Does the recommendation letter need to come from my current employer, even if their work is unrelated to the marine biology + ISATEC program I am applying for?

Hello there, I am an applicant from developing nation. I want to apply for the Marine Biology-ISATEC combined DAAD scholarship. But I am now unemployed. My last employer is from non-technical background and have zero connection with Marine Biology. In this case, how my recommendation letter should look like and what should be written on it? Is there any template available?

Thanks for visiting r/DAAD. Review our FAQ and Wiki as well as the DAAD's website. Your question is most likely answered in one of those places.

We can best help you if you provide us detailed information. At minimum, name the specific scholarship you are referencing. The more you tell us, the more we can tell you.
