推薦状回答の Tips

Strong Recommendations の例

Strengths(弱い vs 強い)

弱い:

"He is a hard worker."

強い:

"Among the 24 analysts I've directly managed in my 8-year tenure as Vice President, [Candidate] ranks in the top 3 for analytical rigor. In Q4 2022, he independently identified a structural error in our structured-product pricing model that, had it gone undetected, would have exposed us to ¥120M in mispriced positions. He communicated the issue, proposed a fix, and presented the solution to senior management—all within 36 hours."

Constructive Feedback(弱い vs 強い)

弱い:

"He needs to improve his communication skills."

強い:

"When [Candidate] joined Global Markets in August 2020, his reluctance to challenge senior traders during morning meetings initially limited his impact. I told him directly that his analytical insights were valuable but invisible if he didn't voice them. Over the following six months, he transformed— becoming one of the team members senior traders most often consulted. By 2022, he was running internal training on structured products for 240 retail sales representatives across the firm."
