Getting a reference letter is far more difficult and often a source of much anxiety. Whom to ask， how to ask， what to say？
（要一封牛推看起來十分困難，問誰要？怎么要？都是十分值得考究的）
But getting an outstanding reference letter is entirely within your control and easier than you think， even if you don＇t have a benevolent benefactor at your back.
（其實，就算你不是李剛，也沒有樂善好施的干爹教授，獲得一封完美的推薦信是完全比想象中容易而且可以控制的）
Here are three tips to ensure your mentor， former boss， or academic counselor writes you a rave review：
1. Highlight their qualifications
2. Provide a template
3. Offer a ＂no questions asked＂
（向你的導(dǎo)師，老板，教授有3大要點，
1.強調(diào)他們的NB之處
2.提供一個摸版
3.不要用疑問句，用祈使句）

Let＇s look at each of these individually：
Highlight their Qualifications
（1.強調(diào)對方亮點）
When reaching out to ask for a letter of reference， explain up front and center why it is that you value that person＇s opinion and respect their professional expertise enough so that you chose them （of all people） to vouch for you in your next professional endeavor.
Beyond mere flattery， show why you think that person is uniquely qualified to accurately assess and communicate your personal contribution to your future organization. Why did you enjoy working for them， and why do you value their opinion？ Why do you look up to them？ How do the qualities match your own， or speak to the authority you want your recommendation to convey？
（為什么對方的推薦信能適合你給你帶來好處？不要純拍馬屁，寫出來你當(dāng)時怎么喜歡和他一起共事，他們?nèi)绾纹ヅ淠愕?，等等?BR> Provide a Template
（2.提供摸版）
It＇s almost impossible to get a good reference letter from someone if you don＇t provide the tools necessary for them to actually write a good letter. It＇s also terribly inconsiderate not to give ample guidance. The last thing anyone wants to do is spend hours or days thinking about and drafting a letter whichh you yourself could have composed far better and more readily in about half the time.
Providing a template， therefore — an outline， bullet points， or even a fully-baked draft — of what you＇d like the reference letter to say is the most effective （not to mention generous and thoughtful） approach to asking for a letter of reference. The goal isn＇t to put words into your former colleague＇s mouth or to co-opt her into vouching for you in an untrue or disingenuous manner； it＇s simply to do some of the work for her and provide all of the pertinent data points that you＇d like included in the letter. Moreover， as boastful， bragging or full of yourself you may feel writing your own referral， often people will be even more generous than you will when talking about your skills and contribution to an organization. So go ahead and toot your own horn.
注意事項
1. 及早開始
不是每個老師都會關(guān)心你的deadline的。有時如果遇到holiday season，郵件可能會很久才寄到。要給老師充足的時間。
2. 附上CV
如果是申請研究所，附上CV是很重要的，因為這是學(xué)術(shù)圈的慣例，讓別人知道你最近作了什么，有什么成就，老師才方便幫你美言幾句。
3. 附上讀書計劃/研究計劃
這點是這么建議，但不是每個老師都需要這些。如果你是要申請研究所或是找工作，你提供多一點訊息，老師更能清楚指出你研究的獨特之處，將推薦信寫得更好。
4. 找指導(dǎo)老師與合作過的老師寫
寫推薦信要找誰寫呢？如果是找工作，我建議是找出現(xiàn)在你 CV 上的人寫，因為你有與這些老師合作的經(jīng)驗，他們更清楚你是什么樣的人，你的研究是什么。如果你是申請碩士班或博士班，CV還不夠長的話，那就找你的指導(dǎo)教授、修過課的老師寫。如果你的選擇夠多，那就選與領(lǐng)域比較相近、比較有名的老師寫，會更有力。一般來說，我覺得 associate professor 以上的推薦信，別人比較看重。
5. 提供足夠的資訊
如果要一次多封，最重要最重要的就是提供足夠的資訊。范本如下：
學(xué)校名稱 （招生或工作廣告網(wǎng)頁） 截止日期
系所名稱 （或工作名稱）
寄發(fā)資訊 （是線上申請還是郵件）
收件人與住址
附注
如果推薦信有固定格式或需要附表，請先填好給老師。
如果有的老師希望你先擬草稿，那你就把草稿擬了，給母語者改好，再給你的老師。
6. 記得 track
有些老師就是忙，會忘記要幫你寫推薦信。記得截止前一周，再提醒老師一次。另外，也要跟學(xué)校追蹤，看學(xué)校是否有收到推薦信。如果少了，詢問他們收到哪幾封。
