+- I can write a recommendation letter if I can honestly endorse your work from the ML Zoomcamp 2025 and related coursework. If I don’t feel comfortable making a strong endorsement, I’ll be honest and suggest alternatives.
+- What I’d need from you: a current resume; the job posting or description; the deadline; to whom the letter should be addressed; any specific points you want highlighted (e.g., projects, skills, teamwork); preferred tone (formal or concise); whether you want a short (about 200–300 words) or longer letter; and a few bullet points I can reference.
+- What I can provide: a draft letter or notes, a bullet-point reference sheet, and a tailored letter that reflects your strengths and the job requirements; I will not make statements I can’t substantiate.
+- Suggested process: 1) share materials and deadline; 2) I confirm I can provide a solid endorsement; 3) I draft the letter and share it with you; 4) you review and we revise as needed; 5) you use the final version for your applications.
+- Template you can send to the recommender (you can customize):
