Hey Anamika,

A letter of recommendation (LOR) can be written by anyone who can speak to the character, skills, or qualifications of the person being recommended. This can include supervisors, teachers, professors, coworkers, or other professionals who have worked with or observed the person. The most effective letters of recommendation are written by individuals who can provide specific examples and insights into the person's strengths and abilities.

Hey Lavanya,

The purpose of a letter of recommendation, as the name implies, is one that endorses a student, employee, coworker, or colleague. When sent to a student, this letter enables the admissions panel to learn more about the candidate. It goes without saying that this is a terrific tool for highlighting the applicant's strengths and, most important information as seen through the mentor, superior, advisor, or faculty member's perspective.

Hey Tara,
A letter of recommendation is an honest endorsement of an individual for a certain post, award, or admission into a program. In order to write a LOR, you must cover these points-

Start with a greeting or salutation. An introduction paragraph stating your name and recommended position. You can also give a short introduction about yourself. Answer the question- 'Why are you an ideal person for this position?' Share a personal anecdote, elaborating on your traits and skills. Close the LOR by reiterating the recommendation.

Hey Robert!

Your reference letters for university applications reflect your merit, character, and achievements from an external perspective. Commonly, it is an academic letter of recommendation for students from professors sent in conjunction with the college application. This main is an academic letter of recommendation.

When you apply to a university abroad, the institution might want to know things about you that distinguish you from the other applicants. Your letter of recommendation and statement of purpose gives you an edge over your peers. Most universities require a reputable person to talk for you and confirm what you say about yourself in your application to keep the selection criteria impartial and transparent.

Hey Rajesh,
Universities have a standard admissions process, and LORs are a crucial aspect of this process. Many institutions need at least 2-3 academic, professional, or a mix of both the LORs to filter out the students for admissions. Here’s the importance of LOR-

A third-party opinion matters- An academic LOR would include your professors’ views about you. The way they talk about your abilities as a student is an essential factor for universities to consider. Similarly, a professional LOR would tell universities about your strengths and weaknesses in a professional capacity. Your employer’s views might help the university make the right decision about your admissions. Therefore, it is safe to say that LORs can make or break your chances of getting into your dream university.

A document that validates your experience- A great LOR helps you validate your experience and skills. Not only this, the document can talk about your achievements in the professional and academic field, the projects you’ve worked on, and more. This is why you should do some research before choosing a recommender to write the LOR.

All in all, a good LOR will enhance your chances of getting into the university you’ve applied to.

How can I get my LOR?

Hey Robert!

LOR for McGill University must meet the following conditions:

The program the student has applied to must be clearly indicated and the letter should include information that would aid an admissions committee in making an informed decision.
Letters must be dated and not be more than 12 months old.
The referee must indicate his/her position and full contact information at the institution.

There are three important factors to consider when you’re choosing a recommender-

How long you have known them What they have worked on with you, and Their qualifications
Read more about each of these factors here

First of all, calm down

If your recommender is your Manager, ask your Team Leader to recommend you
You can use the same content

If it's a teacher, ask another professor to do the same
If they have already seen you do what's mentioned in the letter, reuse it
Otherwise, tweak your content a bit and then ask them to sign it

Check your application status
If it says "Under review" there's nothing to worry about
Otherwise, email the admissions department and make sure they got the LOR

Use a standard font like Times new roman and size 12

No, it will not.
But make sure you use the college/company letterhead to signify your recommender's authority.

You could also ask people you have worked with, outside of your restaurant
But make sure they are at a level better than yours

Make one and use it for all
Just make sure you delete the author details from properties, though

You should have both
Which is easier if you're working
If you're a student, get an internship or volunteer and get a non-academic LOR

Pen down your LOR in the standard format, covering all the aspects of a regular LOR
Once this is done, it should be easy for you to divide and edit your content accordingly
Reach out to me in case you need any help

Depends
If you're only applying to 2 or 3...
And if your recommenders are okay with it...
You can
Still, I advise against it

You can refer this blog to see how to write it
