Document background
A Professional Letter of Recommendation is a crucial document in the Austrian professional landscape, used to support career advancement, job applications, and academic pursuits. It must be drafted in accordance with Austrian labor law and EU data protection regulations, particularly the GDPR. The document typically includes the recommender's professional assessment of the candidate's skills, achievements, and character, while maintaining objectivity and truthfulness as required by Austrian law. Professional Letters of Recommendation are commonly requested during job transitions, applications for advanced positions, or academic programs, and must strike a balance between being informative and maintaining compliance with privacy and data protection requirements. The document's content should be factual, specific, and relevant to the candidate's professional capabilities while avoiding any discriminatory or prejudicial statements.
