Recommendation Letter FAQ

What is a letter of recommendation?

A formal document written by someone who can vouch for a person's qualifications, character, or achievements. Used for job applications, academic programs, scholarships, and other opportunities.

Who should write a letter of recommendation?

Someone who knows the person well and can speak to specific qualities relevant to the opportunity — a direct supervisor, professor, mentor, or colleague.

How long should a recommendation letter be?

One page, typically 400-500 words. Long enough for specific examples, concise enough that the reader finishes the entire letter.

Can I use a template for a recommendation letter?

Yes. Start with a professional template for proper formatting, then customize with specific details about the person you're recommending.
