COURSE 3: RECOMMENDATION LETTER PORTFOLIO

In this course we begin by selecting the best recommenders for your goal and then discuss how to approach the recommenders you selected. I teach you what information to collect from recommenders and how to use it in each paragraph of the actual recommendation letter. Whether you need one letter or ten, you will be perfectly equipped to write them all!

Student Reviews

"One of the best course acquisitions you can make. The way I write and analyze my own recommendation letters leveled up. The techniques for choosing and approaching the best recommenders for your professional or immigration purposes are a plus. Now I feel more optimistic about submitting my letters and getting the job opportunity I am looking for."
