I plan on getting a job right after college. Will most employers want recommendation letters from professors?

Question

If so, how many do they typically ask for?

Answer 1

Go to your college career center!

They have services for just that thing. You ask your professors now for one letter, ask 4-5 of them and have the letters put in your Career Services folder. Then, when you apply for jobs, you ask the Career Services office to forward your letters of recommendation for you. This makes it a lot easier for you, since it can be difficult to track down teachers after you leave school and you become a vague memory to them.

Your Career Services office is there as a service to you now and after you graduate to help you with jobs, interviews, internships and alumni networking. Use them! It's a free service!

Answer 2

Most employers if not all, will require a reference letter but it does not necessarily need to be from a professor. Usually a previous employer or person that has known you for a long time. You may not relatives most of the time.

Answer 3

Letters from professors and GPAs mean absolutely nothing in the work force.

Create a resume with work experience and have your professors lie for you.

This way, hopefully, you will be able to get an entry level job.

Answer 4

First make confident you've a resume waiting. there are quite some web pages and books which could help you. Ask your professors for a reference letter basically so that you've it. remember reference letters from human beings interior the community, which includes a manager at your cutting-edge pastime, or church, and so on. on your resume, "positioned references accessible upon request."

Answer 5

I'd say that if you got 3 references, you should be fine!

Good luck.
