推薦信的評改

下面通過對幾篇推薦信中的段落的評論來進一步地闡述好的推薦信應該怎么寫。

Miss Ruanjian is now working under my immediate supervision in the Engineering Department of the Heavy-duty Equipment Co, Ltd. Ruanjian has proved to be of invaluable assistance in adapting our international corporate operating system to clear the hurdles of relatively undeveloped Chinese market conditions.

One of Ruanjian’s greatest contributions is in the adaptation and modification of our integrated IBC (Industrial Boiler Control) software. The rigidity of the program structure had often led to complications in our relations with our clients. She was able to work with both the program and with our clients to smooth points of friction and eventually satisfy our clients. Subsequently, she has succeeded in adapting our program to avoid such further instances. She learns from mistakes and quickly takes steps to avoid them in the future.

我們一般在第一段就要說清楚推薦人與被推薦人的關系、雙方各處于什么職位。如果被推薦人是推薦人的雇員或者合作伙伴，應該說明被推薦人的職位以及工作職責，也可以概括一下被推薦人所做的一些重點項目。最后也可以用一句話總體評價一下被推薦人。

本文雖然只選了兩段，但已經是推薦信的主要內容了。在這篇推薦信里，推薦人并沒有使用太多的形容詞，只是讓事實本身說話。被推薦人“軟件小姐”在公司里銷售與重工業(yè)設備配套的軟件。因為每一個單位的設施不盡相同，因此經常需要對軟件產品作適當的調整，并且與申請者進行充分的溝通?！败浖〗恪狈浅偃芜@項工作，并且有能力從以往的錯誤中總結經驗，指導今后的銷售工作。雖然敘述的事情不多，但非常具體、真實，連軟件的名稱和用處都予以了說明。這樣的推薦信通過事例來說明一個人的經歷和能力，盡管簡短卻要言不煩，非常有效。

At this water plant, she has consistently demonstrated a keen mind and impeccable work ethics. She started working as my assistant when I was conducting research on the application of the fiber filtering technology to the treatment of drinking water, which is traditionally treated with sodium silicate. My research represented the first attempt at applying the fiber filtering technology outside the realm of industrial wastewater treatment.

Ms. Du stopped at nothing in her effort to learn. She quickly learned to operate all the equipment and devices skillfully. When the plant completed converting the old filters into fast-filters, she seized the occasion as a good opportunity for her to practice what she had learned. Assigned to test the quality of the water flowing out of the new filters, she had to do protracted data recording to find out the functioning of the new filters under different conditions. Undeterred by the monotony of the job, she discharged her duties with great patience and meticulous care.

在接下來的段落中，要通過具體事例對被推薦人進行多方面的評價。如被推薦人的知識、興趣、能力、性格、社會技能、與同事同學的關系等等，推薦人應該很客觀的進行評論，這樣才能幫助被推薦人。切記，一定要重點推薦被推薦人是否具備其所要申請的專業(yè)應該具備的素質。

以上這封推薦信介紹了學環(huán)境工程的杜女士在工作上的表現，她的工作是配合研制水凈化設備。本文沒有像許多申請者那樣把一個剛出道的年輕工程師吹捧成一個大師， “獨立承擔著”某項劃時代的科研項目，而是恰如其分地介紹了杜女士在工作的初期還在繼續(xù)學習，她在這段培訓過程中十分地刻苦，工作十分細致，出色地完成了非常枯燥的、重復性的數據記錄工作。

其實國外任何指導實驗的教授都知道，一個研究生剛畢業(yè)到了研究部門只能是做些輔助的工作，所以杜女士擁有這樣的經歷已經足以說明其素質和能力了。所以在推薦信中，切忌不切實際地瞎吹。否則，就會弄巧成拙，反而會起到反效果。
