Experience Certificate Sample for Software Engineer

Any work experience letter should ideally explain in a few sentences the experience an individual has attained at a particular organization. It should not go on and on. It is usually written by the immediate boss/supervisor or head of the department of the employee. These are individuals who have been in constant contact with the employee, and are best suited to write such a letter for him. The language used should be professional and clear, and there should be no beating around the bush. All these rules even apply to the format. The following steps will provide the basic guidelines that you can follow while writing an experience letter.

• Start with the date at the top left of the letter, followed by the salutation. In the case of an experience certificate, you are not sure who the letter should be addressed to. As such, you should simply write To Whomsoever it May Concern.
• In the first paragraph, state that you are writing this certificate for so-and-so individual. The date of joining and resignation needs to be mentioned here in the ‘from’ and ‘to’ format.
• In the second paragraph, write the position held by the employee, the job description (in this case the programming languages and technologies worked on), and the overall work skills. Also include a line about general conduct in the workplace. Some software companies tend to elaborate on and provide extensive details about the job description of the employee. While this is helpful, it does increase the length of the document. Further, the employee himself will elaborate on this experience in his resume.
• Wrap up the letter by giving your best wishes to the employee.
• Provide a salutation again, i.e., Sincerely, followed by your signature, name, position in the organization, name of the organization, and an authorized seal of the organization.
