The Ultimate Guide to Letters Of Recommendation

Do you want to GUARANTEE your going to end up with a BOMB letter of recommendation?

If you want to know what a good letter looks like and how to do it, this guide is for you.

If you want a quick thing to send to your teacher that could help guide them towards writing you something of value, this guide is for you.

This e-book is here to give your teacher/professor step-by-step guidelines to follow when writing you a letter of recommendation.

When I was going through my own application process I found myself asking for letter of recommendations, but my teachers didn't know exactly how to write them.

So I decided to write them a guide with all the instructions they could ever need (along with an example / model). This allowed me to make sure that what they would actually impress the admissions office.

This guide includes:

1. The purpose of the letter

2. Important questions they should look to answer when developing it

3. A high level structure with what each paragraph should aim to tell

4. Personal qualities / capabilities they could emphasise and how to do it in a compelling way

5. Formatting guidelines (number of paragraphs, font, margins, spacing)

6. Translation guidelines

7. A full Letter of Recommendation model to exemplify what good looks like

With this guide I went from receiving two-paragraph letters of recommendation saying I was an applied student to several two-page letters emphasising my qualities, character and future potential.

It was a key tool to my approval at Sciences Po Paris, one of the most well-renowned universities in my field.

I hope it can serve you as well as it served me!
