Well, I pretty much taught him everything he knew (about coldfusion anyway) which may of explained why I didnt have time to write it myself. Not sure why you would think I didnt know enough about him to write the letter myself.
Theres more to it too. Sure you can write his letter but what if your spell checker misses a typo or a grammar flaw or something? He doesnt get the job bc your recomendation looks incompetent? I'm no grammar whiz but I sure would feel bad about it. Additionally, your candidate has probably researched who he is targeting the letter at and would understand which of his skills the target wants to see better than you. Either which way Angel, you can be weird whichever way you like.

When I was in high school, the guidance counselor had me write my own college reccommendations. Ever since, I've kinda felt that if you don't know the person's skills well enough to do a brief letter about them, you probably shouldn't agree to give them a reccommendation. But I'm weird that way. -- Ben Doom Programmer & General Lackey Moonbow Software, Inc : -----Original Message----- : From: Andre Turrettini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 9:37 AM : To: CF-Community : Subject: RE: Job Recommendation.. : : : Usually, I have them write it and I'll sign it.
