Writing characteristics requires some skills from managers. The main thing in this document is the correct design and precise indication of business, psychological, professional qualities. Perhaps these recommendations will simplify the process of drafting an official document.
A characteristic for a student, as for any other person, begins with an indication of the organization. Usually a corner stamp with an address, name, contact details of the organization, outgoing number is sufficient.
After that comes a heading containing information about the biographical data of the student or trainee. For example: "Characteristics of the 1st year student of the Southern Federal University Ivanov Vikentiy Gavrilovich, born in 1988." Here you can specify additional data: the department, and if we are talking about a student-intern, the exact location of the practice.
The next block indicates the student’s academic and professional qualities: responsibility and diligence, perseverance and level of knowledge, the ability to learn independently, difficulties that cause certain aspects of learning. If this is a characteristic of a student at a military registration and enlistment office or university, then you can indicate how he copes with studies in general, which subjects cause difficulties, and which student has a particular interest.
Here it is important to indicate the attitude to work, study, physical training. If the young man has an additional specialty, then you can also indicate her in the characteristic. If the characterization of a student is written from the place where he completed his internship, then it is recommended to accurately indicate all the types of activities that he has mastered.
Further, it is recommended to characterize the level and quality of knowledge acquired during practice or study. A characteristic for a student may also contain elements of his psychological portrait: temperament, a tendency to certain types of activity, a mentality, the ability to concentrate, public activity, etc. Here you can also note what motivation is most appropriate for the student.
Personal qualities, which contains a characteristic for the student, should not be sharply negative. For example, phrases can be constructed in such a way: "can not do a tedious job for a long time, but has organizational skills."
Further, the characteristic for the student should contain a block informing about how he builds relationships with others: students, seniors and positions, etc.
If the characteristic for a student from the place of study is compiled for the military registration and enlistment office, you can indicate the level of physical fitness, the sports that he practiced during training.
The final stage is the conclusions. The teacher has the right (if it is a recruiting office or practice) to indicate what type of activity is optimal for the student from his point of view.
In addition, the last paragraph should indicate where and for whom the characteristics of the student are provided.
When compiling this document, remember that it can be issued only personally in hand and against receipt, be sure to assure the head’s signature and the round seal before this.
