@Lisa, as far as I know you can’t put any html in Recommendations… let me know if you find out otherwise…

Hey Jason! It’s great to get those types of recomemdations! Kudos!

I wonder if he could force an HTML in his recommendation?

Hi Jason, I agree, this is a great recommendation (and all true!). It’s nice to get these unsolicited surprises!

One thing I do when requesting a recommendation – is to provide that person a couple of points to consider in the writing – in their own words and style of course.

For example, I recently requested a recommendation for my work as a board member. I asked the chapter president if she would comment on my leadership style and the programming quality.

Because otherwise you can end up w/ something too vague.

Hope you’re doing well!
