When preparing a letter of recommendation do the following:
- Type the letter using a standard business format.
- Address the letter to "Human Resources construction manager" or
"Recruiting construction manager."
- Start your letter by explaining your relationship with the construction executive.
- Be honest. If you cannot honestly endorse this construction executive, you must decline.
- Review the construction executive's résumé. Talk with him about his accomplishments
and goals.
- Describe the construction executive and support your description with specific
examples from your experience with him.
- Choose your words carefully. Instead of using generic adjectives such
as "excellent," use ones that pinpoint the construction executive's character and skills
- Since you know the construction executive's construction career goals, try to use descriptions
that correlate to those goals.
