How to Ask Your Boss?

A sample Employer Request Letter

Dear [boss]

To help provide our clients & candidates with the most current professional knowledge and skills in the industry, I would like to attend the 2011 CSP Staffing & Recruiting Conference, May 19–21 in San Diego

The Conference offers over 40 hrs of workshops to choose from with over 20 top industry speakers

The Full Conference+ pricing includes access to any of the sessions & entry into the Friday night “Rockin’ with the Pirates” party (networking?). It also covers 4 additional meals & admission into the exhibit hall

Early bird rates end 4/26 so we need to register soon. The reduced room rates for the San Diego Hilton Resort also expire on 4/26

Attending the Conference will enhance my professional knowledge and skills, which will enable me to provide better care for my clients. I will be able to pass on much of what I learn to my co-workers

Here's the link for more information: http://www.cspnet.org/news/conference.cfm

Thank for saying YES!

Sincerely,
(you)
