One should choose such a person with whom they have a strong bond or connection. They should be knowing each other for a good amount of time and can speak about their strengths positively. The below points give a brief idea of whom the candidate can approach. ·       The student who wants to apply for a scholarship or college or graduation school: approach the teacher who has been teaching you for a very long time and you were doing good in their subject. For a particular subject, you need a recommendation then you can ask the teacher who has taught you that subject. ·       Applying for a job with very little work experience:  as your resume won’t, be having a strong reference regarding your professional experience, you can approach your far relative or friend. Make sure you are confident that, they can provide positive feedback about your strengths. ·       Applying for a Job with experience: the reference letter from your manager would result in value-added to your profile.
