FAQ

What should a letter of recommendation include?

Say how you know the person and for how long, describe two or three strengths with concrete examples, and end with a clear recommendation and your contact details. Keep it honest and to one page.

Who should write a recommendation letter?

Someone who knows your work or studies well, such as a manager, supervisor, professor or teacher. A detailed letter from a direct supervisor usually carries more weight than one from a senior person who barely knows you.
