Writing to the Former Employer
If you write to a former employer, your chances of getting a response are not as good as if you call. On the other hand, some employers won't give out any information unless they get a written request that includes the former employee's signed release of information form.
Here are some tips for sending a reference letter:
- Make copies of your letters for your files.
- Send requests by certified mail to prove that someone took receipt of the letter.
- Be sure to give former employers your telephone number, in case they want to call you.
- Be sure to enclose a copy of the applicant's release of information form.
- To increase your chances of getting a response, enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
