hello.

i am planning on going to grad. school after my time in japan. is it possible to get a letter of reccomendation from your boss at the school you taught at? thanks

[Gordon]

Of course. You can get a letter of recommendation from anyone.

[nomadder]

I agree. Just remember to spell the word the way Gordon does.

if this is a serious query then you might want to bear in mind that your recommendation to go to grad school might be anathema to your employer if they don't know anything about your course or what it involves. Do they Phillis?

Sure... I wrote several letters for former employees.
Be sure to tell your recommender a little bit about what
you intend to study and how you think your work is
related. That will help him/her to focus the letter on
aspects of your work record that are relevant.
