Yes, you can get a letter of reference while currently working.
Ask your current supervisor or manager - someone familiar with your work and achievements - to write the letter. Approach them professionally and give at least 4-6 weeks’ notice before your application deadline. Share your updated resume, details about the program you’re applying to, and any specific projects or skills you’d like highlighted.
Be sure to inform them of the submission process and deadlines. After they submit the letter, thank them for their support.
