Need help with writing a reference letter

Hey everyone! I was asked to provide a reference letter outline for a former colleague who’s applying to be a Health Unit Coordinator. She wants me to highlight her experience in training with me, her teamwork, and her skills in handling software. Anyone have tips on how to make this sound good?

I’d keep it simple! Mention her specific skills, like how she was diligent and worked well with the team. Makes it sound more genuine.

Yeah, plus adding specific examples can really help. Like, ‘She’s great with software and quick to pick up new tasks.’

Agreed. Maybe mention something she did that stood out during training?

For sure, talk about how her skills were recognized by others. It shows she made a real impact!

Good idea. Makes it sound like she’s got solid experience that people notice.

So, do you need to be specific about the programs she used? I’ve seen letters that mention tools like that.

If it’s relevant, go for it. Sometimes naming specific programs can make it look more legit.

True, especially if it’s software the new job uses. Could make her a stronger candidate.

Make sure to mention her positive attitude too. Employers love hearing about team players!

Good call! I think that’ll help her come across as even more professional.

Definitely. Saying she was a team player makes her seem like a good fit anywhere.

Also, it might be nice to end with a line about recommending her for the job. Keeps it positive and direct.

Yes! Something like, ‘I fully recommend her for this role’ makes it sound strong.
