An official characteristic is a special official document that contains information about scientific, official, as well as any other activities of an employee of a company or corporation. In addition, it contains assessments of moral, psychological and, of course, business (professional) qualities. Why is it needed and how to make it competently?
Registration
So, the service description is compiled by the head of the structural unit in which the person worked. The form of content is arbitrary, and they are written in third-person terms. After the text is made, it is necessary to transfer the document to the head of the company, who is obliged to put a signature and seal there. After these actions, an official characteristic will be considered an official paper with which a former employee of the company will be able to go to get another job. Actually, for this it is usually made up.
basic information
The service characteristic usually contains three blocks. The first is basic. It is the personal data of the employee. They indicate his surname, name and patronymic, as well as the date when he was born. We also need to write what position he held, and for how long he was in the company. It is also necessary to indicate the rank and academic degree of the employee (if any are assigned to him). And sometimes they write about his achievements in the learning process, that is, about which university and with what results a person graduated. You can also indicate career growth (maybe an employee started working in this company as a simple courier, and rose to the rank of senior manager).
main part
The next block, which contains the service characteristic, is an enumeration of the distinguishing features of the employee (naturally, those that concern him as a professional in a particular field of activity) and, in fact, an assessment of him as a specialist.
Professional skills, personal and business qualities - all this must be indicated without fail. The service description for the employee should show him from all sides, so that the future employer understands who he is going to accept into the team. You can write something like this: "An employee in the process of working for Company N proved to be a punctual and responsible administrator. He possesses qualities such as initiative, professionalism and the ability to quickly solve tasks. He is sociable, quickly finds a language with all clients and colleagues." Of course, this is a very brief information, however, samples of service characteristics offer something like this description.
More information is a guarantee of good performance.
The more detailed the qualities of the employee are described, the better. You should list as many good (or bad - depending on which employee) traits that characterize him as a specialist best. Professional competence, business qualities, working capacity, psychological qualities - do not lose sight of anything.
The category of professional competence, for example, includes erudition in various matters, self-education, knowledge of documentation, rights, obligations, as well as professional experience. The category of business qualities includes the ability to organize a team, establish good business relations with potential partners, and a predisposition to analytics.Efficiency is the activity of an employee, the quality of work performed, responsibility, timeliness, quick adaptation to new conditions and situations. And finally, what is related to psychology is responsiveness, culture, ethics, stress tolerance, adequacy, etc.
As you can see, all qualities are important. And this is true, therefore, all of them must be indicated in the characteristic.
