One of my transcriptionists has asked me for a reference. The "problem" is that "Gina" is outstanding. I'm concerned that if I write about how good she really is, people will think the reference is fake, or worse. How can I say how exceptional Gina is without making people suspicious? Sincerely, TF Dear TF: Here's what you need to do: • Whenever you want to
say how great Gina is, give an example to illustrate
the point, e.g. "Gina types accurately at 120 words
per minute, which is at least 10 words per minute
faster than all of her coworkers. She has consistently
outperformed on line count and accuracy over her
five years with us, and is frequently available
for extra hours."
• If possible, give an
example of something that she doesn't do (as) well,
or something that she at least had to work on before
becoming outstanding at it.
• And if an employer
calls to get additional information about Gina,
remember the points above, and try not to gush
about her. Also see our earlier article How to Write a Reference. Discuss This ArticleHave something you'd like to say? Tell us what you think! Read and post comments for this article.
