Mrwilson Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hello everyone, my wife and i have taken the plunge into getting our visas after a life changing trip to Brisbane. We are currently going through the skills assessment stage and need to draft up a letter to send to my previous employers to request working dates etc. Could anyone give advice on what the letter should include or have a template I can use? Thank you for any help. Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Didn't give my employers a template or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwilson Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Did you just ask them for a statement of employment and they sent one over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 If you need a reference letter, e.g. for skills assessment, I'd draft it and send it to them asking them to confirm the details are accurate and if they are ok with it, to sign and post it back to you (sending a self-addressed stamped envelope would likely be appreciated too). Many employers will be fine with helping if a lot of the work is taken care of for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsan Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Thats exactly what i did, which was a royal pain as i had to go back 10 years. Essentially send a template in the form of: To whom it may concern, I can confirm that X worked as a X between XX/XX/XXX and XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX plc/ltd Duties included: XXX Cut and paste from job description / whatever you did XXX If you require any further info please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours XXXX XXXX and then politely asked my boss(es) / HR to print on headed paper and sign before sending back. that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
