Before asking for a recommendation, please stop and reflect on whether I am the person who can best highlight your strengths and the position-specific qualifications. If I am the best person to write for you, then just ask and I will usually be able to write one!
To request a recommendation, complete this form as early as possible and at least a month before the recommendation is due. Except for in very exceptional circumstances, I cannot write you a recommendation letter if it is due within 3 weeks and I haven't written you a letter before. I need more advance notice for letters due in the summer.
I will respond to you by email with whether I am able to provide a recommendation.
If I've agreed to write you a recommendation, please send me a reminder email one week before the deadline, and 2 days before the deadline.
