Arrrgghhh! A couple of years ago, I wrote a thread on #recommendationletters. Somehow it got all mixed up and out of order.
Booo!
I decided I'd reorganize & retweet it for any who are gearing up to get their letter game going--including me!
Y'all ready? Let's do this!

How do you feel when someone asks you to write them a letter of recommendation for residency or fellowship?
Do you feel:
Honored?
Indifferent?
Conflicted?
Obligated?
Happy?
Now that I have a good approach, I actually love writing letters. Crazy, I know!

Since many are in the throes of letters (or just finished) thought I’d share my approach. I welcome your insights, too!
Cool? Cool.
Let’s 1st assume that the person you’ve agreed to recommend, is 1 you CAN recommend. If you can’t? You owe it to them to be honest.
But how?
