Request Letter to Boss/HR for Work Experience Certificate

When an employee leaves his job either because of resignation or termination by his employer, then it would be advisable for that employee to get an experience letter from the employer.

An experience letter contains a very brief summary or outline of the work areas carried out by an employee on a broad level. Sometimes, it contains brief details of one or more big achievements by the employee during his association with the company.

The experience letter will also contain details on the total time period of employment along with the overall remark or impression of the employer on the behavior and conduct of the employee.

An employee should try best to get the experience letter from the employer with polite requests, as the experience letter may be required in future for the immediate next employment or an employment afterwards.

A format of experience letter is available here - you may also check the same for reference.

You can request for the experience letter to the officer who was your immediate senior /boss in the company or you can write to the HR department for issuing the same. You may request it either through an email or a physical letter as it suits you or as required by the company.

The format of the communication from your side could be as follows. This is for your reference.
