Webinar Summary
Few people think about letters of reference until they need one or need to write one. However, a good practice is to start thinking about the letters you will need or need to write from the beginning of a new position. Keeping in mind that your letter writers are busy people, request letters in a way that will allow them to spend quality time on your letter. This will likely lead to the best results.
