I want to apply for an ALT position with Altia via e-mail, but am not sure about how I should send the recommendation letters. I'd imagine that it would not be appropriate for me to attach them with everything else in one e-mail (due to the confidentiality aspect). However, I also feel odd about having my references send extra e-mails.

Has anyone done this before? How does it work?

What does Altia ask you to do with them?

If you're simply just sending an initial application I wouldn't bother sending them now.

Their website says you can provide reference letters but they still want a number to actually to talk to the person who "wrote" them.

If you feel you have to provide them, ask the referee to do it by their own email or regular post.

You're planning on interviewing with them, right? They don't do Skype interviews like other ALT dispatch companies. They only do face to face interviews.
As for references, you need two professional references with contact information. A letter is optional.

I already interviewed with them.
