Any idea where I can get a recommendor guide? Like a document that I can send to my manager to help with writing my rec letter.

It’s a good question; I haven’t come across any *free* templates yet (eg clear admit has a recommender’s guide for sale that includes guidance for recommenders, as do some other sites), though I also haven’t done a deep dive on this yet. Hopefully someone will share something here or maybe a deeper dive will produce some things that are free of charge. Agree that you’ll obviously need to tailor the guidance to your story and recommenders, but some of this will be standard guidance and you shouldn’t need to reinvent the wheel. Best of luck!

You create the recommender guide.

I’m not joking. It’s hard to circulate a template because recommendations are very personal to you and your recommenders.

Craft it such that the output it’s a continuation or extension of your story.

My organization absorbed another and the former deputy PM became a branch head - a demotion. For org was more focused on tech dev and not delivering a product on a sked.

He has no heir apparent - previous org didn’t plan that way. If I move him under someone who is a driver - he retires and I lose the knowledge. If I don’t, we may not meet schedules. Advice?
