Document background
The Reference Letter For Job Application is a crucial document in Hong Kong's employment landscape, serving as a professional testimony of an individual's work history and capabilities. It is typically requested when applying for new positions, during career transitions, or as part of academic applications. The document must comply with Hong Kong's legal framework, particularly the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and Defamation Ordinance, ensuring that personal information is handled appropriately and statements are truthful and non-discriminatory. The letter should provide meaningful insights about the employee's performance, skills, and professional conduct while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and professional standards. It carries significant weight in Hong Kong's business culture, where formal references are highly valued in the hiring process.
