All of my previous employers have asked me to write the letter that describes my job duties. They will then read them, make sure they are an accurate representation of my position, then print them on letterhead, sign and return to me.
It appears that I'm in a fortunate position. I'm slightly concerned that a few of my jobs may not appear to be graduate level. (The ones I am concerned about were 2 different Sales & Marketing Assistant jobs)
I'd like advice on how to format these letters--I can't find any example letters. What I'd like to see is how people formatted them, do you do bullet points? Write each duties and then give an in-depth description? I'm not sure how I can relate specific points to skills I gained in college. I'm not even sure if I really did develop any specific skills in college, to be honest.
I've already printed out 3-4 job listings per job that have similar responsibilities and say that a BA degree is required.
Are there any other specific 'buzzwords' I should use?
So far, I'm planning on including 'graduate level,' 'full time' and 'high level of analytic skill.' Is there anything out I should point out (if it's actually applicable)? I'm not sure how long to make these--I'm worried if I put too much information it will be overwhelming.
I'd love to see some sample letters, templates or formats. I've searched the site, and while I have seen mention of templates floating around, I haven't actually found them.
Thanks so much!
