Can’t get my direct supervisor (only supervisor for 1.5 mo) to write rec because of lack of time + stigma. My former supervisor (1.5 yrs) and a project manager will be doing my recs. YOE 3.5
I’ve seen many “do I explain in optional?” jokes but does this count as an extenuating circumstance to write about? Do I write a lot of background or an direct explanation?

Question: I currently work as an inside sales account manager selling a wide portfolio of IT products. I’ve been recruited for a role that would be an outside sales role selling ONLY a software solution that Im able to sell at my current company (but usually don’t due to other options that we are compensated better off of.) The new role would have some overlap with current customers that I work closely with now (one being a VERY large client.) Would this violate a non-compete/solicitation?
