Recommender Question?

I assume then that I should know what the recommenders are talking about..
Since I have waived rights on the first job reco, this could be a problem!

How about good reco from an ordinary job? Does that hurt?

Have them talk to each other I guess. What do you mean an "ordinary" job?

You can have them talk to each other or you can also prep them. In fact, you SHOULD prep them. Many bosses won't understand the importance of a the recommendation letter to this process. Too many of them are used to writing short, superficial work references. This is different.

So, prepping. Something like this:

"Deirdre, I really want you to talk about that bit of data analysis that I did for that last grant report. Do you think you could do that?... Yeah?.... Great.... That's a good story."

"Bill, would you talk about my training skills and the leadership I provide to the volunteer corps? I know you sat in on my last training, and I think that would make a compelling story....You think so too?...Great..."

Yep, that's my work life. Giant love festival.

EDIT: Ooh! That's number 100!
