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 a proof that you reported / or was supervised by this person should be attached.
- Go by the nature of the assessment rather than the seniority of the designation
