How to write a letter of recommendation for a friend?
« on: January 09, 2025, 01:01:03 am »
Hi, friends! My friend was asked to provide a letter of recommendation for a new job and he asked me for help. I have never written such letters before and I don’t know where to start. Maybe someone can tell me how to write one correctly so that it looks professional?

When I wrote a letter of recommendation for a friend, I focused on his professional and personal qualities that help him be successful in his job. It is very important to mention specific examples of situations where he demonstrated his skills. I found a https://jobssite.ca/advice-on-writing-personal-reference-letter-from-a-friend/  with recommendations on how to properly format a reference letter for a friend for a job so that it looks convincing and helps a friend get a job useful.
