英文推荐信撰写技巧

在找推荐人的时候要记住一个基本准则：推荐人重要的选择标准是对申请者有充分的了解，而不仅仅是看推荐人本身的名气。推荐人最好了解申请者的优点且需熟悉申请者学习情况、学习目的是否明确、适应能力、创造能力、性格和特长等。

工作上找了解申请者的直属上司、客户、主管等或曾经监督管理过申请者的人
学校方面找院系老师

(千万不要找亲戚家属、名声响亮的名人、CEO等对自己不了解的人写推荐信)
另外，在写推荐信时，要包含以下几个重点和方向：

推荐人的全名与申请人的基本情况介绍
交待推荐人与申请者的关系（如何认识、了解程度、关系)
对申请者的基本评价（如：专业基础、个性、人品、特点、工作态度、发展潜力和实例）要注意学校看重学术潜能；公司则强调实务应变能力
推荐人可以介绍申请人曾获得奖励、发表的论文、参加过的重要学术会议、其曾在学生组织或学术团体中的任职来支撑自己对申请人的正面评价
推荐人必须清楚地表明被推荐人留学的身份是研究生还是访问学者，专业领域及研究方向
必须表明推荐人的态度是极力推荐还是保留推荐
将一些申请表上无法呈现的东西转由推荐信来呈现。例如人格特质，甚至如何克服挫折或压力
量化表现：提供资料给推荐者时，尽量以「他的成绩排在全系的10%-15%」，或「他在哪些课程里表现很好，而这个课程需要良好的C++编程设计能力以及Matlab的某某应用」。换言之，让你的表现是具有参考指标的
