Self-owned consulting firm reference letters

[jamaliam]

Hi Gents -

I hope this message finds you. I'm facing an enormous confusion about my experience. I own a consulting firm, where I officially worked full time for almost 9 months, and then found a great job and kept it going. In the meanwhile , I was also engaging myself with some part time projects , and that's how I have entered the information in the EE profile. I have withdrew my profile and plan to enter it again for some reasons as well.

XXX Consulting Firm 2002 - Till Present ( Part Time)
XXX Consulting Form from 2001 - 2002 (Full time)

and the job title entered in the EE profile is : owner, founder, Director (Thats how the consultants did it) and they didn't tick mark the " Self Employed " Option .

Now It's a crazy situation - Do I have to reach my clients and ask them for a reference letter ? or can assign someone to be the CEO of my consulting firm and write me a reference letter . If I have to go back to my client for reference letters, then can anyone show client sample reference letter.

Appreciate your answers and replies.

You should get client reference letters - I don't have any format but feel you should include the following info - dates you provided them service, what the scope of service was (should correspond to the job responsibilities of the NOC you are choosing) and the remuneration received. Get it from a couple of your clients, attach the work contracts for these customer and your bank statements or invoices showing the payments. That should suffice in my opinion. Getting a self declared or employee declared affidavit will not work in my opinion.

Hope this helps.
