I already looked up the dictionary but it didn't help..
which one should i use for the following sentence?
"A reference letter should contain a concise and ____ description of the candidate's strenghths and experience"
I can understand that we use "accurate" here, but why not "evident"?

Because evident is not a synonym for accurate. Evident does not mean accurate. The definitions and synonyms for both evident and accurate are completely different. Evident is an adjective that is not related to the noun "description". It does not modify or describe it.
