It's great to get those types of recomemdations! Kudos! I wonder if he could force an HTML <b> in his recommendation? Hey Jason! It’s great to get those types of recomemdations! Kudos!

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

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