Tips for recommendation letters:

• Who can give a recommendation: You will have to provide details of one recommender who can be your reporting manager/ previous manager/ senior colleague/ current client/ previous client/ business partner/ supplier/ auditor etc.
• It should not be a bunch of adjectives. The recommender should add specific instances/examples of your professional work together.
• Academic recommendations ( from professors/teachers etc) are not valid
• The recommender should send the recommendation from the official email id only. If the recommender does not have an official id – then proof that you reported / or was supervised by this person should be attached.
• Go by the quality of the evaluation rather than the seniority of the designation

Letter of recommendation questions:

• How long have you known the applicant and in what capacity?
• What do you consider the applicant’s most outstanding talent or ability?
• What do you consider the applicant’s chief liabilities and weaknesses?
