1、要早点联系推荐人。如果你早就决定出国学习，而且专业方向定下的话，在你帮助一位教授完成一个项目而你的表现也不错的时候，及时地请教授写一封推荐信当然是最好了。
或者是你申请教育学，而又刚刚在一所中学做了两个月的实习教师，为什么不马上请该校的校长或教导主任给你写一封推荐信呢?这样至少能保证到申请时推荐人不会忘了你做过什么。如果你已经着手申请，至少要提前一两个月和教授打招呼，给教授留充足的时间为你写推荐信，无论对于你赶申请期限，还是减轻推荐人压力都是很有利的。
2、主动给推荐人提供自己的详细信息。争取在推荐人着手写推荐信之前和推荐人详谈一次，哪怕只有10分钟，主要谈谈自己的学业成绩和自己的目标，申请专业和方向。
同时最好提供一份自己的详细简历，当然，如果你的.自述信已经成稿或有草稿的话，可以一并提供。这样便既可以使推荐人在推荐你时有的放矢，针对你申请的课程推荐，又可以避免推荐信过于泛泛而无实例的弊端。
3、推荐表VS推荐信。很多学校都有固定格式的推荐表，虽然是为了方便推荐人，但实际上却给中国的大部分推荐人带来很多麻烦。如果你一下子申请20所学校，光填表也够教授累的。
对于一些特别声明用推荐表的学校，你尽量用推荐表，另外附上推荐信即可。而对于大部分学校，你都可以把自己要填的一部分，即申请方向或/和放弃阅读的权利声明，签上字即可。而只要推荐信中包含推荐表中的内容，就可以直接附上签过字的推荐信即可。
