If you were separating from the force and preparing to begin a career in the civilian/private sector, who would you seek or prefer letters of recommendation from?
Would you get a letter from a 1, 2, 3-star general if you could?
Would you prefer: rank? position? professional relationship?

I have written several letters of recommendation for my
past Soldiers. I would seek a letter of recommendation from any leader
who knows you and has writing skill.
Unless you plan on working within the DoD or the defense industry
the rank of the writer will matter little.

This is an excellent question. I got letters of recommendation from 2 of my most recent company-level commanders (I was a direct report to them), as well as the director of the organization I did some volunteer work for.

When I had ETS'ed from the Army, I had received three different letters of recommendation; one from my Platoon Sergeant (E-6); another one from a Warrant (CW2) Officer that I worked with on a deployment; finally, the third one from my Company Commander (O-3).
There was no particular reason as to why I had received letter of recommendation from an NCO, Warrant and Commissioned Officer, each. It just happened that way.
