范文(如何写出一封出彩的推荐信(附模板))

撰写推荐信在任何一位学者的工作中都是常见且必要的一部分。如果您是一名教授、研究实验室管理人员或研究生导师,您可能会发现自己每年要为申请教职和奖学金的研究生和博士后研究员撰写10至20封推荐信。

这项任务既费力又耗时,但也很有意义。这封信使您有机会反思某个人在您的部门里的个人发展情况,并为其职业生涯的下一步提供支持。


怎样才是一封好的推荐信?

最好的推荐信应该是详细而细致的,利用您对申请者的第一手资料来说明为什么他们非常适合这个职位或奖学金。最成功的信件在描述申请人的优点和成就的同时,会使收件人通过那些讲述申请人特点和成就的故事来了解申请人。推荐信的语气要直截了当,和善,对申请人表现出强烈的支持和真诚的热情,但又不过分赞扬。

推荐信的典型格式是什么?

好的推荐信通常是一页半到两页(单倍行距)。使用您所在机构的专用信纸,如果申请人提供了招聘委员会主席或奖学金委员会主席的名字,就用这个名字来称呼收信人,否则把信写给相应的委员会。在信的结尾附上您的签名和您的头衔。

撰写推荐信要如何准备?

尽可能让申请人帮您做好准备工作。根据他们申请的目标,您可以要求他们提供以下材料:简历、成绩单、申请文书、目的陈述以及他们对自己的特点、技能和成就的自我评估。

花点时间写下您对求职者的初始想法和记忆。您也可以从教授或指导过该申请人的同事以及申请人的研究同行那里收集意见。还可以通过读几封推荐信来熟悉这一写作类型,并留意信中使用的最让您感兴趣的技巧。

推荐信模板
