Do Reference Letters Matter in a Job Search

Brothers and sisters in arms, Mike Sarrialle from CareerRecon. I’m back.

People ask us do reference letters matter in a job search? They do, but here’s the thing, you often have to write the letters for the people that are going to sign them.

Of course, they’ll apply their edits, but if you had that great platoon commander, you’re asking them to write a reference letter, often you have to provide the material for them, they’re busy people. A great reference letter, highlighting all your strengths and the value that you brought to your past military unit, does not fall on deaf ears in the private sector, I guarantee it.
