Hi guys,

I have couple of questions related to the reference letter. I worked for one company prior to where I'm currently working. Can you guys please advice me on my below couple of queries.
  • My previous company is providing me a reference letter with Letter head and Signed. And date in the document is written below the sign and contact details are printed on the right top of the page. Will this be an issue.
  • In my current company, I have request the HR to provide the letter. They have provide on a Letter head but the responsibilities they have mentioned are generic to my designation. For this purpose I have requested my current manager to send an email to me using our official email to provide me with the roles and responsibilities. Which he did with a Signature in the email which has the Company logo. His details are present in the Signature as well. And since the email has a Date Time stamp, he didn't include date in the content of the email. Can you guys let me know if i can submit the above two, letter from HR and email from manager as reference letters.
Please help me with the above two and advice me if anything else is required.

- No it will not be an issue
- What responsibilities HR has mentioned vs the responsibilities your manager? Do not want an agent reviewing responsibilities on document a and b get confused.

Thank you for your timely response.

I'm applying for NOC 2174. And HR has mentioned very generically, stating "He is involved in defining and development and maintenance and testing of the software. He leads a team of other software developers." And some other text about my employment details.

In my managers email, I have detailed summary about of roles and responsibilities with all the names of the projects I have worked on and what I have done in those projects.

I think your HR letter is sufficient. Remember you are not apply for a job here, your reference letter need to reflect you present occupation not details about your projects
