When requesting a recommendation, be clear and concise. Here are some tips:
Personalize your request and explain why you’re asking them specifically. Provide context or specific points you’d like them to highlight. Make it easy for them by offering a draft or bullet points.
For example, you might say: "I enjoyed working with you on [Project/Task], and I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide a recommendation focusing on [Specific Skills/Accomplishments]."
