Keep it to verifiable facts that a new employer, LMRA or an embassy can check:
When an expatriate moves to a new employer in Bahrain, the change runs through the Labour Market Regulatory Authority. A clear certificate with the same job title as the permit avoids questions at that step.
Doctors, nurses and engineers often need certificates for licensing elsewhere in the GCC. Include the department and main duties when the employee asks, since licensing bodies look for relevant experience.
