The Character Reference: Your assignment is to write down three names that you would list as character references during an interview. Remember that a character reference cannot be a family member and ideally should be someone who has seen you at work or at school. Next, you are going to write a letter of reference about yourself from the point of view of one of the three individuals on your list. In this letter you are to talk about your character and distinguish yourself from other candidates, but you can only do it from this person’s point of view.
