重要的推薦信

A letter of recommendation is a valuable job-hunting tool. (Also called a
letter of reference.)
For example, it's no secret that employers often use the cover of legit
layoffs (合法裁員) to get rid of undesirable employees. If you get laid off, it
might raise the eyebrows of an interviewer or two. Was it because you were among
the ranks of the undesirable or simply because your job was eliminated? A letter
of recommendation that praises your performance and explains why the termination
wasn't your fault might come in handy.

For another, a letter of recommendation might speed up your hiring process.
It takes more time to grill one of your references by phone or mail than it does
to read your letter of recommendation. It also eliminates the risk that your
reference will be unreachable, or might do a poor job because he or she was
busy. All it takes is one unreachable or poor reference to turn the tide against
you, while only one stellar letter of recommendation might be enough to satisfy
your potential employer. The biggest advantage of a letter of recommendation is
that you'll already know exactly what your reference has to say about you.
A letter of recommendation might even impress and comfort a potential
employer. Some employers justifiably fear involvement in lawsuits resulting from
poor references. Consequently, they typically document what your references say.
If you have a letter of recommendation, you've already documented for them while
reducing their liability.
