Hello All,
I have received ITA last month and in the process of collecting reference letters from the employers. I know there is not any standard format for the reference letters but someone mentioned that each designation should have separate job duties. My challenge is, as in most Indian companies, my company do change the designation but there is no change in the duties. I worked as the individual contributor roles and the job duties remain the same for all my designations. Designation change in India depends more on the salary brackets than the job duties. I have got the reference letters in the following format.
Can seniors comment if there is some issue with the content of the letter?
