So I asked my ex-boss if he could be my recommender. He said ok but he asked me whether he would require to send the recommendations from his office id. Because last time he had done this, the HR said you cannot use official things for your individual purpose.. So my question is:
1. Can my boss and my other recommenders submit the recommendations from their personal ids?
2. I am planning to apply in around 8-9 colleges. So should I really make them do the recommendation submissions themselves? I am sure doing the same thing all over again for 9 colleges is going to be pretty much hectic. Is is ok if i upload the recommendations(obviously with my recommender's consent)???
3. I had worked for my final year project(engineering) under a project guide who was working as the General manager and now has risen to the Asst. VP position in a different company. So is it good if I take a recommendation from him? Or will a recommendation from my college project guide would be better? Considering the fact that, I had just one manager for 2 and a half year who is my recommender no. 1. I am confused in selecting the recommender number 2.
Please guide how should I proceed.
Thanks.

Hey there,
1) Yes, but this isn't exactly advised. It calls your recommendations into question and that simply isn't a position you want to be in. See if you can work with HR to make an exception. Generally, they do and that really is your best option.
2) This is an emphatic no. Firstly, you can't do that - it gets mailed to their IDs directly - and secondly, no college will allow this. It violates the fundamental point behind the rec letters.
3) This depends. If you've been out of university for 2.5 years, a college recommendation is on the weaker side. I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to as a college guide - could you provide some more context?
4 - even though you didn't ask) 8 - 9 schools at this stage in the game is A LOT. Is there an opportunity to improve your target school list to bring that number down to something more realistic for both you AND your recommenders?
It seems you're in a place in the process where you have a lot of questions - don't hesitate to ask them! I'm happy to help!
