Hi Nextstop, Thanks for reaching out to us at StratusPrep! I've been working to be more active as a resource and just now seeing your question- but since you are applying in the future this advice will hopefully still be relevant. First, I wouldn't worry too much about the LinkedIn profile of your recommender. Doubtful that anyone will have the time to look that deeply into it. When you are reading a stack of app, as long as the rec letter in the file itself is solid- I don't think the reader would be taking the time to look up the recommender on LinkedIn- at least I know I would not have taken that time unless there was something about the rec letter itself that made me question something with a need to look deeper. I would not use this recommender as a substitute for using a current supervisor- but if this prior supervisor worked with you on a key project that you'd like to highlight or he is able to reinforce your key themes with detailed examples of your work then he could be a good choice. On the plus side- he may have the extra time to really write a thoughtful letter of support. As long as he can speak to your work delivery and he was in a supervisory role, I would not let his age or his LinkedIn status or non-status be the driving issue.
As you are preparing for upcoming applications, these are the kinds of supportive guidance a firm like Stratus Prep can provide. Most importantly we help our clients dig deeper to understand their key themes and then work to make sure all elements of the application- from rec letters to resume to essays to interview-- all support the key message you most want to convey. We'd love to talk to you and explain how we can help more-- you can reach us on our StratusPrep.com website for a free consult or feel free to PM me! Best wishes and hope this helps!
