Hey everyone, do you ever wonder when's the right time to ask for a recommendation letter? I totally get it; it can be super awkward to approach a professor or a boss about it. Here’s what worked for me: I tried to time my request right after a positive interaction, like right after a great presentation or discussion. They’re more likely to have a good impression of you then!
Also, giving them a heads-up beforehand that you might need a letter helps a ton. It makes it feel less sudden when you finally ask. Anyone else have tips or experiences to share?
