[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Letters of Recommendation:” _builder_version=”4.3.2″ hover_enabled=”0″]

Stanford requires two letters of references:

  • One reference from a current direct supervisor (or next best alternative) at work
  • One reference from someone else who has supervised your work

Here is a list of questions that a candidate’s referee must address:

  1. How does the applicant’s performance compare to that of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles? Please provide specific examples (e.g., what are the applicant’s principal strengths?). (Up to 500 words)
  2. Describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant’s response. (Up to 500 words)
  3. (Optional) Is there anything else we should know? Please be concise.

Here are some tips for the letter of recommendation:

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.

How a letter of recommendation should be written: The recommender should add specific instances/examples of the candidate’s professional work together.

How to send the letter of recommendation: 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.
