employer letter reference

[canada4all]

I have worked for an employer for eight and half years. I had four different designations as
1-Supervisor
2-Senior Supervisor
3-Assistant Manager
4-Deputy Manager

I had almost same like responsibilities. My employer is willing to issue all commulative responsibilities on one page only after listing all designations on top . Employer is not willing to give multipage reference letter uder each individual job title?

Is it OK? or what should I do?

This is a common situation encountered by people with many years of experience.

I would suggest, make sure your reference letter is CLEAR in stating your PRESENT JOB TITLE/RESPONSIBILITIES and the duration you have held that position, additionally stating your previously held designations/duties etc.
I feel that in a Reference letter its very important to have the JOB TITLE, DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES, DURATION clearly mentioned.

For all of us on this forum its a clearly evident thing about the above mentioned items but for the HR Dept guys who prepare these reference letters they just go by their company template.
Try to prepare a letter template and give it to them, they might not use it completely but it will surely give them an idea and help you get a letter you/CIC is looking for.

I agree. Try to write the letter yourself, the way you envision it, then send it to them.
That's what I did and company gave me pretty much what I wrote with some additional data from them like the benefits, salaries, etc.
