Letters of Recommendation or Reference Calls

Our advisers and full-time staff are always willing to write Letters of Recommendation or references on behalf of leaders! If you are looking for a letter of recommendation please do the following

  1. Contact your adviser to ask if they are willing to provide a reference. Please provide plenty of lead time. 

  2. Provide them with the important information: Your CV, who is the recipient, what is the role, why you applied for it, why you think you are qualified. This helps us personalize any correspondence we make.

  3. If it is a reference call make sure you let your adviser know who they should be receiving contact from and in what form we will see it: Email, survey, phone call, etc.
