The faxing service is for transmission only. Potential employers often ask for references. This service is a convenient way to provide potential employers with additional verification that you have the qualities and abilities for the position under consideration. It is recommended that you consider obtaining letters of recommendation from faculty members, former employers, and other appropriate people who can comment on your qualifications. Authorization and Release for Reference Service forms must be signed by the student and submitted to the Office of Co-op and Career Services.
Forms are available from the co-op receptionist.
Letter of Recommendation forms are available from the receptionist, or your references may use their own letterhead. Photocopies of letters received by the Office of Co-op and Career Services will be sent to prospective employers upon either your request or theirs. You will not have access to those letters which the originators have clearly indicated are confidential. If you choose not to use this service, it is recommended that you develop a reference page which lists the names, titles and contact information for 3-4 people who can comment on your qualifications. This reference page would be provided to the employer upon request.
