Benefits of a Strong LOR

Before we understand the benefits of a strong LOR, we must know what LOR is. LOR, that is, Letter of Recommendation plays a very important role in admission in graduation, master’s or PhD or business studies abroad. Generally three or more letter of recommendation is needed to apply to study outside India. The admission committee of any college depends highly on the letter of recommendation to know about your abilities and attentiveness. This helps them make the decision whether they will be considering you as an eligible candidate for taking admission in their college or not. You must be very careful while giving your LORs because they will help create your impression on the admission committee and this can make or break your impression. You can check for several LOR samples online for reference. You can also take professional services of writing good and strong letter of recommendation.

Recommendations play a very important role in your admission. The admission committee might be interested in knowing you better through a recommender who knows you well professionally. You can provide different recommenders for different applications as it can be disturbing for the recommenders to get frequent calls and to respond to all of them.

The association of the LORs should be clearly mentioned. If the recommender is the boss of the student in a previous job then it should be mentioned with the designation of the person and the boss should have described a situation when he has been excellent as an employee and performed his tasks diligently. The student can also give their professor’s name. In that case he would have to mention the subject that the teacher has taught, for the number of years he has taught and he must have elaborated the abilities and qualities of the student. The student should be very careful about who they choose as their recommenders as this is a very important requirement in the admission criteria in abroad. It is advisable to give recommenders who can tell about your various talents. This will have a good impact on the admission committee as they would know about your various capabilities. This will throw the light on your different strengths and the admission committee will get impressed and this will increase chances of your selection in your dream college.

Now there might be a question in your mind that how would you know that who would be a good recommender. Many a times, having good relationship with a person won’t mean that he would be a good recommender. The recommender should be able to describe your strengths, abilities, positivity, character, attitude and performance. A recommender necessarily does not have to be of a very high designation. The person should be the one who has worked with you, taught you or have seen you grow. These people are the best to write a letter of recommendation for you. He should be the one who has observed you very closely and is able to comment on your ability to work and capability to handle a situation. He must be framing your strengths in such a way that your resume becomes very much attractive and preferable to the admission committee.

If you are applying for a bachelor’s degree then your recommendation letter can be from your teacher of the subject you are applying for or your school’s principle. Anyhow the person should have close observation of you and must be describing your skills well.

If one is applying for a Master’s degree then he can again give the names of his professor who have taught him in his bachelor’s course and can explain how hard working he is as a student and also a guide in a vital project who can explain his situational skills and how he manages problems and risks.

Similarly for MBA abroad one needs enough experience and in that case one can give his boss’s name as the recommender. The boss is the one who has worked with you, knows your skills well and has observed you closely. He can tell about your leadership skills, problem solving skills, positive attitude and ability to handle tense situations.
