If you simply leave out certain points in your job reference, you are doing yourself a disservice.
The reason for termination is undoubtedly one of them.
The job reference should describe the tasks of an employee and evaluate his performance.
But because it always has to be formulated positively, it is often full of secret codes and opaque formulations *.
Unpleasant points such as a
termination by the company
would like to banish completely from the job reference.
But be careful: If you keep silent about the reason for the termination, you might even more suspect the new employer.
The reason for termination should always be stated in the job reference in the event of voluntary departure
Why an employee leaves the company
does not necessarily have to be in the job reference
.
However, those who leave voluntarily usually emphasize this, as employers rate a change at their own request positively.
After all, this also indicates professional development.
If the reason for the termination is omitted in the job reference, this leaves a lot of room for speculation - and the good impression is quickly gone.
For this reason, employees should
always insist that this be noted in the job
reference when they resign themselves
.
Like this:
"Ms. Maier is leaving us at her own request."
"Mr. Hauptmann is
leaving us at his own request to start studying."
Also interesting:
Do you have to write the job reference yourself on instruction?
Where is the reason for termination in the job reference?
The information on the termination of the employment relationship is usually in the final part of the job reference.
Anyone who follows formulations here in which the employer expresses his
regret about the exit
and
thanks
the
employee for the services provided
, has good cards to make a positive impression.
