I graduated last year and unfortunately ended up with a 1 year career gap. During this time, I was actually helping my friend’s startup/company (very small team, around 3 members). Now my friend, who is also the founder, said he can provide me with a 1 year internship certificate/experience letter.

I’m confused whether this is safe or if it can get me into trouble later during background verification. If HR/company calls them, my friend will pick up and confirm it. Also, to be fair, I really did work with them on projects, just not in a very formal corporate setup.
