Questions:
-
As most of my referrers do not have a LinkedIn profile, should I provide a comprehensive CV or is it enough to highlight their career achievements in some sentences?
-
How to prove that the user data, revenue I provided are authentic? This data was sent by my previous college through a chat box, so is it sufficient to provide a screenshot of the chat message? But the screenshot just shows he sent me a file.
